Who has ever denied that he'd be arrested? To say that he'd definitely be extradited is speculation.
It's still not at all clear that he will be prosecuted by the US, so I can't see anything particularly silly about someone predicting in 2013 -- before the Russian links were widely known -- that Assange would not be prosecuted by the US.
The New American does not appear to be a serious publication. No doubt you can find people on the internet who've said silly things on all kinds of topics.
