Bitcoin pioneer and self-proclaimed ‘Bitcoin Jesus,’ Roger Ver, is embroiled in a legal battle that could result in over a century of imprisonment. Facing allegations including mail fraud, tax evasion, and false declarations, Ver’s case has taken an unexpected turn as he seeks to influence the political landscape through his connections. Recent reports reveal Ver dished out $600,000 to prominent Trump associate Roger Stone for lobbying efforts aimed at revising legal frameworks surrounding his case. These controversial moves aim to garner support for potential changes in Ver’s legal standing. 48 million dollars in unpaid taxes due upon leaving US citizenship are another point of contention. He maintains that market stagnation hindered his ability to meet this obligation. Ver’s predicament has triggered a wave of debate, with even former Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht and economist Jeffrey Tucker offering their support to the controversial figure.
