助力维基解密创始人Julian Assange重返澳洲!捐赠超8枚比特币

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

On June 24, Assange was released from a British prison and took a charter flight from London Airport to leave the UK and fly to the court in North Mariana Islands, a US territory in the Pacific, where his plea agreement officially came into effect.

Assange’s wife Stella Assange said in an interview, “Freedom comes at a price.” Assange was ordered to pay $520,000 to the Australian government for being "forced" to charter flight VJ199 to the North 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, exceeding all other monetary donations combined.

In addition, they are also looking for fiat currency donors through FreeJulian Assange’s crowdfunding page. Currently, there are 9,020 supporters and $410,000 has been raised.

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