Crypto Legend Roger Ver Fights Spanish Extradition in High-Stakes US Tax Battle: Bloomberg
Bitcoin pioneer Roger Ver—dubbed 'Bitcoin Jesus'—is making headlines again, this time for battling Spanish authorities over potential extradition to the US on tax charges. The crypto luminary's legal team is pulling out all stops to keep him off American soil.
Why Spain? Ver's choice of legal battleground adds intrigue to the saga. With its complex extradition treaties and crypto-friendly pockets, the country might just buy him time—or a way out.
Taxman cometh: The US Justice Department alleges Ver owes millions in unpaid taxes from early Bitcoin sales. Meanwhile, crypto Twitter is divided—some call it karma for his Bitcoin Cash pivot, others see government overreach. Either way, the feds clearly didn't get the memo that crypto bros 'don't believe in taxation.'
