Roger Ver, once hailed as “Bitcoin Jesus” for his early promotion of Bitcoin, is now embroiled in a serious legal battle with the U.S. government. The Department of Justice accuses him of evading roughly $50 million in taxes back in 2017, claiming he intentionally withheld $240 million in crypto transactions from his accountant to avoid paying his dues.
Ver, who renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, faces possible extradition from Spain to the U.S. He asserts the charges are politically motivated, alleging the government is targeting him due to his fierce support for financial autonomy and his criticism of Bitcoin’s hijacking by intelligence agencies and institutional forces. The stakes are high—Ver could face up to 109 years in prison for charges that include tax evasion and mail fraud. His defiance and refusal to comply with government expectations are at the heart of his mounting legal woes.
