WikiLeaks chief said in 2009 group had BofA data

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - WikiLeaks has several gigabytes of data from a Bank of America Corp executive's hard drive, the organization's founder Julian Assange said in a published interview in 2009.

Assange's whistle-blower organization, which released 250,000 U.S. government diplomatic and military documents on November 28, plans to release tens of thousands of internal documents from a major U.S. bank early next year, according to an interview posted online on Monday by Forbes Magazine.

Assange declined to identify to Forbes which bank would be the subject of the release, but expected the leak to spawn investigations.

Mark Stephens, a London lawyer who represents Assange, said that Assange could not be immediately reached for comment on whether the bank documents he told Forbes about were the same Bank of America documents he talked to Computerworld about just over a year ago.
