Roger Ver, also known as 'Bitcoin Jesus,' was granted bail of €150,000 ($163,000) by Spanish authorities while facing extradition to the US for tax fraud charges. The conditions of his bail include surrendering his passport, remaining in Spain, and visiting a Spanish court every two days. Despite attempts by prosecutors to appeal his release, Ver's bail was upheld. The US alleges that Ver defrauded the IRS of over $48 million. His arrest in late April coincided with the release of his book 'Hijacking Bitcoin,' which presents his perspective on Bitcoin's blocksize wars from 2015 to 2017. Ver, the founder of MemoryDealers.com Inc. and Agilestar.com Inc., gained fame for his extensive Bitcoin purchases, earning him the title 'Bitcoin Jesus.' The IRS claims that he provided false information about his Bitcoin holdings to advisors. Ver's lawyer, Jaime Campaner, asserts that Ver maintained contact with US authorities through his lawyers in California, challenging the necessity of his arrest.
