No they don't. Guess where most American Corporations keep their money? If Sweden bent over for the US, we would've had all that money by now.
[QUOTE=VengfulSoldier;36132249]Its the way he presents himself, I've seen him on several interviews and the only feeling I get is that he's got his head stuck up his ass.

[QUOTE=Bobie;36132423]so you like what he does but you don't like the way he [i]presents himself?[/i] how disturbingly shallow.[/QUOTE] I like what the people who actually do the work do. I don't like they're figurehead. Its like saying I like my government but I don't like my president.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;36132198]I thought the crime would for one be seen as a crime in the UK as well, and the minimum and maximum prison sentences had to be more or less on par, guess I was wrong then.[/QUOTE] [quote=Wikipedia]Controversy surrounds the US-UK extradition treaty of 2003 which was implemented in this act. It has been claimed to be one-sided because it allows the US to extradite UK citizens and others for offences committed against US law, even though the alleged offence may have been committed in the UK by a person living and working in the UK (see for example the NatWest Three), and there being no reciprocal right; and issues about the level of proof required being less to extradite from the UK to the US rather than vice-versa. Among other provisions Part 2 of the Act: Extradition to category 2 territories (non-European Arrest warrant territories) removed the requirement on the USA to provide prima facie evidence in extraditions from the UK, requiring instead only reasonable suspicion. This was necessary to redress the previous imbalance against the USA under the 1870 Act, as the UK did not have to provide the more onerous prima facie evidence to extradite from the USA. The requirement for the UK is to show probable cause.[/quote] Literally just has to be reasonable suspicion. In theory the extradition act is supposed to prevent the transfer of political prisoners or people expected to be sentenced to death, but in the case of the US how strictly the political prisoner thing is followed I don't know.

[QUOTE=Fear_Fox;36133117]Switzerland?[/QUOTE] Swiss is personal accounts.
[QUOTE=VengfulSoldier;36133216]Swiss is personal accounts.[/QUOTE] And why would they keep their money in Sweden with all our taxes?
what ever happened to that insurance file
[QUOTE=Fear_Fox;36133315]And why would they keep their money in Sweden with all our taxes?[/QUOTE] Swiss is a demonym for Switzerland, not Sweden.
[QUOTE=Kopimi;36129462]god i know what a twat revealing information hidden from the public regarding backroom deals, foreign policy and the deaths of civilians overseas fuck that dude[/QUOTE] It's not that it's the cult of personality he's aquired. He seems to think of himself as some sort of Demi-God.
[QUOTE=Fear_Fox;36133315]And why would they keep their money in Sweden with all our taxes?[/QUOTE] Because A.Foreign bank accounts they can actually trust and B.You're taxes are lower than ours.
I'd hate to be friends with Assange. Wouldn't be able to tell him fuck all. [editline]31st May 2012[/editline] That's the problem, his cause is all 'noble' and whatnot, but his life revolves around revealing secrets, I don't see how anyone could/would trust him. [editline]31st May 2012[/editline] Trust him with a secret that is, not trust in the sense of honesty.
[QUOTE=MrTwicks;36133334]what ever happened to that insurance file[/QUOTE] The torrent is still floating around (and probably will do forever). I don't think this is a situation where he is going to reveal the pass-phrase. Even if he does get sent to Sweden, charged, tried and found guilty its not like he would go away for [I]that[/I] long.
Good. That means the system is working, thus far. If he doesn't get a fair trial here in Sweden, that's when I'm gonna get fucking worried.
[QUOTE=VengfulSoldier;36135900]Because A.Foreign bank accounts they can actually trust and B.[B]You're taxes are lower than ours[/B].[/QUOTE] You sure about that? I'd not be surprised if Sweden is one of the countries that has the highest and most taxes. We pay taxes on literally everything. And for example my dad has to pay around 50% of his income in taxes. I also know a lot of companies that moves out of Sweden because they will both get cheaper workforce and avoid taxes.

I think assange is a terrible person, but I hope this whole rape thing isn't some staged shit by people wanting to easily put him behind bars.
[QUOTE=Red scout?;36139607]I think assange is a terrible person, but I hope this whole rape thing isn't some staged shit by people wanting to easily put him behind bars.[/QUOTE] It's staged as fuck, the Swedish government is basically a proxy for the USA at this point.
[QUOTE=smeismastger;36139849]It's staged as fuck, the Swedish government is basically a proxy for the USA at this point.[/QUOTE] Except they're not - as has been pointed out several times, if the US wanted to extradite him thry would have done so from the UK, as it would be easier for them (they require less evidence than that would necessary to arrest someone in the US).
