AssangeDAO member: 37 million dollars were spent to save Assange!
AssangeDAO member Silke Noa said that an estimated 11,000 Ether worth $37 million out of 16,593 ETH was spent by AssangeDAO’s The Clock on legal defense and campaigning. Noa explained that the allocation of 16,593 Ethereum (ETH) to free Assange was managed by the Wau Holland Foundation from “Safe.global multisig wallet addresses.” In this context, Noa shared the following:
Presumably there were security reasons in the past that prevented full transparency about the allocation of funds so as not to prejudice Julian’s case. But now is the time for the Wau Holland Foundation to provide a detailed accounting of how the funds were allocated, as I have repeatedly called for.
Julian Assange will appear in court this week
The rise in the altcoin price followed Assange’s flight on Monday to the remote Pacific island of Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI), a US collection in the western Pacific. The Wikileaks founder headed straight to a courtroom on the island. He is expected to plead guilty here on Wednesday to a single charge in a plea agreement that could see him freed and returned to Australia and potentially bring an end to his five-year legal battle. In this regard, Wikileaks made the following statement:
Julian Assange’s flight VJ199 landed in Bangkok a few hours ago: he will soon enter the US airport, where he will appear before a US judge.
Assange accused of violating the US Espionage Act
Assange’s case involves espionage charges against the US government following his publication on Wikileaks of a large cache of documents detailing alleged wartime errors committed by US armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The documents provided to WikiLeaks came through Chelsea Manning, a whistleblower who was serving as a US Army intelligence analyst in Iraq at the time.
In 2019, the US Department of Justice filed multiple charges under the US Espionage Act against the Wikileaks founder. The total maximum sentence he could receive if found guilty on these charges theoretically exceeds 170 years. However, according to WikiLeaks, Assange pleaded guilty to only one of 18 misdemeanors by entering into a plea agreement with the US Department of Justice. If he is convicted on this single charge on Wednesday, he is expected to be sentenced to 62 months in prison. But he will be considered to have served his sentence for the years he spent in a British prison while awaiting charges.
