Wikileaks? Yeah, it actually is. Try picking an organization that didn't participate in criminal activity in 2016 and isn't holed up in an Embassy trying to evade arrest.

Neither of those things are true. The question in my mind is, do you know that, or are you just repeating garbled information you've heard elsewhere?

    "Wikileaks" is an organisation, it can't be holed up anywhere. Assange is in the embassy for reasons that are officially speaking unrelated to Wikileaks - unless of course, you agree with him that he's being persecuted for his Wikileaks work via false sexual assault allegations? Whichever it is, if he'd done illegal things presumably there'd be an open case against him for those things but there isn't. Even the sex charges were dropped (they'd have never survived court anyway, hence the paranoia). Now he's simply stuck because of his prior attempts to evade arrest.

No, that's just spending legal money on alleged illegal activity. Laundering is making illegal money look legal, to enable eg an embezzler or a drug cartel to participate in the formal economy.

  Except for the fact that you can conceal the source of the cryptocurrency asset, then the recipient can exchange it for clean money. That's textbook money laundering. Can you tell me how much of Wikileaks' donations come straight from international organized crime? No, and I can't either.

    Resort to bitcoin for WL donations had nothing to do with money laundering. People were cut off from donating by credit card companies and banks disabling WL accounts under pressure from the State Department. It still wasn't illegal to donate to them, and bitcoin donations can be explained without bringing intent to conceal into it.
