privacy coins, and BTCs demiseEarly bitcoin startup investor and passionate freedom advocate Roger Ver, also known as Bitcoin Jesus, could face 109 years in prison if extradited from Spain to face trial in the U.S. As Ver noted in his recent interview with political commentator Tucker Carlson, that would probably mean dying in prison.
And for what? He feels the charges are politically motivated, having nothing to do with alleged tax fraud the state says Ver committed both before and after he was a U.S. citizen.
More than a decade after I had already renounced my U.S. citizenship, and just a couple of weeks after I had published a book on the hijacking of bitcoin, how it no longer works as peer-to-peer cash for the world right after my book gets published that exposes how people claiming to work for intelligence agencies hijacked bitcoin to do that suddenly I get arrested and tossed in jail in Spain, Ver told Carlson early in the video interview.
Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, after an earlier run-in with the American justice system and the ATF (ostensibly for selling firecrackers online) landed him in prison for 10 months. Ver believes that this event was also politically motivated, after he made cutting criticism of the U.S. government while running for office in California in 2000.
