The Wikileaks founder is expected to plead guilty to one U.S. charge and be sentenced for time served in a U.K. prison.

Julian Assange was freed from a London prison on Monday after more than five years and will not be extradited to the United States after agreeing to a plea deal with authorities.

The WikiLeaks founder agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to obtain and disclose U.S. national defense information, Reuters reported on June 24 citing U.S. prosecutors filings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands.

In return, he is likely to be sentenced to 5 years, 3 months time served — which he’s spent in London’s Belmarsh Prison since being jailed there in April 2019.

Wikipedia co-founder says Bitcoin doesn’t work, BTC community snaps back

December 13, 2023 Coin Telegraph

Banks

BTC proponents argued to Jimmy Wales that banks might work, but they’re not available to everyone and that storing BTC personally and storing fiat via banks are two different things.

Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales took to X (formerly Twitter) on Dec. 11 to take a shot at Bitcoin (BTC), bragging that while many users have lost their Bitcoin because they forgot their wallet passwords, he’s never lost any money due to losing his bank password.

Wales’ comments didn’t resonate well with the wider Bitcoin and crypto community, who snapped back at the Wikipedia co-founder about its dependence on donations to run day-to-day operations.

In his X post, Wales sarcastically claimed that he forgot the password to his bank account and lost all his cash, only to then mock the BTC community by adding, “No, actually, that didn’t happen because banks work and Bitcoin doesn’t.”
