tdcbfdct3 | 6 years ago | on: New Evidence Suggests Satoshi Nakamoto Is Paul Le Roux

> Both Le Roux and Satoshi did significant cryptography projects

The article says (emphasis mine):

"Le Roux is highly suspected to have been a part of a team of anonymous developers called the “TrueCrypt Team.”"

It also gives the fact that Le Roux has been in jail since 2012 as a possible explanation for why Satisfied Satoshi's Bitcoin fortune has gone untouched, but doesn't attempt to reconcile that with why he was able to make a forum post two years later: https://www.cnbc.com/2014/03/07/real-bitcoin-creator-i-am-no...

tdcbfdct3 | 6 years ago | on: Sweden reopens Assange rape investigation, to seek extradition

Who's politicized the rape charges other than Assange himself continuously calling them a government conspiracy against him?

The Swedish government doesn't discuss them (which is what's allowed Assange's version of events to get so popular). The US hasn't mentioned it. The UK gave him a fair trial based on them.

The prosecutor dropped the case because the alleged rape victim didn't want to press charges, because she was overwhelmed in the immediate aftermath. Then she hired a lawyer to advocate for her who got the charges re-opened.

The other woman, who alleged lesser offenses, never dropped charges, though the statute of limitations have since expired on them.

Assange was told early on in the investigation that he was not restricted from traveling, but as the investigation developed further and it became clear they wanted to prosecute him, he went missing.

After multiple failed attempts to schedule another police interview, the prosecutor told his attorney she'd be filing an arrest warrant that day. Five hours later, Assange arrived at the airport and bought the next available ticket to Berlin.

Assange claims that's just a coincidence. That he was avoiding contact with his lawyer because he was afraid of "threatening statements made by politicians in the U.S"

> claiming his condom fell off and he didn't stop having sex with them.

One woman claims he intentionally tore a condom. That was a lesser charge whose statute of limitations expired a while ago.

The other claims that, after insisting reportedly they use a condom, he waited for her to fall asleep and then started having unprotected see with her -- something he knew she would not consent to. That's the rape charge.

> Then a couple months later, based on no additional information, they reopened the investigation.

The alleged rape victim was initially overwhelmed (not uncommon for a rape victim) and didn't want to press charges. A few days (not months) later, she hired an attorney to represent her who got the case reopened.

Almost all the information the public knows about the case has come directly from Assange (and thus supports his conspiracy theory explanation), since the Swedish protecting authority doesn't comment on pending cases.

I know that's Assange's line, but that's basically just how all TV is made. Nobody would claim Saturday Night Live isn't an NBC show because it's actually produced by Broadway Video.

RT's logo has a producer's credit in his show's credits. It's an RT show.

Wikileaks isn't a news organization. They don't do reporting. They are a publisher, which still has first amendment protections.
