Julian Assange is Kind of a Big Jerk – Report
Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili, Weird News
Julian Assange has become one of the most feared men amongst the governments of the world, thanks to his leadership of whistleblowing Website, Wikileaks.org. And if a new book from German I.T. worker, Daniel Domscheit-Berg is to be believed, he’s also kind of a giant jerk.
Domscheit-Berg became a colleague, friend, and roommate with Assange, and now he’s got some less than kind things to say about the Australian hacker-turned-activist in his book, Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World’s Most Dangerous Website, due out today on Crown Publishers. The piece contains such revelations as, “In early 2010 his tone toward me changed radically. ‘If you f*** up, I’ll hunt you down and kill you,’ he once told me.”
Oh, and,
The absurd thing was that he was the one who was continually losing or forgetting things. And that was precisely what he was accusing me of. If Julian messed something up, on the other hand, something else was usually the reason. He always had an elaborate explanation, sometimes one that cast him as the hero.
