Long-Awaited Wikileaks Secret Bank Of America Files Have Been Destroyed

A look back at the Wikileaks, Bank of America document drop that never happened.

Bank of America may just have dodged a bullet when it comes to the stash of its confidential information that was said last year to be in the hands of Wikileaks. After an internal feud, a break-away member of Wikileaks has told Spiegel Online that he has destroyed information that he took from the organisation – and Wikileaks itself says that includes 5 gigabytes of information from Bank of America.

Tensions between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and ex-spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg have escalated. According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, the former deputy destroyed thousands of unpublished documents entrusted to WikiLeaks. The information they contained appears to be lost forever.
Former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg claims to have destroyed more than 3,500 unpublished files obtained from unknown informants. The information they contained is now apparently lost, irrevocably. The documents in question were stored on the WikiLeaks server until late summer 2010, when Domscheit-Berg left the organization , taking the files with him upon his departure.
Now Domscheit-Berg says that these documents were "shredded over the past few days in order to ensure that the sources are not compromised." WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could not guarantee safe handling of the documents, he says.

That sounds awfully convenient. Something smells funny.

Edit: Think about it. Dude has some sort of earth-shattering data, but stores the data in one place only? Not a chance. Storage is cheap as hell. That could have been copied onto a thumb drive and mailed to grandma's house along with family photos or something, and on and on.

Nope, I am not buying it.

How do you shred 5 gigabytes?

Seems plausible. With Julian Assange made the scapegoat, and if I read correctly, faces the death penalty in the US, that would make everyone else in his organization very hesitant to release any more dangerous material. A few serious threats against him if he did release it would likely set him strait. We all know the bankers are more serious than any other group with this type of thing. He wouldn't necessarily have the same media protection that Assange does....other people within wikileaks getting taken down could easily be a footnote.

Another thing is, they wouldn't necessarily have copies everywhere. They have to worry about moles within their organization, I'm sure there's quite a healthy dose of paranoia there.

sounds like how in 8th grade my friend had a canadian girl friend he met at band camp.

OK, I was about to type the same observation.

You hold information that has historical global implications that you can fit on a thumb drive, and only one copy? Not bloody likely.

so now, the evidence, which no one has and no one knows what was in it, is gone. So now the charges rest on heresay. If there is no evidence, only a faint scent of evidence how are they going to go forward on this? Still #1 rule applies: Trust no one.

Either money or blackmail.

This is all garbarge....Assange is a friggen fraudster.

Bradon Raub is in a dam mental spiderhole for just ramabling to himself ...yet JA divulged "state secrets" and he was able to post 10,000 bond ( Auto Theft has higher bond amounts) and walks as a freem man giving interviews??

Are you kidding me?

[uaodnabnjz]

this definitly does not pass the sniff test.

[Gypejeva]

Assange is being played like a flute. He is part of a psyops and doesn't even know it. He is but a tool.

this definitly does not pass the sniff test.

It reeks of Bagels and Matzo Balls
