Swiss banker Rudolf Elmer due to hand over files to WikiLeaks which detail attempts by the rich to evade taxes?


Share |

Rudolf Elmer, a former employee of Swiss-based Bank Julius Baer is due to hand over files to WikiLeaks which he alleges detail attempts by "high net worth" celebrities, business leaders and lawmakers from the U.S., Britain and Asia to evade taxes. Is this also evil? Should Assange be strung up for this...

It's a good sign, that people with information are trusting wikileaks. The negative press that has been fabricated to marginalize wikileaks may not be working. Although they are trying very hard to make the issue about Assange, and not the disclosures.

Are you implying by your question that Assange should NOT get into trouble for exposing government fraud and that because he is working to improve the integrity of government perhaps he should even be supported and admired? If so, your point is well taken.

And, yes, Elmer's courage certainly closely parallels Assange's.
