ok.
Now, I'd die a happy person if I never have to hear about him or from any of his countless sycophants ever again. Thanks.

So, I guess some art is saved¹ in this event

$45M [of] Masterpieces Risk for Assange's Freedom: An artist threatens to destroy $45 million worth of masterpieces, including works by Picasso and Warhol, if WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange dies in prison, spotlighting the clash between art and activism.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out - really feels like it’s been in a holding pattern for 5+ years.
what do you mean? It just did play out. That's the end.
Do you think Assange is safe from assassination?
Do you think Assange has been tamed and will now live a quiet life going walkabout in the outback?
They would've assassinated him already.
Yes I think this has broken him. Quiet life in the burbs with the occasional phone interview on someone's podcast.
They would've assassinated him already.
After Epstein? If he survives the first year without incident, then he's safe.
Everything’s a conspiracy, even if it hasn’t happened yet.
As in, will the USA be still after him? What role will he play in the public sphere now that he is free?
Etc.
No and none.
He just walked out of a US district court. If they were going to grab him they would have.
He rolled the dice on being the world's most well known "journalist" and he lost in the most spectacular way. He's so incredibly lucky he got off as lightly as he did, having only lost 12 years of his life.
Unimportant, and probably unintelligent, question - does he have enough assets to go on with life or does he have to look for a job now? Does some easy position just get handed to him on name alone?
Russia has his back, the US has an election coming up and it won't meddle itself.
He has his name, that is his brand and he will probably use it to make bank as a public speaker
