The post Bitcoin Jesus Fights Back: Roger Ver’s Legal Showdown appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Roger Ver, aka “Bitcoin Jesus,” is challenging an indictment accusing him of evading $50M in taxes tied to Bitcoin gains. Ver’s legal team argues the charges are politically motivated, citing government overreach and unconstitutional tax policies. Arrested earlier this year in Spain, Ver claims he acted in good faith based on professional advice when expatriating in 2014. With a crypto-friendly Trump administration on the horizon, his lawyers are optimistic about dismissal. Ver’s case has reignited debates over the U.S. government’s handling of crypto regulation and taxation policies.
