"It was inevitable, given the nature of the site, that the 'whistleblowing

From the start, the site had readied itself by setting up servers in
Belgium and India as well as the US but, as they said yesterday,

censorship attacks from, of all places, the United States".

The site was shut down by California district court judge Jeffrey White
after Swiss investment bank Julius Baer issued an injunction;
the site had publishing several hundred pages of information that alleged
the bank was involved in money laundering and tax evasion in the Cayman
Islands."
