James Dolan, Co-Creator of SecureDrop, Dead At 36 (gizmodo.com)
The Freedom of the Press Foundation is reporting that James Dolan, former Marine and co-creator of the whistleblower submission system SecureDrop alongside Aaron Swartz and Wired editor Kevin Poulsen, has died at age 36. He reportedly took his own life. Gizmodo reports: First deployed as StrongBox with The New Yorker, organizations such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Associated Press, and Gizmodo Media Group have all come to rely on SecureDrop -- which allows highly secure communication between journalists and sources in possession of sensitive information or documents. As an industry tool, it has become invaluable for reporters. Dolan joined the Freedom of the Press Foundation to maintain SecureDrop after co-creator Aaron Swartz took his life in 2013 at age 26, as pressure mounted in a federal investigation against him that many felt was overzealous. Memorial services have not yet been announced, and presently the circumstances of Dolan's death are not known.

2 bullets to the head, AND he sets himself on fire with gasoline in a DIESEL car beforehand. Locked in the car, no key found. No note, no attempt to make it look good.
This is the guy Prince Harry blames for killing his mom, the super-rich "paparazzi" - the single richest paparazzi in England at the time? - with the old beat up Fiat that he repainted shortly after he crashed into Di's car, then returned to the scene to take pictures of her dying in the back seat. Worked for MI5 and France.
Today a whistleblower died and we all need to fill that role.
Now we know who killed Seth Rich. And maybe even Vince Foster?
Today a whistleblower died and we all need to fill that role.
The reporter who led the charge on the Panama papers was assassinated by a car bomb a few weeks back, most people don't even know that happened. One of Wikileaks offices was raid in a professional style sweep looking for crypto keys and other information. Most people don't know that one happened either.
Om, nomnomnom...
Actually most people who read the news likely knew about it. That story was covered all over the place when it happened.
Just a sampling:

One would have to be fairly ignorant to not have run across it on some news website after it happened.
