It seems ages ago that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange promised to unleash a cache of secret documents from the hard drive of a U.S. megabank executive. In 2009, Assange told Computer World that the bank was Bank of America (BofA). In 2010 he told Forbes that he needed time to lay out the information in a more user-friendly format and that the information was significant enough to "take down a bank or two". Last month, the rumor was WikiLeaks was about to drop a document bomb on Bank of America.

Why WikiLeaks Matters
By Greg Mitchell 2011-01-17
Nearly fifty days have passed since the WikiLeaks document release in late November, this one centering on US diplomatic cables and quickly dubbed "Cablegate." At this writing, not even 3,000 cables from the cache -- which reportedly holds more than 251,000 documents -- have been published by WikiLeaks or, in most cases, by its newspaper partners. It's impossible to know whether everything of prime importance has already emerged in the cherry-picking.
