Why is Assange so important for the company Wikileaks to operate? Microsoft is doing fine without Gates, and Apple is ok without Jobs, and countless others are fine too right?
Ford and Disney and Goldman Sachs etc are bigger than ever
I understand he is a driving force and important, but If something bad happened to him couldn't the company go on without his work?
I understand all those are very important for their respective companies, but are they not capable of operating without their founders, maybe for better or worse but they are still able to function right?

Exactly. As the public and really only face of the place any trust in it would be gone if it was found he was replaced and nobody was told.

Bullshit fear mongering. Shills WANT you to think he's dead because it makes the powers that be seem invulnerable.

Most likely his connections and trusted name in the world on leaks.

Secrets.
As the number of individuals with access to secrets increases, so does the probability of keeping those secrets decrease.

I just assumed it's because there's not a long list of talent wanting to be on every Government's shit list...
