Personally, I'm happy to place my bets re- the movie on John Pilger's side.

Re- the money, Wikileaks is still operating, despite its near-total financial strangulation via the probably-illegal financial blockade being administered by the big banks, which have refused to process millions in donations to the organization. Both Assange and Wikileaks have to be utterly desperate for cash; so any implication that Assange's request for compensation evinces mere greed seems, to me, dunderheaded at best.
