Now that hackers and web activists have gone after online supporters of Wikifreak Julian Assange, one must ask, Will Barclays Bank and other British firms be next?
Barclays is a big British bank that is housing a legal defense fund for Assange. According to Assange's London defense team, Barclays is housing an account called "FSI - Julian Assange Defence Fund."
The account is run by the accounting firm Hazlems Fenton. Assange's defense firm is Finers Stephens Innocent LLP. Account data is as follows:
Name of Account: "FSI - Julian Assange Defence Fund"
Account number: 93842452
Sort code: 20-77-67 BIC/Swift code BARC GB22
IBAN: GB86 BARC 2077 6793 8424 52
It will be interesting to see what happens to those who are helping Assange after his friends launched denial-of-service attacks on American and other financial houses and service providers who clamped down on Assange. Will there be reciprocity?
