Assange Confirms that Bank of America Is the Target of Bank Leak

There has been widespread speculation that WikiLeaks would target Bank of America.

This has now been confirmed.

Specifically, Agence Press France is reporting:

Assange also confirmed that WikiLeaks was holding a vast amount of material about Bank of America which it intends to release early next year.

5. Great! Years ago I had an account at BoA....I lost the account book

and in the time it took me to find it they had confiscated my account. It was over 30 years ago and it was a saving account. I wonder how many people they have done that to. It was only a couple of hundred dollars and the time and hassle it would have taken to get it back was not worth it to me. Needless to say, I didn't know the process. The account was in CA and I was living in NY.

7. Same thing happened to a person I know. B of A is a dirtbag business of thieves. nt

6. It would depend on the nature of what he has, but if it has to do with

the CEO's personal knowledge that the bank was creating CDO's with fraudulent intent, or had controlling interest
in predatory lenders, or were using hedge fund money to leverage investments outside of the allowances made by the S.E.C.,
this has the potential of bringing the whole discussion of how they created toxic assets and foisted them on the country.

Much of that seems to have fallen off the radar, even though it is all still very much alive, so I can't help thinking this
is a good thing, though in reading the reporting it doesn't sound like it would be at the level of a national scandal
or criminal action.

We shall see...

8. This is why Holder is after Assange

I don't think they give a rat's ass about the military leaks. They need to stop the leaking of Wall Street's criminal activities.

11. are you saying a national scandal would be bad?

and exposing criminal action would be bad?

9. Now Assange is in real trouble

to take on the U.S. government is one thing, but to take on the owners of that government? Quite another.
