WikiLeaks’ next target is a “major American bank”

In an interview with Forbes, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says his site is in possession of a trove of secret bank documents that will likely “stimulate investigations and reforms.” “For this, there’s only one similar example. It’s like the Enron emails,” he said. When asked how high impact these documents are, he responded, “I mean, it could take down a bank or two.” Over the last year, Wikileaks has released 76,000 secret Afghan war documents and 392,000 files from the Iraq war, constituting the largest classified military security breaches in history. On Sunday, it released the first of 250,000 classified U.S. State Department cables, which has exposed sensitive conversations between America’s top diplomats.
