Roger Ver is more like Bitcoin Judas, as he tried to hijack Bitcoin which spun off Bitcoin Cash as the majority of the Bitcoin community rejected his takeover attempt. If you held Bitcoin when this happened, you were able to fork your Bitcoin holdings into Bitcoin Cash which you could sell and\/or buy more Bitcoin, so it wasn’t a total loss. The main tactic was that by blowing up the blockchain for a lot more transactions, it would of made it very difficult to run your own Bitcoin node, which is bad for Bitcoin (I’m currently running two nodes, Pi 4 and Pi 5, as the Bitcon blockchain is under 1 TB). And a good security measure is to run your own node you can trust, which your wallets use exclusively leaking no information. And Ver is being prosecuted for tax evasion, as when he gave up his US citizenship, the legal requirement is you consider all of your holdings as sold and pay your capital gains taxes when leaving, which he did not do and tried to hide his holdings to cheat the US government. So he shouldn’t be pardoned. Worth noting as he should have known better, long ago at a conference he gave a presentation and a couple feds were in attendance, and whatever he discussed had them look into him while he was violating federal law in sending out a type of firecracker through mail order for scaring away birds, and he went to federal prison for it (funny part is Cabelas was doing the same thing but behind a corporate structure). Consequently, the guy is a cretin who should have paid his taxes which he could have afforded holding millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency. I’m sure with a good attorney and sufficient penalties he could make a deal, but I bet he’s still trying to hold onto his treasure and trying this pardon campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marla Maples, Donald Trump\u2019s second ex-wife, is the latest high-profile figure supporting early Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

US President Donald Trump\u2019s second ex-wife, Marla Maples, has shown support for ending the country\u2019s case against early Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver, known as \u201cBitcoin Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSharing more re [regarding] the call to dismiss the prosecution against Roger Ver,\u201d Maples said<\/a> in a March 16 X post, sharing a video created by an organization aimed at supporting Ver and tagging Trump, Elon Musk and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Justice charged Ver with mail fraud<\/a>, tax evasion and filing false tax returns in April 2024, alleging he hid the amount of Bitcoin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$83,740<\/a> he owned when he renounced his US citizenship in 2014 and defrauded the Internal Revenue Service out of $48 million by failing to report<\/a> the gains he made through selling them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maples and Trump met in the mid-1980s during his first marriage to Ivana Trump, and was his second wife from 1993 until 1999. She has long been involved with philanthropy and has advocated for multiple charities and causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is seemingly still close to and supportive of Trump, who together have a daughter, Tiffany Trump. Maples attended<\/a> Trump\u2019s inauguration and told<\/a> the London Evening Standard in July that she was \u201copen to whatever way that I can serve\u201d the then-presidential bidder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maples joins a host of high-profile figures calling to stop<\/a> the prosecution of Ver, which includes Ethereum co-founder<\/a> Vitalik Buterin and online black market Silk Road creator<\/a> Ross Ulbricht, who was facing a double life sentence in prison until Trump pardoned him in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ver has appealed to Trump for a pardon, claiming he is being unfairly persecuted and is a victim of \u201clawfare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Trump nor the White House has publicly acknowledged Ver\u2019s plea, but Trump\u2019s cost-cutting czar Musk said<\/a> in a January X post that Ver \u201cgave up his US citizenship. No pardon for Ver. Membership has its privileges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ver was arrested in Spain at the time of the US indictment pending his extradition to the US but was later granted bail<\/a> on the condition he remain in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He moved to dismiss<\/a> the government\u2019s case in December, arguing the charges were unconstitutional, and the IRS\u2019 \u201cexit tax\u201d for renounced citizens is \u201cinscrutably vague\u201d when applied to crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
