In your hypothetical, things would have been different if the employees received equity compensation with voting shares (in exchange for reduced cash compensation). It’s weird how complains about greed only cut one way.
Wikileaks is a far-right organization that orchestrated to raise Donald Trump’s political profile by attacking Hillary Clinton. Julian Assange is a criminal and deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Then why are you complaining about it?
