đWikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is out of the slammer! After 5 years in a UK prison, he's been granted bail and has left the UK.
đšââïžThanks to a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department, he won't be extradited. Assange agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to obtain and disclose U.S. national defense info. Looks like he'll be credited for time served.
đïž Assange's saga started in 2010 when he published classified U.S. military docs about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. When PayPal closed WikiLeaks' account, Assange turned to Bitcoin for fundraising.
đEnter AssangeDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization aimed at securing Assange's freedom. They raised millions in ether from thousands of users.
đ Assange's freedom is our freedom, says WikiLeaks. As he heads back to Australia, let's celebrate this win for press freedom. What are your thoughts? #AssangeFree #WikiLeaks #DAO #DeFi
