Most of his legal funds were actually in BTC. I wonder if the transaction came from that wallet. I suspect it was.

Wild as well, that they made him pay for his own flight to US court, and they charged that amount.

Would be weird to put out an appeal for donations and then pay yourself from your own wallet. He also has had plenty of non-BTC funds via various non-profits that funded legal defense though idk what their status is after 10+ years of legal defense.

Sorry, I was not aware about the appeal for donations, I just wanted to point out that a lot of his legal funds were donated as BTC.
