Roger Ver, a well-known cryptocurrency proponent, has reached out to former President Donald Trump for assistance amid potential extradition and tax allegations.

Public Appeal to Trump

Roger Ver, widely known in the cryptocurrency community as 'Bitcoin Jesus,' has made a public appeal to former President Donald Trump, seeking his help in his legal battle. In his tweet, Ver expressed his belief that only Trump, with his commitment to justice, could save him from imminent extradition to the U.S., where he faces serious charges and potential prison time.

A Storied Career in Crypto

In 2011, Roger Ver discovered Bitcoin when its price was less than $1. He quickly invested in it and helped establish major companies like Blockchain.com, Kraken, and Ripple. Ver's early advocacy earned him the nickname 'Bitcoin Jesus.' In 2017, he became a supporter of Bitcoin Cash, causing mixed reactions within the crypto community. Some view Ver as a visionary, while others see him as an opportunist.

Legal Charges and Extradition Threat

Ver's legal troubles began in 2022 when U.S. authorities charged him with mail fraud, tax evasion, and filing false tax returns. He is accused of underreporting company and personal assets, causing harm to the IRS. Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, becoming a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis, yet faces accusations. He was arrested in Spain and remains on bail, awaiting proceedings.

Roger Ver's appeal to Donald Trump highlights his desperate situation and his efforts to avoid potential extradition to the U.S. Whether the former president will intervene is yet to be seen.
