Uhhh ... we're waiting. Last month, the rumor was WikiLeaks was about to drop a document bomb on Charlotte's baby, Bank of America. At first, BofA was all "no biggie, we're cool." Then they got a little tense, tightened security and ... *crickets*. That's pretty much where the story ends.

Of course, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange didn't say BofA was the group's next target. People heard "big" and "bank" and figured the Q.C.'s big bank was it. But, thing is, the WikiLeaks hasn't dropped a document bomb on any big bank, anywhere.

So, we wait.

Meanwhile, Libya's President, Moammar Gaddaffi, blames WikiLeaks for the political uprising in Tunisia. Wow. That's something. Who knew a website could topple entire governments? At least they're not slacking off.

And, just this week, a banker in Switzerland handed over documents to WikiLeaks, alleging attempts by wealthy business leaders and lawmakers to evade taxes. (That's not exactly shocking, though, is it?) Anyway, here's the video, which explains the hold up on new leaks ... they're busy, yo.
