Please post substantial evidence that Assange has conned or defrauded anyone. Wikileaks has a 100% track record.


No matter how many of Assange's lies I enumerate, his fans just brush them off since they don't want to see the truth about Assange - he's simpler when he's a good guy rather than an abusive narcissist. But google 'assange deceit' and related and you'll find plenty. Wikileaks has been working through cutouts with Russian intelligence for a while so the track record is pretty problematic. https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/09/09/wikileaks-hi...


Russian connection is conspiracy theory and there's no evidence. Go Google "flat Earth" and you'll find a lot of results too


I've investigated the evidence quite carefully. The article I linked to refers to some very damning evidence for one case.

The Mueller investigation found solid evidence of WL forwarding DNC docs collected by Russian intelligence, and at this point security researcher expert consensus is that Russia was the perp and WL the front.

Wikileaks biases also show in who they target and what they ignore. They've repeatedly downplayed leaks that are damaging to the Kremlin.


There is zero evidence that the DNC docs were collected by Russian intelligence other than a private firm that Hillary paid (huge conflict of interest), and even then the "evidence" released was pathetic and about as thoughtful as "well this guy that robbed the liquor store was driving a Toyota so clearly he was Japanese".

There is no evidence Wikileaks has ignored anything out of bias. Please stop spreading fake news.


Mueller's indictments list a stream of evidence from leased VPNs in the US that the GRU was using with images from their servers made available to the Feds. You've been lied to. There's copious, rock solid evidence. The single piece counter-evidence (which fooled Binney) re transfer speeds/times was later shown to have been faked and originated in Russia.

You're not familiar with it, but it is there. Also CrowdStrike was not the only independent InfoSec firm involved in the analysis. The DCCC et al were also hacked by the GRU. SecureWorks & others attributed those other attacks. You should look into the real world information and expert opinion - you're spreading Flat Earther-class propaganda mostly fed to you by an intelligence agency.
