Saw this tweeted out this evening and it looks pretty legit.

In a previous post, and in reply comment to JSBach's post "I don't believe a word...about the party being in a panic!", I added links to not only the filing document that JS provided, and that you have also posted, but also links to the entity that actually did this back in January...Red Curve Solutions.

Below is my reply to the original post by JSBach:

Romney/Ryan FEC Form 1 Filing...

does appear to be legitimate, JSBach, so thanks for the alert.

Any question of legitimacy seems to fade when you notice who filed the Romney for President filing back in January...Red Curve Solutions out of Beverly, Massachusetts. http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/662/201601309004959662/201601309004959662.pdf (link is external)

Red Curve Solutions was/is very cosy with Romney. The two founding brothers, Brian and Darrell Crate, worked with the Romney/Ryan campaign back in 2012 handling the campaign's contributions as well as funneling money to other GOP state committees. http://www.redcurve.com/our_team/ (link is external)

Brian Crate goes even further back with Romney, working in Romney's administration when he was governor of Massachusetts. Here's a local Salem, MA news article about this.

Tim Jost, the SEC filing designated agent, worked for Romney as far back as 2003.
Oh what a tangled, and very well connected, web they do weave.

or can they amend that at anytime?...Further, could this filing be a step to transferring the assets of the old committee to the new committee? And how much is that worth? Also, if there is a brokered convention couldn't the floor nominate him again? My God, the question. The questions!

It ain't about "What You Got"; it's "What You DO" with what you got.
