Bank of America cuts off WikiLeaks payments - GoFuckYourself.com

C H R I S · 12-19-2010, 06:38 AM

Bank of America is blocking all payments intended for WikiLeaks, amid growing speculation that the whistle-blowing site will embarrass the finance industry next year as it has the US government by leaking thousands of private diplomatic cables.

?Bank of America joins in the actions previously announced by MasterCard, PayPal, Visa Europe and others and will not process transactions of any type that we have reason to believe are intended for WikiLeaks,? BOFA said.

No more server bunker for wikileaks, I guess. The place most be expensive!
Actually, the US government is going the wrong way. Cutting off all methods of income will mean that wikileaks will resort to the blackmailing business.
Or who knows, they might already be in the blackmailing business. Maybe that's why they get cut off more and more.

The pressure of the american government and some threats to investigate the bank themselves might have been the cause.

Bank of America sued over home loans, modifications - Dec 2010

Arizona and Nevada are suing Bank of America Corp., claiming one of the nations largest banks engaged in mortgage fraud.

Attorney General Terry Goddard announced the lawsuit, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, on Friday. It came after the office said hundreds of complaints have been filed against Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and that the company violated the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act and a consent judgment from March 2009 between the state and Countrywide companies, which Bank of America owns.

?Bank of America has been the slowest of all the servicers to ramp up loss mitigation efforts in response to the housing crisis,? he said. ?It has shown callous disregard for the devastating effects its servicing practices have had on individual borrowers and on the economy as a whole.?

The lawsuit follows a year-long investigation of Bank of America into its loan modification and foreclosures. It asks the court to find that the bank violated the consent order and is asking for $25,000 to defendants for each violation of the agreement and $10,000 for each violation of the state?s fraud act.

Nevada, which was hard hit by the lawsuit, also filed suit against Bank of America. Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto filed in the Eighth Judicial District of Nevada on similar grounds Goddard filed, the state said. The Nevada complaint alleges the bank told consumers they would not be foreclosed on while requests for loan modifications were under way, not acting on the modifications within a specific time, making false promises to consumers and potentially selling their homes while they were waiting for decisions.

"We are holding Bank of America accountable for misleading and deceiving consumers,? said Masto. ?Nevadans who were trying desperately to save their homes were unable to get truthful information in order to make critical life decisions.? Bank of America officials said they were disappointed the lawsuit was filed and they are working with several other states in discussions led by Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller in resolving customer complaints about the process

I worked for an appraisal management firm from early 2004 til late 2007...the one and only office job I ever had. Based on my experiences, not EVERY bank of corrupt, but a lot certainly are. A couple of my clients were ones that got royally screwed by the govt shortly thereafter because of what they were doing, and I doubt it deterred anyone else because it was pretty much the way of the land.

WikiLeaks is making the USA less secure.

Anything that can be done to stop it is a good idea.

Wrong. The government and big business are doing that all on their own.
