Well then
co-founder of transparency activism organization Distributed of Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) was a dark web drug kingpin who ran the successor to the infamous Silk Road marketplace and was later convicted of child abuse imagery crimes - Thomas White, who was prosecuted for administering the Silk Road 2.0 drug marketplace and for possessing images of child sexual abuse material. He decided to reveal his involvement in DDoSecrets to 404 Media after serving a five year prison sentence
I was told, in no uncertain terms, that if I spoke out publicly against Ross Ulbricht's excessive sentence, [DDoSecrets] or anything similar, that I would spend much more time in prison," he said. "Now I can freely speak again, it is important to use it or lose it. So #FreeRoss."

Over 100 gigabytes of emails, chat logs, and internal documents, including contracts and financial information, documenting the history of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks between 1992 and 2024.
Hmmm...would be very interested to see what kind of communication took place in between Assange/WL and Russian FSB and IRA/ Glavset operatives especially in regard to the DNC and Hillary/Podesta smear campaign, not to mention what connections and coordination can now be definitively proven with the Trump campaign and that might have been ongoing 2015 to 2024.
If there's communication in there with WL as a middle-man...
@TheAbbotTrithemius there is a heck of a lot of data but
"While approximately 90% of the data is being made available to the public, the remainder (including many emails and chat logs) is only being provided to journalists and researchers"
So, WL & middle man communications are not for public consumption I'm afraid if they are there
