After targeting the war on terror and US diplomacy, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says his next “mega-leak” will expose the “ecosystem of corruption” in the financial industry.

Speaking to Forbes, Assange said he plans to release thousands of internal emails and documents belonging to “a big US bank” in early 2011. He gave no clue as to which institution it will be, but said that the data dump will “give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms”.
