Donate over 8 Bitcoins! Helping WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange return to Australia

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assangeis finally free after a 14-year legal battle and 1,901 days in jail. An anonymous Bitcoin enthusiast has donated more than 8 Bitcoins, worth approximately $500,000, to help the family of Assange pay off debts he incurred from chartering a flight.

On June 24, Assange was released from a British prison and left the UK on a chartered flight from London Airport to a court in the US territory in the Pacific Northern Mariana Islands, where his plea agreement officially came into effect. Assange’s wife Stella Assange said in an interview that “freedom comes at a price.”

Assange has been ordered to pay $520,000 to the Australian government for being "forced" to charter VJ199flight to the Northern Mariana Islands and Australia. According to CryptoSlate, an anonymous donor transferred 8.07 Bitcoins (approximately $500,000). This Bitcoin donation is the largest donation to the fund, surpassing all other monetary donations combined. In addition, they are also looking for fiat currency donors through the crowdfunding page of FreeJulianAssange, which currently has 9,020 supporters and has raised $410,000.

Assange finally returned to Australia as free and received a hero's welcome. His wife Stella also thanked all the supporters for their help: it takes millions of people, people working behind the scenes, people protesting in the streets. Days, weeks, months and years later, we finally did it!
