Swiss Bank Julius Baer has dropped their suit against Wikileaks.

Swiss Bank Julius Baer has dropped their suit against Wikileaks. Link. See my previous coverage here and here.

Presumably they realized that a) this wasn't going to be a quick "shut them up while we go public" suit, b) it wasn't going to work anyway and c) it was making matters much, much worse.

A good rule of thumb for people who have embarrassing information about themselves posted on the internet. Feel free to try and clear it up quietly. But don't make a public fuss. No matter how bad you think the situation is, it can always get worse. And if you make it a public issue, it will get worse.
