Financial Problems Could Shut WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks said it will shut down by year-end if financial-services companies don’t lift restrictions on donations that have hobbled the organization.
The Web site — which publishes leaked, sensitive documents — said it is temporarily suspending all publishing operations so that it can devote its resources to battling Visa Inc., MasterCard Inc., eBay Inc.’s PayPal, Bank of America Corp. and other companies that have prohibited payments to the site since last December.
