Assange had surrendered in December of 2010 to United Kingdom authorities on an arrest warrant issued by a Swedish prosecutor.

Within hours, he was at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where a judge promptly found him guilty of failing to surrender to his bail. We may still be hacks, but we’re better than hackers.
