An 8.07 BTC ($496,000) donation nearly covered a $520,000 emergency appeal for Julian Assange’s jet and recovery costs.
A single 8.07 BTC donation late Tuesday nearly covered a full $520,000 emergency appeal goal for Julian Assange’s jet and recovery costs within hours of it going live.
“Assange will therefore arrive in Australia debt free thanks in large part to the generosity of a single Bitcoin whale,” Altana Digital Currency Fund CIO Alistair Milne posted on X.The emergency appeal was put out by the Free Assange campaign and his wife Stella Assange on Tuesday morning after the WikiLeaks founder boarded flight VJ199 to the remote Pacific island of Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S.
Assange pleaded guilty to a single charge in a courtroom on the island on Wednesday, Bloomberg reported, and was given a 62-month time-served sentence on account of the time he had already spent in prison. In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice brought multiple charges against the WikiLeaks founder, under the U.S. Espionage Act. If he was found guilty of these charges, the total maximum sentence he could face theoretically exceeded 170 years.
The judge reportedly said another significant fact was that the U.S. government indicated that there was no personal victim and the dissemination of information did not result in any physical injury.
