WikiLeaks to 'take down a US bank'

After sending shock waves across world capitals leaking a quarter million State Department cables, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has threatened to unleash tens of thousands of documents that could "take down a bank or two."

A fresh "megaleak" will target a "big US bank early next year," he told Forbes in an interview posted Monday without naming the bank.

"Yes. 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."

The bank leak would "give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms, I presume," Assange said. "Usually when you get leaks at this level, it's about one particular case or one particular violation."

He compared the coming documents to the emails that exposed US energy giant Enron's dealings amid its collapse.

"This will be like that. Yes, there will be some flagrant violations, unethical practices that will be revealed, but it will also be all the supporting decision-making structures and the internal executive ethos ... and that's tremendously valuable," Assange said.

"You could call it the ecosystem of corruption. But it's also all the regular decision making that turns a blind eye to and supports unethical practices: the oversight that's not done, the priorities of executives, how they think they're fulfilling their own self-interest," he said.

Assange also told Forbes that the whistleblower website has material on many businesses and governments, including in Russia, and that it has some documents on pharmaceutical companies, which he did not identify.

Assange said that "about 50 percent" of documents held by WikiLeaks relate to the corporate world.

Diagnosis
The World Health Organization's ICD-10 lists narcissistic personality disorder under (F60.8) Other specific personality disorders.[16]

It is a requirement of ICD-10 that a diagnosis of any specific personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder criteria.

Diagnostic criteria (DSM-IV):

The essential feature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy that begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of situations and environments.
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
Rarely acknowledges mistakes and/or imperfections
Requires excessive admiration Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Lacks empathy: is unwilling or unable to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitude.

Sadly he doesnt care if his leaks are real or who they damage. Does he care that the colapse of a major bank will cause panic and financial hardship. Does he care that the rumor of such a leak can cause damage to inocent people.
No all he cares about is a little more attention and to feel important , rather than acepting he is a sad little man that should have been hugged more often by his mother.
 
probably another CIA maneuver to enforce communist like strict controls over banks while they cry foul against china for doing the same..banks are necesary evil..give them a free hand and they will ruin your economy..same happend to germany, europe and now USA.
