Next WikiLeaks About Big US Bank?

By

Supposedly, yes.

Early next year, Julian Assange says, a major American bank will suddenly find itself turned inside out. Tens of thousands of its internal documents will be exposed on Wikileaks.org with no polite requests for executives’ response or other forewarnings. The data dump will lay bare the finance firm’s secrets on the Web for every customer, every competitor, every regulator to examine and pass judgment on. When? Which bank? What documents? Cagey as always, Assange won’t say, so his claim is impossible to verify. But he has always followed through on his threats.

Feel free to take a gander at who we’re talking about here.

    Why are internal documents threatening, while internal markers are pleasuring?

    BREAKING NEWS: the price of CDS on Julian Assange’s life sky-rocketed following rumors that he was planning… to mess… with Oldmanay Achsay. Carlos declined to give a statement.

    If it’s the GS, you won’t have to source another story for weeks.

    So, I’m guessing this is a heads up to short every bank? Calling my Schwab advisor right now and putting all my $500 on this right away.

    I’ll make you a bet right now. I got a million dollars left in my bonus – it’s yours tomorrow AM. You put it in KZI shares and you leverage that to the max. That’s how much I believe in this firm.

    My sources tell me that the bank in question is the First Federal Bank of Bismark, North Dakota. The leak pertains to the handshake loans given to local ranchers without proper documentation. The ranchers pay in full, I might add.

    Is it not obvious? This is the final definitive proof of a fact we all know quite well. UBS Sucks.
