sure, then who is it, and what have they done so far? Perhaps start a section on the forum, where we can organize the case law.
Barry Pollack is the US legal rep.
Can you add another thread then. Not on this thread.
This demonstrates that he has been sitting on his ass for 3 years and not doing anything. It really makes me wonder why he hasn’t filed a pretrial writ of habeas corpus, and just let Julian rot in Belmarsh prison this entire time.
This does not satisfy my demand that we hire an independent counsel AS A DAO, as a DAO we can hire the attorney to write such a petition on our behalf, and moreover to put the DAO into legal compliance, and act in the best interests of the investors.
You repeated your idea already xx times on this forum and people don’t involve. Are you sure, that Julian’s Lawyers didn’t already consider your plan if you are so confident that it could free Julian?
Sorry for the double-post, but your comment belongs somewhere else (maybe here? White knight in shining armor); but idk what it even means, let alone what evidence you might have for it.
Correction: Only some complaints are financial. Many want to move forward 1st with advancing the value of the DAO, and many want to move forward 1st with more direct actions to free Assange.
Barry Pollack has been Julian Assange’s U.S. lawyer since 2013. In November 2017, in an unrelated case, Pollack filed a federal habeas petition in Washington D.C. district court on behalf of Brig. Gen. John Baker, who had been held in contempt and ordered confined.
Obviously Mr. Pollack has first-hand experience with this procedure. It may be that because Assange is not incarcerated in the U.S., it is Pollack’s considered professional opinion that a federal habeas petition would be dismissed as premature. In any event, AssangeDAO should not second-guess Assange’s choice of legal representation and positively ought not to engage an additional lawyer without Julian’s consent.
Then perhaps they should represent that, but instead they have represented how frivolous the charges against Julian Assange are, which indicated to me that they should have done the habeas corpus.
So your position is “stop asking questions, and stop noticing patterns”?
Moreover, i have said that an independent council should be hired FOR THE DAO, to protect the best interests of the investors of the DAO, in addition to doing this task which should have been done previously.
This is not the case because the united states has tried the shell game of keeping prisoners in Guantanamo bay, in addition to “black sites” in an effort to avoid the US Court jurisdiction, and ultimately the power of the court to issue the writ extends to any circumstance where a person is in the custody or control of the US government even with an agreement with a foreign actor, not where the person is imprisoned.
Moreover, by not attacking the faulty indictment, they may have extended the time that Assange will do in prison, because the United States will eventually appeal, and Julian will stay in prison while these issues are litigated, and its entirely possible that they could have gotten the entire indictment dismissed, due to the representation by Stella that the charges are frivolous.
I’m sure Julian’s lawyers considered somehow what you suggested already… Especially after you mentioned it already xxx times on this forum. ^^
I guess there is a reason why they didn’t do what you suggest because of a certain reason… I don’t question the competence of Julian’s lawyer-team.
Then what is that reason? Maybe you should consider that Julian’s lawyers have previously lied with regard to the promise, that if Obama provided clemency to Bradley Manning, that Julian would turn himself over for extradition to the United States.
Moreover, you keep ignoring, that I demand an independent counsel FOR THE DAO, to protect the interests of the investors, and put the DAO into legal compliance.
I think neither you or me know the reason.
I didn’t ignore your demand. I just don’t know what to answer you to that. I’m just a regular supporter and want to free Julian. Not more and not less.
That’s not relevant. How do you propose the DAO would make sufficient funds to pay somebody other than the existing US legal team? The DAOs next goal is surely to raise its profile and its treasury funds. Only somebody with complete DAO managerial experience could do this - and be reputable in dealing with the public.
Same. We’re not ignoring it. It has been noted.
Doesn’t the DAO have 199 ETH in its treasury, that is enough for the task.
The DAOs next goal is surely to raise its profile and its treasury funds. Only somebody with complete DAO managerial experience could do this - and be reputable in dealing with the public.
The DAO already had people who was reputable in dealing with the public because they were high profile, and all those people left the DAO already. For example Amir had actually made my initial proposal a draft proposal, which would have been able to enrich the treasury, but once the DAO had voted for the stated mission, upon compulsion by Gabriel Assange, these ideas are no longer possible.
You need to look no further than the analysis by Huobi Research, if you think that my conclusion is “irrational”.
Im not going to bother until you write your own draft proposal, separately. If you think the DAO could fund it - do more research - find out the detail and post it.
This has already been done 3 months ago. This is the draft submitted by Amir.
What do you think about this Draft Proposal?
Rick - ignoring the other issues here, what do you think of the Draft Proposal? Just trying to keep this on topic.
