Bank of America Prepares for WikiLeaks Disclosure

The Bank of America is on edge about a statement made by WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange. The statement claims that early this year (2011), a major American bank will suddenly find itself turned inside out. In response to this statement, Bank of America has created a team of 15 to 20 internal and external experts to come up with a damage control plan in the event that WikiLeaks releases documents that would affect its reputation and brand. An internal investigation to determine what internal documents have been leaked to WikiLeaks has already begun.

Since Assange has announced that a company in the banking industry will be affected next, there has been speculation within the industry that the bank he is referencing is Bank of America. Bank of America has stated that its investigations have not lead to any information regarding what documents WikiLeaks may have, but it wants to be prepared.
