Roger Ver, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency world, has reached out to former U.S. President Donald Trump for help in a legal case that threatens his extradition to the U.S. over tax-related charges.
Appeal to Trump for Help
Roger Ver, who renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, made a public plea to Donald Trump on Twitter. Ver believes that only the former president, with his 'commitment to justice,' can prevent his extradition to the U.S., where he faces up to 109 years in prison on charges of tax evasion and fraud.
Facing Legal Charges and Extradition
Roger Ver's legal challenges began in 2022 when U.S. authorities charged him with mail fraud, tax evasion, and false tax returns. If convicted, he could face decades in prison. Ver was arrested in Spain, where he currently remains under strict judicial supervision as he awaits further proceedings.
Trump’s Influence and Possible Pardon
While Ver’s appeal to Trump might seem audacious, it is not without precedent: Donald Trump has previously pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road platform. This decision has led to speculation that Ver might be similarly pardoned, considering his prominent role in the cryptocurrency industry.
Roger Ver's future remains uncertain as his legal battle and potential extradition continue to unfold. His appeal to Donald Trump reflects his desperation and belief in the former president as a last hope.
