Roger Ver, known as Bitcoin Jesus, faces charges of evading over $48 million in taxes from $240 million in token sales, marking a pivotal case in crypto-related tax fraud.
The Justice Department's charges against Ver signify a shift in how authorities address tax evasion in the digital asset space, focusing on tax fraud rather than secondary crimes.
Ver asserts his innocence, claiming he followed professional guidance, and alleges his prosecution is rooted in his political beliefs and criticisms of the US government.
As Ver awaits extradition proceedings in Spain, he expresses frustration over what he perceives as selective prosecution, insisting he took steps to ensure compliance with tax regulations.
