Thread: Wikileaks financial woes

Wikileaks to stop publishing in order to focus on making money.

It seems wikileaks is having trouble collecting funds online as financial companies like Visa, MasterCard, Western Union and PayPal aren't allowing wikileaks to do business through them.

Gee, what a shock financial companies aren't going to aid a money making interest that has a trade that requires breaking untold laws and has been associated with groups that have threatened those very businesses and other customers of those businesses.

Julian clearly doesn't understand the law or business:

“These few companies are not allowed to decide how the world deals with its wallet,” he said in outrage.

He added that the financial blockade has no legal grounds in any country in the world, including the US, and so the move is clearly unlawful and motivated by extrajudicial reasons.

Nope, sorry Julian, these companies do have a legal reason to not assist financial transactions for criminal or even potentially criminal organizations. They also as a matter of corporate policy can deny service to a client if business with that client could harm their overall business.

He should have charged his clients more for leaking to them first.

Scheming, extorting rapists are still responsible for their own automobile maintenance.

Besides, his fan club is already making a nuisance of themselves in the streets. Stirring them up to further heights of stupidity will only hurt their cause.

Thus, the scumbag will live. :rolleyes:
