Wikileaks has said that they will be releasing another cache of documents, this time targeting one of the largest banks in the U.S.

What does he have on them?

Could this crash our banking system? Listening to the radio this morning, depending on what he has, it could bring the whole system down around our ears...

Bank of America May Be Wikileak's Next Target
cnbc

On Tuesday November 30, 2010, 4:11 pm EST

Bank of America may be the next target of a cache of Wikileaks documents.

Earlier this week, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said that he planned to release tens of thousands of documents on one of the largest banks in the U.S. The documents would reveal unethical behavior at the bank that would likely prompt official investigations and reforms, Assange said...

Radio personalities were worried it could have something to do with government buying up futures and other stuff to stabilize the markets illegally. I don't really have my head wrapped around the financial markets, but I could see how depending on what he releases, he could easily cause a major run on the banks.

No, this guy is like The Joker. He can't be bribed or reasoned with, he just wants to see America burn. He is a raving anti-war leftist and former hacker who hates America as much as Bin Laden does. He's a cyber terrorist and a fanatic. You can't buy him off. There's only one way to shut him up.

Oh fucking great. I couldn't run on the fucking bank if I wanted to.  Some joker out in CA just tried to charge a few grand worth of fancy bullshit to my card.  They locked it around 4pm today.

Like others have iterated, Fuck BOA, I withdrew all and future business after they establish special products that catered to illegals and were a heavy participant/recipient in TARP.  They also purchased, the worst of the worst mortgage lender, Countrywide.  Countrywide's underwriting standards were nothing short of fraudulent.  They sliced and diced shitty mortgages and sold them as AAA securities.  I can't wait till the bad debt implodes and all the big banks are FORCED to realize their losses.  I am also hearing that many big banks are setting aside legal funds to fight investors who intend on "pushing back" i.e. making the Banks buy back all the shitty mortgage-backed securities that were misrepresented when originally sold.  If I was in the market to short, I would have some heavy puts on BOA or Citibank.

My only question is, why is Assange waiting to drop this potential bombshell?

+1 That BOA sucks.  We applied 3 months ago to refi our farm for a lower interest rate and paid a $400.00 fee.  They called yesterday and advised that they don't have a program for farms but thanks for the $400.00.   We filed a complaint the the Florida AG today.

I never said he was focused on US Corporations. He wants to bring down the US. He's gone after the military, he's gone after the US diplomatic actions and now he plans to cripple the US financial sector.



He has said with his own mouth that US Soldiers are debased and bloodthirsty. He has said that his goal is to bring about political change through the releasing of suppressed materials. He wants America to burn baby burn. That is his goal, to bring down the US.

Actually I would like to see him expose the politicians & their dealings with the banks - I'm sure a lot of under the table payments & other illegal shit was done under TARP to benefit corrupt politicians making decisions.

Ok let's say BOA collapses, I take it all of you people don't have a single ounce of compassion for the bank's 283 thousand+ employees?  

I don't work for BOA but I work in the banking industry; I worked hard in college, do not come from a rich background, and now provide a service that I KNOW helps my customers.  This service is reasonably priced and is made accessible to responsible companies.  Apparently I deserve to be graced with unemployment just because a few people made all bankers look like they were evil?

Beyond that, do you realize that if the banking system did collapse, this would be VERY BAD THING?  I have my credit card with BOA and my checking account and I am overall satisfied with the service that I have been provided.  I'm sorry that a few folks have had bad experiences... but it would be really bad for me if they collapsed.  Now imagine that I'm a large corporation that has a line of credit with BOA.  Yeah.

Stop being so ignorant, close minded, and angry.  One person makes a mistake and you want to kill the whole village?

Oh; and FUCK Soros and all the pricks throughout the world that want to see our Nation brought down. Lets not forget the traitors in Washington and their supporter's. The greatest of all of which are the Bankers. If the Government wanted to really do something to protect and preserve our Republic, Federal agents would be bussed to Wall Street and mass arrests and confiscation of records would occur. NO institution is "too large to fail"; especially those that have sought to profit from our current financial crisis. Why did Lehman Brothers fail but we bailed out AIG? Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that AIG owed Goldman BILLIONS on CDS's, did it? And that Goldman's ex-CEO was Secretary of the Treasury? Why aren't we all up in arms about these crimes? All we seem to want to complain about is Obama and his citizenship. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Last year his staff had over 50,000 hours of research into what he went over.

That's why his attackers go after him or his delivery.
