Which could explain why they waited just over one year after cutting his internet access to arrest him: if after one year still nothing happened, it's pretty much safe assuming he doesn't have a working dead mans switch (anymore).
If true, this could also mean they were in agreements with the Ecuador govt. to arrest him a long time ago.
- ddalex 8y agoA dead man's switch is not necessarily based on a timeout when your internet connection is not guaranteed. If the leak is nuclear level - e.g irrefutable proof that the ruling class ARE reptilians - you want to keep that unreleased for as long as you can. I can imagine a bot somewhere scanning top 10 international newspapers daily and looking for the words 'Assange' and 'dead' before the countdown begins.
