Because he was worried about the US finding some flimsy justification to extradite him (an Australian citizen) and prosecute him locally. Fears which, apparently, were justified.
- Iv 7y agoAnd I must say, it is bitter to have been called paranoid for years for saying US would extradite him. Or for talking about ECHELON for years and see it go from "you are crazy" to "everyone knows every country does that" after Snowden.

Julian Assange literally attacked American soverignity and arguably was a key factor in delivering the American Presidency to Russia. At this point, I hope he get's Epstein'd.
