The founder of whistle-blower website WikiLeaks plans to release tens of thousands of internal documents from a major U.S. bank early next year, Forbes Magazine reported on Monday.

Julian Assange declined in an interview with Forbes to identify the bank, but he said that he expected that the disclosures, which follow his group's release of U.S. military and diplomatic documents, would lead to investigations.

"We have one related to a bank coming up, that's a megaleak. It's not as big a scale as the Iraq material, but it's either tens or hundreds of thousands of documents depending on how you define it," Assange said in the interview posted on the Forbes website.

Keep them coming! I hope they have more juicy bits up their sleeve. I've been fairly disapointed so far.
 
I think that now a business interest might be at stake they might do something about the wilileaks.
 
According to a report I read this may actually be Bank of America. :( I suppose the Vampire Squid will live on.
 
"Assange also told the magazine that his group has material on many businesses and governments, including in Russia, and that it has some documents on pharmaceutical companies, which he did not identify."

I wasn't so ready to jump on the "he's-gonna-be-capped" bandwagon until I read that. Even he isn't assassinated by some shadowy Umbrella-esque corporation or a Russian-hired mobster, the real assassins could easily be camouflaged by the fact that Assange has basically made an enemy out of everyone.

It'll basically be a redux of "Who shot Mr. Burns" when literally everyone in Springfield had a motive.

Will the bank leak do more than confirm what we already know?

Maybe this won't get swept under the rug like the 14 investment firms investigation did.
