According to CryptoSlate, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange received an anonymous donation of more than 8 BTC (about $500,000) to pay for the $500,000 charter flight he needed to return to Australia. After Assange reached a plea agreement with US authorities, his wife Stella launched an emergency fundraising campaign to raise $520,000 for the Australian government's charter flight. An anonymous donor contributed more than 8 bitcoins (about $500,000) in the past day, covering almost all the expenses. Assange is expected to return to Australia after appearing in court in Saipan, marking the end of his more than ten-year legal battle.
