Roger Ver’s Trump pardon plea: ‘Lawfare’ victim or tax evader?
Bitcoin Cash advocate Roger Ver has made a public plea to President Trump to commute his tax evasion charges.
Early Bitcoin adopter Roger Ver has launched a social media campaign pleading with US President Donald Trump to pardon his tax evasion and mail fraud charges, claiming he is the victim of “lawfare” — just like recently pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht and Trump himself.
Currently awaiting extradition to the US, Ver says he faces “109 years” behind bars for crimes he did not commit. In his view, US authorities unjustly pursued him.
However, crypto proponents appear divided over whether Ver deserves a pardon. Some argue he did commit these crimes and that his character is what makes him worthy of the sheer size of the punishment.
