Are there good reasons to wait to release the documents other than to maximize publicity and fund-raising abilities?

  They've been redacting information in every leak so far. I'm not sure who could get killed if some bank information is public, but if they have a lot of documents, this could take some time.

    Killing would be a bit extreme, Discrediting would be another option. Leaking a bunch of fabricated information could harm Wikileaks. Much of the information can't be verified.It's up to a single source(Wikileaks) to vouch for a proper source. I'm sure somewhere Elvis is still alive in one of those documents. He's being kept in safe place guarded by Bigfoot.

    Get it wrong and they could quite easily cause a run and bring down a bank. That'd be unlikely to cause deaths but could very easily cause personal and corporate bankruptcies.

  Maximizing publicity is important, if you actually want to enact positive change as a result of what is being revealed. If everything was released at once there wouldn't be any focused attention and easier for those effected to try and deflect attention. It's also an interesting way to put all banks on notice for their behaviors, as unless they know more than us they would all consider it's possible that their documents have been leaked.
