WikiLeaks raises $12,000 in Bitcoin for Edward Snowden's defense

Edward Snowden’s defense fund has raised over $12,000 in Bitcoins in two weeks

Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor, left behind a six figure salary and a “very comfortable life” in Hawaii to become the world’s most famous whistleblower. Now that he’s found asylum in Russia and faces espionage charges at home, a legal defense fund launched by WikiLeaks has raised over $16,000 to pay Snowden’s legal fees. 75 percent ($12,740 by current exchange rates) of that money came in the form of Bitcoins raised in just the past two weeks.

Good news for both Snowden and bitcoin. This will encourage other people to become whistleblowers and publish shocking truth about our "rulers". And bictoin will be their save haven.

Good luck Mr Snowden!

I'm much more worried about rights of privacy and freedom of speech though...
