Wikileaks, best known for it’s exposed serious business and political corruption around the world, shuts down it’s operations (except materiel submissions) temporarily, because it has run out of money.
Wikileaks is a website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, organizational, or religious documents, while attempting to preserve the anonymity and un-traceability of its contributors. Within one year of its December 2006 launch, its database had grown to more than 1.2 million documents, leading to many front-page newspaper articles and political reforms.
Wikileaks is founded by Julian Assange, an Australian living in East Africa.
In a message posted on the site (wikileaks.com), founder Julian Assange appealed for donations from the public, saying he had received hundreds of thousands of pages relating to “corrupt banks, the US detainee system, the Iraq war, China, the UN and many others” but did not have the resources to release them.
