This is a link post Where do Wikikeaks get their money from and how do they spend it?
Unsurprisingly vague accounts shows an annual deficit of half a million, but no sign of who's funding that regular loss?

Answers on the back of a brown envelope stuffed with fifties please.

Also itemised donation/supporter data: cryptome.org/2012/11/wikileaks/wikileaks-donations.htm

This is a normal post Poorly written report
IHMO

The Iraq dossier on WMD was far better.

This is a normal post I hate to break this to you
but losses are usually so because they aren't funded.

This is a normal post Well, to be fair, they're not exactly keeping it a secret
Second and third links on the Wau Holland Stiftung's page here;

www.wauland.de/files.html

And where did the money come from? Well, look at the accounts for 2010 and you'll see a large surplus, which they seem to just about have spent now, with the net result of about zero.

And your "itemised donations/supporter data" is just a lots of snapshots of their donations page.

So your point was ...?

This is a normal post Oh I can't keep up with this!
Is it cool to hate Wikileaks now, or cool to like them?

Must be getting old, can't keep track of all this stuff!

This is a normal post I don't give a shit about wikileaks
which *probably* means it's cool to like them

This is a normal post you sound as confused as me..
I mean, first everyone was like: 'yeah, Wikileaks is great! stop those nasty right wing govs hiding how many innocent civilians they kill and make them accountable, wooo yeah! stick it to the man!'

Then some sort of critical mass of approval was reached, and suddenly it was like being conformist, and people were like: 'Oh Wikileaks? yeah, I don't toe the line, me, I'm an independant, critical thinker, so I think Wikileaks is a bad thing, putting lives at risk, and it's all about his ego, that Assange guy, and I heard he gets more pussy than I do, so fuck him!'

Same thing as Ricky Gervais, nobody had a bad word to say about the guy 'Oh man, the Office is so true to life, subtly funny, and that whole bittersweet romance thing, its so well written, and they bowed out when at the top', then suddenly its as if the guy had buggered everyone's grandmothers.

Makes my head spin.

This is a normal post Wikileaks used to be a neat idea, and true to its cause.
And then Assange started grandstanding and ruined it.

This is a normal post How are they spending so much money
is it just in server redundancy and so on?

This is a normal post legal bills I'd imagine
lawyers are more expensive than renting a few servers.

There's a career tip kids.

This is a normal post Oh come off it Rob.
You're just angling for a /talk strikethrough in that last sentence.

This is a normal post I assume it gets a massive amount of traffic
and has a weird amount of distribution and redundancy - and probably insane stuff like oil rig server farms or anything which is considered international waters and so on.

But you are probably correct. It is probably all money towards defending wozizname, and dealing with lawerly crap...

I used to date a lawyer, and they change after they do the soul transfer.

AVOID
