What happened to the $50,000 that was supposed to pay for half of PFC Manning's defense?

#9  Err, I wasn't paying attention and think I just accidentally stepped into the wrong room.

Heh heh.

#8  Sure, its like the 80's, dudes with bangs and eyeliner, had just enough femme to appeal to the women. Same way a woman with a little tomboy quality or athletic ability is deeply comforting to a guy.

#7  Tellin' the truth Cyber Sarge, I lost $5 when his dating page was released; knew guys back in the day who made asshead look like conan who spent weekends alone only if they wanted to simply because of that feature. I'd had called it reverse sexual role playing but if I did the gal would have tried to beat the crap out of me.

#5  He was living the Liberal Dream: lots of money, a means to attack "the man", and plenty of lefty chicks ready fling leg at will it seems. I am not a good judge of male beauty but are pasty-white effeminate men what women want?

#4  Mr. Assange's bank accounts were blocked, to encourage him to give up life on the run. Just now he seems to be living on the generosity of friends. Possibly, that's why the transfer hasn't happened.

Or it could be that Mr. Assange takes a statistical approach to those impacted by his revelations -- omelets and broken eggs and all.

#3  Since the money was intended for Bradley Manning's defense, I would actually prefer that Assange had stolen it.

#2  Also, how is he paying for his current lifestyle?

#1  The oldest answer in the book...
Follow the money.
