Julius Baer Whistleblower Who Was Supposed To Hand Over To Wikileaks List Of 2,000 Tax Evaders, Arrested In Switzerland
Headlines from Sky News for now. Swiss police arrest ex-banker Rudolf Elmer on new charges relating to handover of bank client data to WikiLeaks. Just justice being served.
From Reuters:
Swiss police on Wednesday arrested former banker Rudolf Elmer on fresh charges of breaching Swiss bank secrecy law for giving data to WikiLeaks, hours after he was found guilty of another secrecy offense.
"The state prosecutor's office is checking to see whether Rudolf Elmer has violated Swiss banking law by handing the CD over to WikiLeaks," the Zurich cantonal (state) police and state prosecutor said in a joint statement.
Earlier on Wednesday, a court found Elmer guilty of breaching banking secrecy for publicising private client data. He was also found guilty of threatening an employee at his former firm Julius Baer.
Elmer, who helped bring WikiLeaks to prominence three years ago when he used it to publish secret client details, on Monday handed over new data to the website, which has outraged U.S. authorities by releasing thousands of confidential State Department cables.

it is a faith based initiative... i heart god and he told me thru my dog that julian was trying to have spec ops guys murdered... cause he released the facts... god wants julian dead! palin too! yippeee!
I gave up on these idiots before, now I practice ignoring them and thier bullshit... unless I feel like grinding my heel into the back of thier necks for fun.
All these attacks on Wikileaks and Assange yield to one simple question - who benefits?
Who benefits if Wiki is discredited? Who benefits if Assange is discredited?
It should be painfully obvious that disinformation is being played hardball here on ZH. Who is being conned and why?
Is there any intelligent life left on this planet? We are all being played like a tuba and I haven't heard one single voice being raised asking - who benefits?
Who benefits?
Precisely.
I feel like donning my tinfoilhat and digging out Mike Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon" for a self-imposed refresher course.
I agree. This is being played but I do think Wikileaks is the real deal. I may be proven wrong but from my research it looks like they are are a legit whistle blower org.
The memes (disinformation) are being floated on a number of sites. Big question seems to be whether Julian et al buy into official 9-11 stories. Julian has refused to address this. Which I think is smart from a marketing pov - truthers are still the minority - better to get your message to most.
This is playing out now - if the bank stuff is not forthcoming shortly, I may revise my opinion.
We really do live in interesting times
Look it's simple. Wikileaks is being HYPED up. Made more than it is. It's being hyped up to destroy. It's like a fucking stupid biblical story. Here's your goliath watch us make it bigger and more important than it is and then eat it. That'll scare ya. Wikileaks is no more or less dangerous than dozens and dozens and dozens of people. It put the kid from oklahoma in jail within WEEKS of leaking. It has a huge budget. It's gets yahoo news up on it's nutsack more than some stupid pop star. It's embroiled in LEGAL battles. It gives up territory and get's wins. But it's probably just another controlled show about how to fight us and how to not do it effectively.
Just leak the damn stuff and be done. If it has massive amounts of information then freaking leak it. There doesn't have to be super hackers stupid banks and companies let information out all the damn time. Anyone who decided to become a hard drive scrap dealer could be julian assange with someone who knows how to swap circuit boards on hard drives or pop open the top and get them spinning long enuogh to pull off data and scan them for interesting bits of information.
And yes it's dangerous. I would like to personally beat those helicopter pilots to death with a running lawnmower for killing the reuters people.
But everyone is getting a picture of what we are facing. People who punish us people who pretend to care about us to keep us coming back for more so they can try to make us feel that they are unstoppable or unbeatable and we should just submit.
This is not going to be fixed or affected by julian assange it will be fixed by a complete and total breakdown of the rule of law. It's going on right now. Massive fraud little fraud and you are not going to know if it's powers that be or ordinary citizens just fed up and breaking the law.

Is this amazon or is it just some guys that slipped past amazon. My guess it's just some guys.
