It looks like the U. S. bank mentioned in the last post as the target of Julian Assange’s next leak is very likely to be Bank of America. Apparently, Mr. Assange gave an interview last year in which he claimed to have in his possession the hard drive of a BoA executive:
“At the moment, for example, we are sitting on 5GB from Bank of America, one of the executive’s hard drives,” he said. “Now how do we present that? It’s a difficult problem. We could just dump it all into one giant Zip file, but we know for a fact that has limited impact. To have impact, it needs to be easy for people to dive in and search it and get something out of it.”
Hat tip: Calculated Risk
The things I could see as interesting there would be (1) the Countrywide era strategy on creating bad loans, and (2) the government negotiations as BofA acquired Countrywide, etc.
