This may be a really, really dumb question... I don't know the laws possibly preventing this and how shady it could actually be, but is there a possible way to set up an intermediary payment system? Whereas one could accept easy payments and then do the work of transforming those into checks or whatnot and sending them to Wikileaks?
- zobzu 15y agoyou need a bank to store the money, if its not physical money no bank wants of wikileaks or to handle their transactions and yes, banks control the world, they don't like something, they kill it. simple and easy apparently.
- deanproxy 15y agoDefinitely... but I'm wondering about doing it anonymously. So basically find some way that people could donate to a specific person or business, then have that entity make money orders and send them off directly to wikileaks? I'm guessing there are laws in place to prevent such a thing... It seems too much like money laundering. :)
- hohead 15y agoFYI, they accept Bitcoin donations (which are fairly anonymous) at this address: 1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v You can learn more here: https://shop.wikileaks.org/donate https://shop.wikileaks.org/donate
- mahyarm 15y agoMost banks and financial systems around the world are so closely integrated with governments that they might as well be pseudo-governmental institutions.
- must_learn_more 15y agoThis may be a really, really dumb question...but can't we all put our tech heads together to hack a way out of this problem for WikiLeaks? Just for fun could anybody dream up a good hack? If you were super passionate about this, what would you do?
