Julius Baer Bank tries to shut down Wikileaks.org for publishing client records

An offshore bank is seeking to close down a web-site for whistleblowers that is currently displaying account records that were allegedly leaked by the financial institution’s former Chief Operating Officer.
Cayman Islands-licensed Julius Baer Bank and Trust Co. Ltd. and its Swiss parent, Bank Julius Baer & Co. Ltd., filed a complaint against the anonymous operators of wikileaks.org and the California company that hosts its web-site, Dynadot LLC, at the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California on February 6, 2008.
