First the bank strongarms a U.S. judge into closing the WikeLeaks.org domain, a site that exists so anonymous whistle blowers around the globe can document human rights offenses, corporate malfeasance, nuclear accidents, and the like, Cringely explains.

Second, and worse, the bank, Julius Baer, practices a solution that is, Cringe’s words here, “so mind-bogglingly stupid, you have to wonder if these guys need help getting their pants on each morning.”

Ultimately, the court orders have equated the name Julius Baer with money laundering and the documents in question are now “hotter than the Paris Hilton sex video,” Cringe asserts in Look before you leak.