It doesn't matter to me one bit. If I don't see a non-monopolized honest money system real fucking soon here I'm out of this place and you will never see me on earth or in heaven again. I will earth bound ghost and stay that way forever or until someone packs me into a privacy zone. If these bushes and these fraudsters and these murderous fucking pieces of shit are anywhere near the light I won't go back. There's no fucking way I'm giving up my autonomy to it ever again and there's no fucking way I'll co-create with these goddamn monsters. It's beyond dehumanizing them. Sociopaths set up subsocieties and they've accomplished it. They've set up a subculture within the world of the ruling class involving lying ass politicians and brutal ass soldiers. And it's nothing but a waste of time. Everytime they "clean" out the corruption all they clean out is the normal halfway decent people that they've been able to warp into shit. And they can probably sorta heal them just by leaving them the fuck alone. Giving people the impression that all of these rotten pieces of shit are healable. Well they ain't. Thier motto is if you can't make me stop I'm not stopping.
Preach! Brother!! Preach!!!!!
Julian spreads a message to the masses, fact... http://www.wikileaks.ch/
The internet has a switch installed, fact... http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=internet+kill+switch&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=f71c9d2b3ccf4dd5
We are just entertaining ourselves here while life goes on, without change...
I'm still waiting for the rape allegations against Rudolf.
It will be interesting to learn who the 40 politicians that have overseas accounts are - more proof that LAWS AND TAXES ARE FOR PEONS AND PEASANTS.
The data Elmer handed over to WikiLeaks is expected to hit the press in 2 weeks.
Let us not forget the suicide of Julius Baer's CEO, Alex Widmer, in 2008, which was linked with Wikileaks' initial leak of documents suggesting systemic money laundering having taken place at Julius Baer's Cayman Island operations.
Bank Julius Baer CEO dies unexpectedly Fri, Dec 5 2008By Katie Reid
ZURICH (Reuters) - Alex Widmer, the chief executive of Bank Julius Baer and a well respected figure in Swiss private banking, has died unexpectedly at the age of 52, the bank said.
A source told Reuters he had been informed by close friends of Widmer's family that the banker had committed suicide.
Swiss news website 20Minuten cited two unnamed independent sources as saying it was a case of suicide.
Swiss police declined to comment on the death.
Julius Baer, Switzerland's biggest dedicated wealth manager which has roots dating back to the 19th century, is based in Zurich and manages more than 360 billion Swiss francs ($300.8 billion) in assets for rich individuals and institutions.
A spokesman said there was no link between Widmer's death and the group's current activities, but declined to give further details on the cause of Widmer's death overnight on Wednesday, saying it was a private matter.
The Swiss news agency SDA said Widmer's wife died from cancer in 2005.
A Zurich-based trader said employees at the bank had been told Widmer had died from an unspecified illness. Widmer, a Swiss citizen, had three children.
"Alex Widmer was the very epitome of a Swiss private banker," Julius Baer said in a statement.
"It is a great shame," added a Zurich-based trader. "It is very sad. He embodied Julius Baer. He was the most important person in private banking."
... .
CHARISMATIC LEADER
Commenting on Widmer's death, Chairman Raymond Baer said in a statement: "We have lost a dear friend, a good colleague and a charismatic leader."
"Alex very successfully opened up new dimensions for the Private Banking business of Julius Baer. His enormous commitment, his active relationship and close involvement with the clients and his passion for banking will forever serve as a model for us," Baer said.
Widmer joined the Julius Baer Group in 2005 as a member of the executive board and head of private banking and became the chief executive of Bank Julius Baer in November 2007.
The bulk of his career was spent at Credit Suisse, where he worked for 19 years, as global head of private banking from 2002 to 2005 and as a member of the executive board.
Before that he was the chief executive of Credit Suisse's Asia-Pacific and Middle East business. He also worked in Tokyo and New York early in his career after gaining a doctorate in economics from the prestigious St. Gallen university in 1985.
