Ex-programmer Daniel Domscheit-Berg is about to publish a book about the move.
Julian Assange and Wikileaks confirms his submission software is out and can't receive new leaks.
Domscheit-Berg has taken a whole bunch of leaks with him when he left, Domscheit-Berg, is the author of "Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website,"
Assange is suing.
Domscheit-Berg, in his book, admits stealing leaks and compromising the security of Wikileaks anonymity. Kristinn Hrafnsson, a WikiLeaks spokesman, states.
"The sabotage and concern over motives led to an overhaul of the entire submission system," Hrafnsson added.
Leakers who've worked with the site before say the sites anonymity has been compromised, probably for months.
Domscheit-Berg has left Wikileaks for an another site, OpenLeaks.org with possible German backing.
Just how much material Domscheit-Berg stole from Wikileaks is unknown.
Domscheit-Berg won't say. But, he has let on that he might just give it back to Assange.
Domscheit-Berg is holding a a news conference on Thursday to say what he is gonna do.
The spat is over Domscheit-Berg calling Assange a dictator at Wikileaks. He wants Openleaks to be a less centralized organization.
The new website won't be a publisher. Instead it will be an agent between leakers and third parties interested in their information.
Assange is claiming to have leaked documents from a Bank of America exec cached. But, Domscheit-Berg tells German weekly magazine Stern that cache of leaks is old and "completely unspectacular."
