Former U.S. President Donald Trump's ex-wife, Marla Maples, is advocating for the dismissal of the case against Roger Ver, known as 'Bitcoin Jesus' in the crypto community.
Marla Maples' Support
Marla Maples shared a social media post supporting the dismissal of the legal case against Roger Ver. She shared a video created by an organization supporting Ver and tagged Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Charges Against Roger Ver
The U.S. Department of Justice charged Roger Ver with mail fraud, tax evasion, and filing false tax returns. He is accused of hiding his bitcoin assets and failing to pay $48 million in taxes after renouncing his U.S. citizenship in 2014.
Public Reaction
Several high-profile figures, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht, have joined the call to stop the prosecution of Roger Ver. Ver has pleaded with Trump for a pardon, claiming he is unfairly targeted.
The case involving Roger Ver has garnered significant public attention, but neither Donald Trump nor the White House has publicly commented on his plea. The outcome of the case remains to be seen.
