As an analyst with a keen interest in the intersection of technology and law, I find Roger Ver’s case fascinating yet disheartening. With his extensive background as a Bitcoin advocate and entrepreneur, it seems ironic that he is now entangled in a legal battle over tax evasion.
Roger Ver, the most prominent backer of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork, has filed a motion to dismiss an indictment against him.
According to U.Today’s report, Ver was detained in Spain this year due to unpaid taxes totaling approximately $50 million owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Although Ver attempted to escape U.S. tax obligations by giving up American citizenship, it was required for him to pay an exit tax. However, instead of fulfilling this obligation, Ver aimed to evade paying a substantial amount in taxes (tens of millions of dollars) by secretly transferring ownership of his coins to companies he still controlled.
Additionally, the supporter of Bitcoin Cash deliberately gave misleading data to his tax advisor, neglecting to reveal substantial Bitcoin transactions.
In his argument, Ver portrays himself as a casualty of excessive government intervention, contending that the indictment is, in fact, unlawful under the Constitution. The motion posits that the exit tax contravenes both the Sixteenth Amendment and the First Amendment’s Due Process clause. Ver’s legal team maintains that the right to emigrate is a basic freedom, and the imposition of an exit tax undermines his right to renounce citizenship.
According to the proposal, it’s stated that the government didn’t clearly explain the taxes that the initial Bitcoin users allegedly should have paid. However, Ver asserts that negotiations for a peaceful settlement were happening before his arrest in Spain.
Ver could possibly face decades behind bars if he gets convicted of all charges.
In the early 2000s, I found myself serving a ten-month sentence due to my questionable online business dealings involving the sale of explosives on eBay, an incident that undeniably cast a shadow over my entrepreneurial reputation.
