š„š„Julian Assange's brother: Crypto saved us
Important statements came from his brother regarding #JulianAssange , who was released as a result of an agreement with the US Department of Justice on Wednesday and returned to Australia after many years. "If AssangeDAO had raised this much money, Julian would probably be released today," Gabriel Shipton said in an interview.
While the release of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, made headlines in the world media, Gabriel Shipton, Assange's brother, spoke to Decrypt from the #US media.
āCrypto aid could not be releasedā
Gabriel Shipton, who stated in his written interview that the crypto aid coming to AssangeDAO saved his brother, used the following statements:
āIf the AssangeDAO system had not provided so much help and supported us, Julian would definitely be released today. In short, crypto saved our lives.
The aid that was not provided in 2022 was actually a big surprise for us. We have ensured that we strengthen our fight in our legal case. They thought they would win the war by keeping Julian penniless. They even left his family penniless. Thanks to this money, I went to Washington and defended my brother in Congress. āI couldn't make any of these DAO contributions.ā
AssangeDAO, which was established to support Julian Assange's legal defense, started collecting in early 2022 and obtained more than 17 thousand Ether.
The establishment of AssangeDAO and the funds it collected clearly demonstrated how effective such decentralized organizations can be and how they can attract large audiences at a recorded time.
8 more #BTC arrived
As you may remember, after Assange's release, 8 Bitcoins worth approximately 500 thousand dollars were sent to Assange in an unknown transfer.
