There also was another little matter which you will probably aware of, but I will mention it. One group of sympathizers were said to have lost 200,000 pounds bail money, when Assange skipped his appearance in court. What was detailed and substantiated was the second support group that plead before the courts for reduced penalties. Amazing, I did not know this could be done. The 140,000 pounds was reduced to 90,000 pounds.
One person who had his bail money reduced to 12,000 pounds was a Captain Vaughan Smith, who hosted Assange at his luxury estate. I remember one surety moaning on the television, that he had "borrowed the bail money" and was now in debt.
Assange is all about Assange.
V e r y Interesting! Self-Absorbed figures like Assange are unaccustomed to being responsible for little details such as one of their supporters losing most of his life savings. Assange demands that his needs be met, by whatever means. Others are left to mop up the results. If your fortune is lost, Oh Well,,consider it your ‘donation to the righteous cause of rebellion’.
