Hacker Collective Anonymous To Release Documents Proving Bank Of America Committed Fraud This Monday By Tyler Durden Created 03/11/2011 - 22:03 After Julian Assange crashed and burned in his threat to release documents that expose fraud at Bank of America, many thought he had been only bluffing, and that BofA is actually clean. Not so fast. A member of the hacker collective Anonymous, which singlehandedly destroyed "hacker defense" firm HB Gary [1], who goes under the handle OperationLeakS [2]"is claiming to be have emails and documents which prove "fraud" was committed by Bank of America employees, and the group says it'll release them on Monday" reports Gawker [3]. As to the contents of the possible disclosure: ""He Just told me he have GMAC emails showing BoA order to mix loan numbers to not match it's Documents. to foreclose on Americans.. Shame." If indeed this makes the case against BofA' foreclosure practices stronger, it certainly explains why the banking consortium is scrambling to arrange a settlement, and also why Bank of America recently split off its $2 trillion in mortgages [4]into "good bank" and "bad bank" entities. As a "teaser", the Anonymous member released a November 1, 2010 email between two Balboa Insurance (a BAC subsidiary) employees, which while not proving any fraud, indicates he/she does indeed have access. The timeline on the email makes sense as it is a few weeks prior to the original disclosure [5]that Wikileaks would expose BofA. Perhaps the Assange team merely handed off its materials to Anonymous, which has previously demonstrated its solidarity with the Australian on various occasions. The full letter is below. [6] Gawker with more on why Brian Moynihan may not sleep too soundly overnight: OperationLeaks, which runs the anti-Bank of America site BankofAmericasuck.com [7], says the employee contacted the group to blow the whistle on Bank of America's shady business practices. "I seen some of the emails… I can tell you Grade A Fraud in its purest form…" read one tweet. "He Just told me he have GMAC emails showing BoA order to mix loan numbers to not match it's Documents.. to foreclose on Americans.. Shame." An Anonymous insider told us he believes the leak is real. "From what I know and have been told, it's legit," he said. "Should be a round of emails, then some files, possible some more emails to follow that." The documents should be released Monday on Anonleaks.ch [8], the same site where Anonymous posted [9] thousands of internal emails from hacked security company HBGary last month. That leak exposed [10] a legally-questionable plot to attack Wikileaks and ultimately led to the resignation [11] of HBGary CEO Aaron Barr. It is unclear whether this will be yet another climax-free build up, but Anonymous has certainly proven their mettle by putting HBGary effectively out of business with one masterful hack. Those I've spoken to in Anonymous are convinced there's something to this. Anonymous has a proven track record with leaks, and Bank of America has been in their crosshairs since they cut off [12] payments to Wikileaks in December. If it's real, it could be big. Keep your eye on anonleaks.ch: It should hit Monday. We urge readers to check into http://hbgary.anonleaks.ch/ [13] first thing Monday - after all this is the portal that released the original damning HBGary evidence, and brought down the firm within weeks. If it can do the same with Bank of America, Monday may just soon be a national holiday. h/t MM BAC Bad Bank Bank of America GMAC Source URL: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/hacker-collective-anonymous-release-documents-proving-bank-america-committed-fraud-monday Links: [1] http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_12/b4220066790741.htm [2] http://twitter.com/#!/operationleaks [3] http://gawker.com/#!5781158/what-does-anonymous-have-on-bank-of-america [4] http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-08/bofa-segregates-almost-half-its-mortgages-into-bad-bank-under-laughlin.html [5] http://www.zerohedge.com/article/wikileaks-next-target-big-us-bank [6] http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/von havenstein/Balboa.jpg [7] http://bankofamericasuck.com/ [8] http://anonleaks.ch/ [9] http://gawker.com/#!5758753/anonymous-hackers-launch-wikileaks-for-normal-people [10] http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/12/us/politics/12hackers.html [11] http://blogs.forbes.com/andygreenberg/2011/02/28/hbgary-federals-aaron-barr-resigns-after-anonymous-hack-scandal/ [12] http://www.newser.com/story/107862/bank-of-america-cuts-off-wikileaks.html [13] http://hbgary.anonleaks.ch/ _______________________________________________ Infowarrior mailing list Infowarrior@attrition.org https://attrition.org/mailman/listinfo/infowarrior
