Zurich - (Gnomes): Super confident self-publicising asshole Julian Assange has fallen for a joint CIA/MI5 sting involving thousands of bogus Swiss bank account details.
A CD of the confidential data was passed to him by an undercover spook who infiltrated some of Switzerland's most notorious hidey-holes.
The rogue files are said to contain disinformation on hundreds of politicians, corporate CEOs, A-List celebs and headlining acts on the Serious & Disorganised Crime Agency's list Peace Process luminaries.
Apparently the compilation has been choreographed by the same US/UK cryptographers responsible for calibrating the Stuxnet virus.
At a London press conference today Assange blathered on about the importance of his upcoming expose - which commentators reckon will defame nearly 2,000 of the world's biggest high net worth individuals.
Of course the Wikileaks founder is having none of it as he prepares to trouser a reported $2 million advance from the upcoming publication of his 'memoirs'.
Rumors much of the hagiography has been ghostwritten by JK Rowling are not quite unsubstantiated.
