On account of remained 1.5 bitcoins, or about 23 thousand dollars.
According to experts, a number of bitcoin wallets has received a significant amount from the main wallet of WikiLeaks – 1500 bitcoins, or more than $ 25 million at the current exchange rate of the cryptocurrency.
Experts added that there’s about a dozen svjatnyj accounts, which store about 60 bitcoins, there are over 700 thousand dollars.
It is likely that WikiLeaks had not transferred their bitcoins to someone, and just sent them to another account. But Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, this situation is not commented.
As the newspaper notes, the lack of information about how these funds are being used, raises questions about the transparency of the organization in terms of their own finances.
