Roger Ver, an early Bitcoin investor, has been charged by the Justice Department with mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns. Roger Ver was arrested in Spain this week on US criminal charges. The US will seek his extradition to the US to stand trial.
It is reported that Roger Ver originally lived in Santa Clara, California and owned two companies, MemoryDealers.com Inc. and Agilestar.com Inc. to sell computer and network equipment. Beginning in 2011, Roger Ver began to acquire Bitcoin for himself and his company, and his personal passion for promoting Bitcoin even earned the nickname "Bitcoin Jesus". Roger Ver renounced his US citizenship on February 4, 2014. After moving abroad, US law required Roger Ver to file tax returns reporting capital gains from the sale of his assets worldwide, including Bitcoin, and was required to pay taxes on these capital gains.
In total, Roger Ver caused the IRS at least $48 million in damages, according to the Justice Department.
