You can rollover to get around contribution limits [1], and the government gets your money now rather than later,
> A Roth IRA rollover (or conversion) shifts money from a traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth. You can get around Roth IRA income limits by doing a rollover. You'll owe tax on any amount you convert, and it could be substantial.
Limiting the max amount would reduce near-term government tax revenue. So I don't think it would happen.

- caddemon 5y agoInteresting, I thought there was an income limit on rollover as well but apparently that was axed in 2010. In any event Thiel couldn't have used this.
