WikiLeaks Sees Financial Spigot Re-Open, Wounds Itself on Satiric Hoax

The Internet-based whistleblower website WikiLeaks appears to have won some battles to recover its financial infrastructure in the past few weeks, winning the first stage of a legal battle in Iceland with Visa Corporation and gaining a French source for accepting donations in the Fund for Defense of Net Neutrality (FDN²). But a WikiLeaks satire of former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller — admitted as a phony by WikiLeaks July 29 on its Twitter feed — threatens to undo much of the organization's credibility. FDN² claims that banks and credit card companies are legally bound to honor the French-based "Carte Bleue" transfer system.
