A trove of hacked emails published by WikiLeaks in 2012 excludes records of a €2 billion transaction between the Syrian regime and a government-owned Russian bank, according to leaked U.S. court documents obtained by the Daily Dot.
The court records, placed under seal by a Manhattan federal court and obtained by the Daily Dot through an anonymous source, show in detail how a group of hacktivists breached the Syrian government's networks on the eve of the country's civil war and extracted emails about major bank transactions the Syrian regime was hurriedly making amid a host of economic sanctions. In the spring of 2012, most of the emails found their way into a WikiLeaks database.
But one set of emails in particular didn't make it into the cache of documents published by WikiLeaks in July 2012 as "The Syria Files," despite the fact that the hackers themselves were ecstatic at their discovery. The correspondence, which WikiLeaks has denied withholding, describes "more than" €2 billion ($2.4 billion, at current exchange rates) moving from the Central Bank of Syria to Russia's VTB Bank.

Conspiracy nutters will believe just about anything, from Clinton hit squads to FEMA concentration camps [wikipedia.org] to the faked moon landings [wikipedia.org]. It would be humorous if it wasn't so sad.
