shutting down website backfires for bank

This article is about the issues surrounding a controversial website known as WikiLeakS.org. WikiLeakS.org posts leaked and classified documents on the website in efforts to discourage unethical behavior by corporations and governments. Apparently, several tax evasion and money laundering schemes involving San Diego venture capitalist Jonathan Lampitt were posted on the website and later taken to court. I searched for WikiLeakS.org and couldn’t find it because a San Francisco federal court Judge was asked by a bank (who was defending a client) to take the website down, obviously the judge did. This site is not to be confused with the site wikileak.org, which is the blog site dedicated to discuss the ethical and technical issues surrounding the WikiLeakS.org project.
