This was a copy-paste error from another filing.
Somehow it seems everyone is missing this fact in their armchair analysis.

- dragonwriter 8y agoIf it was a copy-paste error from another filing, that means that there is another filing (sealed, as no previous public filing has) which relates to charges against Assange. Either way, the same basic information is revealed by the error; the only way a copy-paste error changes the basic import is if it's from a dummy document, but then you have to believe the Justice Department uses “Julian Assange” as the name of the generic defendant in dummy documents.
- rando444 8y agoCorrect. At the time that I posted this 100% of the initial 20+ comments were under the impression that this particular indictment was related to Assange.
