why would the IMF be giving Ecuador billions just before the arrest was announced?  Ecuador has been pursuing IMF loans since at least 2018.  They previously relied on high oil prices and when they fell, their economy suffered, so they borrowed billions from China.  These loans and others are a way of getting out of debt to China.  and in turn undermine the whole DNC and SR case....  There is no DNC/SR case and Assange knows this better than anyone.
