Title: $22 million USD for Julian Assange Post by: ledu_ico on October 18, 2017, 11:30:36 PM Julian Assange Has Thanked the U.S. Government for Forcing Wikileaks to Invest in Bitcoin During 2010.
On the 14th of October, Julian Assange expressed his “deepest thanks to the US government, Senator McCain and Senator Lieberman for pushing Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, AmEx, Moneybookers, et al, into erecting an illegal banking blockade against @Wikileaks starting in 2010.” Assange stated that the financial embargo “caused [Wikileaks] to invest in Bitcoin,” which has generated the organization a more than “50000% return.” It seems this whole fight with the government generated a huge amount of money for Wikileaks founder. So much to "negative marketing"... |
