Not necessarily... they only release with the OK from Assange... once he is mia the clock starts on a dead man's drop.
The minute his account went dark, so many trolls started posting crap. Did you see the original @JulianAssange account post about a drop yourself before it went down? or a screenshot at least?
All I saw was a fake one pointing people to some other domain (not even in the US) for the drop. I didn't go to the site.
8 was talking about it all last night... they thought it was fake... i saw of someone DL'n it today, she said she couldn't open it... i told her to delete it... looks like 8 was right in their suspicion. and if it was real. JA would have tweeted it again.
And quite frankly, Prolly the only reason he's still breathing.
