They've been redacting information in every leak so far.

I'm not sure who could get killed if some bank information is public, but if they have a lot of documents, this could take some time.



Get it wrong and they could quite easily cause a run and bring down a bank. That'd be unlikely to cause deaths but could very easily cause personal and corporate bankruptcies.


Killing would be a bit extreme, Discrediting would be another option. Leaking a bunch of fabricated information could harm Wikileaks.

Much of the information can't be verified.It's up to a single source(Wikileaks) to vouch for a proper source.

I'm sure somewhere Elvis is still alive in one of those documents. He's being kept in safe place guarded by Bigfoot.
