Daniel Domscheit-Berg the 32 year old German technology activist known as Daniel Schmitt, the German spokesperson for the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks, has destroyed over 3000 unpublished private communications to WikiLeaks. 12 months ago WikiLeaks suspended the former employee and have attempted through a mediator to negotiate the return of the whistleblower communiqués. Domscheit-Berg allegedly attempted repeatedly to blackmail WikiLeaks to prevent legal action relating to his theft of and refusal to return the stolen communications. A statement released from WikiLeaks states “Domscheit-Berg has illegitimately taken this data along with Wikileaks’ secure online submissions system, funds and internal documentation. He has sabotaged years of work … We have had to recreate this work under difficult circumstances … at a significant cost to Wikileaks, which is under an unlawful Washington instigated financial blockade”.
