The collaborative fundraising project between NFT artist Pak and Julian Assange called Censored raked in almost $54 million in crypto.
After facing threats to be extradited to the US and put behind bars for a very long time, Julian’s fight against the authorities will be supported by the funds gathered through the AssangeDAO project.
