Julian Assange (Julian Assange), the founder of the well-known Wikileaks (Wikileaks), was wanted for leaking the US government scandal.

The Mystery of Assanges Identity
When Assange was arrested in 2019, most members of the Bitcoin community were willing to donate money to show their support. According to Cobra, the owner of the Bitcoin.org website, this may be a kind of debt of favor; because when Bitcoin was still unknown, Assange expressed his support and used Bitcoin as the main fundraising The means, to some extent, is that WikiLeaks first brought Bitcoin into the public eye.

The DAO developed an initial governance model. First, community members will share draft proposals in the forum for community discussion. There will then be an initial review (whether to initiate a vote) with a review team consisting of: Jen Robinson (Julian Assanges lawyer), Gabriel Shipton (Julian Assanges brother) and Stella Moris (Julian Assanges fiancée) and our community moderators .

Community NFT
AssangeDao and Pak jointly launched the NFT work Censored, which consists of two parts: the unique NFT Clock and the open NFT (X/X).
At the same time, another part of the open NFT (X/X) is minted by community members. The time limit is 48 hours, and the number is not limited. After 48 hours, the casting channel will be closed. A wallet address is limited to one NFT. Users need to spend 0.1 ETH to enter letters or spaces to generate NFT. When each NFT is generated, there will be a picture of letters being crossed out, which reflects the theme of Pak’s design of NFT—Censored. Censored has 29,752 works minted on Opensea; but the NFT can only be truly owned by users when Assange is released.

Why was financing not carried out according to the financing plan?
McKenna, one of the official team, explained in the discord group: because he didn’t understand the rules of the Juicebox contract, he thought that the financing cycle could be extended. However, during the financing process, it was found that this was not the case. During the first financing process , AssangeDaos popularity and the teams goal of fundraising have not yet been achieved, so the second round of financing was launched, and the team also stated that there will be no third round; currently AssangeDaos financing activities have ended, and a total of 17,423 ETHs have been raised , and quickly surpassed ConstitutionDAO, which originally ranked first among Juicebox platform projects, in a short period of time.

Where will the funds go after the auction?
After the auction ended on the night of February 9, a new round of controversy started in the Dao community: 5% of the funds raised by AssangeDao were used to pay the JuiceBox platform handling fee, and the remaining 95% was used to auction NFT. The auction price was 16593.05 ETH, breaking through The record of the most expensive NFT price in history; it is not so much an auction as a buyout price, which is also intentional by the team. Assanges younger brother directly expressed the hope that NFT could be auctioned with the maximum funds to obtain defense fees for Assange. Why did the AssangeDao team bother to rescue Assange by auctioning NFT?
AssangeDaos exit from the circle is undoubtedly a familiar confrontation and game between negative and positive.
Its series of suspicious fund-raising behaviors undoubtedly caused panic and suspicion among some investors.
On the other hand, some people in the circle believe that the AssangeDao team is definitely not right to use such a huge amount of money only as a lawyers defense fee. The German foundation it cooperates with has a deep relationship with the Assange family. In addition to supporting lawyers defense fees, the funds raised are likely to be used to promote WikiLeaks, re-operate its media organizations, and increase its organizations communication efforts to use public opinion to contend with the US government. The huge potential contained in this will undoubtedly help the long-term development of AssangeDao.
Some people even firmly believe that the support of V God for AssangeDao is enough to make people flock to it.

Although AssangeDAO’s fundraising period on JuiceBox has ended, we still want to remind you that sending money to AssangeDAO is a donation and cannot be viewed as an investment.
And judging from the background and performance of the project party and the community atmosphere, the risk of participation is quite high:
It is rumored on the Internet that JB87, the community founder of AssangeDAO, is fluent in Chinese but average in English; and after JB87 released the announcement of the end of the NFT auction and the receipt of JUSTICE tokens, he never responded to community questions in the discord channel;
It is rumored that Pak, the partner, also threatened AssangeDAO that if all funds are not used to auction NFT as agreed, Pak will withdraw NFT (the purpose may be to attract Pak himself);
In the discord channel of AssangeDAO, most people are concerned about whether the price of JUSTICE will break, and very few people care about Assange that this organization wants to rescue;
In addition, the management methods of the administrators against members objections are rough, and many people are kicked out of the community because of the dissatisfaction of the administrators because they raise reasonable doubts.
At present, community members are preparing to initiate a proposal on the official forum, requesting a refund of the 5% handling fee charged by JuiceBox, and requesting the project party to hand over the contract authority.
