Bank of America Cuts WikiLeaks Funds
Bank of America announced it will no longer handle WikiLeaks funds.
"This decision is based upon our reasonable belief that WikiLeaks may be engaged in activities that are, among other things, inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments," Bank of America said.
WikiLeaks responded on Twitter by calling for sympathizers to close their Bank of America accounts.
"We ask that all people who love freedom close out their accounts at Bank of America," WikiLeaks tweeted.

In the past few weeks WikiLeaks supporters have tried high-profile cyber attacks against companies that refused to handle their funds anymore. In addition, WikiLeaks has longed claimed to hold thousands of Bank of America secret files in its possession.

Post a CommentSounds like a really good idea to deny services to them, nice article.
great article. I wonder what's going to happen next?
Great reporting, thanks... :o)
This must be why B of A just informed us of additional fees if we pay our house payment from a different bank. They want us to have an account with their bank to pay the money, which will then still be a no-fee payment. Great report.
Good reporting indeed, cheers :)
This will be interesting...
Good reporting! The story just keeps getting more complicated.
