Wikileaks.org muzzled

Wikileaks.org, the site for whistleblowers has been ordered to take down its site by a court in San Francisco. According to Techworld:

The order came after a Swiss bank, Julius Baer, earlier this month filed a complaint against the site and San Mateo, California-based Dynadot, Wikileaks’ domain-name registry, for posting several hundred of the bank’s documents.

Some of those documents allegedly reveal that Julius Baer was involved in offshore money laundering and tax evasion in the Cayman Islands for customers in several countries, including the US.

Why am I not surprised that Bank Julius Baer might take this action? The bank has long been suspected of being implicated in tax evasion, something I knew about at least 10 years ago.

But…have no fear because there is another way to get to the site: check this direct IP link address and voila! Check here for the correspondence between WIkileaks and BJB’s lawyer’s
