$782k for a chartered flight?!?!which bf poster paid the bitcoin amount?
A transaction recorded on mempool.space – a software website used to visualise data about the Bitcoin ecosystem – shows one user donated 8.07173122 BTC to Assange’s link, which converts to $739,789.
Assange’s wife, lawyer Stella Assange, told Reuters on Wednesday that this week’s chartered flights cost $782,334.
Assange’s team has also raised $793,456 via Crowdfunder and $20,384 via GoFundMe, meaning his campaign has surpassed the cost of the jet hire.
The Free Assange website states that Assange is in “dire need of recovery” and the leftover funds will be used to ensure his “recovery and well-being and safety”.
