Banking system: reform, what reform? (part 2)

Former Manchester United star Eric Cantona urged followers to help him bring down a "criminal and corrupt" banking system by withdrawing their savings.

The man behind the leaks, Julian Assange, has been hailed as a hero by his supporters and denounced as a terrorist by his critics.
