Ethereum holders have pooled their funds to prevent the Wikileaks founder’s extradition to the United States.
This officially makes it the largest Juicebox Ethereum fundraiser in history,the “ConstitutionDAO” it was partly inspired by. The latter was created to purchase an original copy of the United States constitution, raising 11,613 ETH since inception.
Those who contribute to the AssangeDAO are awarded the JUSTICE governance token, which gives them power over the future direction of the DAO. The plan is to use the money raised to bid on an NFT collection made by artist “Pak” in collaboration with Assange, titled “Censored.” It is set to be auctioned later today.On December 10th, the United States won an appeal of a British court ruling that prevented Assange’s extradition to America. The AssangeDAO began to assemble on Telegram the same day.
“If extradited to the United States, Assange faces 175 years in prison for publishing truthful information,” reads the site. Assange became a figure of international attention after publishing leaked information through Wikileaks from US Army Intelligence Analyst. He then began hiding from the US under asylum status at London’s Ecuadorian Embassy but was ejected from it after seven years. He has now been held in London’s Belmarsh prison for three years and has become an icon of free speech across the globe.
Naturally, the censorship-resistant nature of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has resonated well with the Assange family. Julian’s half-brother Gabriel Shipton joined the AssangeDAO’s Telegram group and even spoke at last year’s Bitcoin Conference in Miami.
