Australian Financial Review reports:
Whistleblower website WikiLeaks offered a [US$100,000] bounty for copies of a Pacific trade pact that is a central plank of President Barack Obama's diplomatic pivot to Asia on Tuesday.
WikiLeaks, which has published leaked chapters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiating text before, started a drive to crowdsource money for the reward, just as U.S. unions launched a new push to make the text public.
"The transparency clock has run out on the TPP. No more secrecy. No more excuses. Let's open the TPP once and for all," WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a statement.

Total job security and a life in a tropical paradise traded away for a small flat in Moscow and an uncertain future on the run as a fugitive from justice.
You probably didn't intend it this way, but he's running away from unethical thugs, not justice. Our legal system doesn't deal in justice by any means.
