> the people who paid bail for Assange in the UK only to have him skip bail got refunded

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/oct/08/julian-assange...

They tried to not pay, given that for some it was a substantial portion of their life savings, but obviously they didnt have any real case to avoid it. I would hope wikileaks repayed them but I highly doubt they did.

Some ardent supporters from that era have little nice to say about Assange - including those that paid significant bail provided huge amounts of assistance.

Extremely unambiguous scammy behavior, there.
