When Assange was still in his 20s, he hacked into several USA corporate and federal computer systems.

Those used to be the USA charges against him, but new charges may have been added, and old charges subtracted, since then.
Purposely arrested to try and turn thecorner on the 4th of July stolen lands tweet.
