    I wasn’t expecting this many downvotes. How come? Was it the sexual assault allegations? I have a feeling it was the sexual assault allegations.

      It’s the fact that he’s a Putin stooge and an information terrorist. He has all the secrets, everyone’s, but only releases those that help his and his benefactors political views, and withholding secrets that hurt his side, essentially turning secrets into a weapon. I believe a bond villain literally did that.

      I have no sympathy for this guy. He’s not a whistle blower or noble believer of truth. He is a self interested, selfish, rich old fuck, just like the rest of them.

      I believe his wealth is somewhere in the 100 million mark still, how did he get that while other whistle blowers got nothing and just went straight to jail?

        So I checked the top 3 websites and they all give wildly different net worth figures for assange, with none of them citing sources.

        The best example I found of him being a rich person that is verifiable is this:

        In 2010, Assange received a deal for his autobiography worth at least US$1.3 million.

        He’s not a sympathetic character and he appears to have something bordering on a messiah complex. At the same time I think the vindictive use of the courts and the expense spent on pursuing him have been bad form by the USA/UK.

        The actual “hacking” charge they are trying to stick on him is extremely tenuous and sets a bad precedent. Most recently Biden has been considering a request from Australia to allow him to be released to them.

        and you’re a lying sack of shit.

        He has all the secrets, everyone’s,

        how the fuck would he have “everyone’s secrets”?!!!

        but only releases those that help his and his benefactors political views, and withholding secrets that hurt his side,

        no, they only release those that they have and that they can verify

          I love how you just have no clue what he did but you’re really mad he’s being punished.

          Almost like you’re the one full of shit.

          Insults are the mind’s way of rejecting the hurtful reality that you’re wrong

        Don’t forget, any info you don’t believe is just government propaganda! Just like vaccines, the moon landing, and the spherical nature of the planet!
