>I just don't find it credible that after making people wait for these, the leaker couldn't take the time to rewrite the explanations for who he/she is and why he/she is leaking these documents and resorts to screenshots of 4chan posts.

What? A) there was a fairly lengthy record of why this person was doing what they were doing, and B) that's a mail client, not 4chan.




You're right. I wasn't paying enough attention and didn't read the screenshots in full because the server is swamped.

I'm interested in Part 2 honestly. Zerohedge.com seems to think these are a big deal and has theorized that this is one reason that BoA has recently moved to split it's mortgage operations from the rest of it's businesses.


Keep in mind these are from Anon, not WikiLeaks. The big dump that WL is preparing is yet to come. This is just a single ex-BoA employee releasing emails that they had bcc'd themselves because they were concerned about the illegality of what was being asked. This is only part 1 of the release, and the ex-employee also said they had much more, but had to keep some for "insurance".

My understanding is that this is a fairly pedestrian example of just one incident of fraud (cooking the books so as to remove records of foreclosures), with more to come.
