Spokesman of Wikileaks surprised by Valitor's view 21. janúar 2015 23:19 Kristinn Hrafnsson, spokesman of Wikileaks. Vísir/ÞÞ Kristinn Hrafnsson, the spokesman of Wikileaks, says that grants the fundings to the organization did not arrive until later on and therefore they're not mentioned in the annual accounts of the company that handled the collection of the funding. He says that the main issue is that VISA in Iceland (Valitor) did not show any intent to pay any damages to the organization for their offences. Valitor has not been willing to negotiate for damages for Datacell and Sunshine Press Productions, the two companies which handled the collection of the funding for Wikileaks. With the ruling of the Supreme Court in Icelaand in 2013, Valitor's decision of closing the payment gateway was ruled illegitimate. Since then, the two companies and Valitor have disagreed about damages. Review of the annual accounts of the two companies revealed that they did not have any income for the last few years. Not even at the time when the payment gateway was open. Valitor insists there was no financial loss since the companies are not able to show any income. Kristinn Hrafnsson, the spokesman of Wikileaks, says the explanation is that the funding was not received until later on, outside the annual accounts of the operating year. Therefore, the income is not specified. "The small amount of money which came in during the few hours before Valitor closed the account, illegally according to the ruling of the Supreme Court in 2013, was not returned to Wikileaks until much later. It was just in a party holding account," Kristinn says. Kristinn is surprised at the conduct of Valitor and the lawyer of the company. A natural response would have been negotiating damages for the loss Valitor made Wikileaks suffer by closing the payment gateway. "I'm not able to see the benefit for Valitor by showing such unreasonableness and delaying the case infinitely keeping in mind there is already a ruling.” News in English Tengdar fréttir Wikileaks collectors demand bankruptcy for Valitor Two companies, handling the collection of the funding for Wikileaks, have demanded that Valitor, which handles VISA in Iceland, should be made bankrupt due to an unpaid claim for damages, amounting to about 10 billion kronas 18. janúar 2015 21:54 Bankruptcy claims upsets operations at Valitor Sigurður G.
