Sadly we don't, and likely never will. Assange mentioned the laptop data and hinted at what it might contain in an interview. We do definitely know that a large cache of data got held hostage and eventually burned when fuckhead left. Like I mentioned before, there was a whole Benedict Cumberbartch movie made about the fallout there: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1837703/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1837703/
- shadowgovt 6y agoI wouldn't take either the word of one of the parties with obvious bias or a dramatization of events that was primarily sourced to the person with obvious bias at face value on a topic this controversial. Proof or it didn't happen.
- Fnoord 6y agoUsing the term 'Dumbshit' or 'fuckhead' doesn't give your argument credibility.
- px43 6y agoI'm not arguing anything, I'm recounting historical events. I don't need to beg for credibility, everything I'm saying is thoroughly documented on Wikipedia and various other sources. Daniel portrays himself as a hero in the book he wrote and in the movie he helped make, but he has been ostracized from the hacker community due to the atrocity of his actions. Read his book, watch his movie. It's fascinating to see his perspective on how it all went down, but a lot of very bad people got away with some very bad things because of his actions, so forgive me for allowing a bit of contempt to seep through.
