"There is a way that a way that leaks could be done without finding
out who did the leak. Anyone with access can just simply copy the text
to the clipboard, then paste into Windows Notepad, and then save it as
a normal text file. This will get rid of all the watermarks, then they
could upload to WikiLeaks, then WikiLeaks gets the $21,000+ bounty. As
long as the file is sent as a raw .txt file, and the user is using a
VPN to hide their identity, it will be all but impossible for the USTR
to find out who did it.

Pasting it as a raw .txt file will get rid of the "watermark" making
the actual leaker impossible to trace."
