BTC early investor, known as "BTC Jesus" Roger Ver, posted a video on social media seeking help from Trump. Ver is currently facing extradition risk in Spain and is accused of not declaring capital gains when selling BTC in 2017, as well as underreporting BTC holdings when renouncing US citizenship in 2014. Ver claims to be the first global BTC ecosystem investor, emphasizing that he renounced his American citizenship out of fear of political persecution, but currently faces a maximum sentence of 109 years. He pleads for Trump's help to end this "legal battle" and allow him to return to the United States for investment and development.

Bitcoin early investor Roger Ver has been charged by the Department of Justice with mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns. Roger Ver was arrested in Spain this week on U.S. criminal charges. The United States will seek the extradition of Roger Ver to the United States to face trial. It is reported that Roger Ver originally lived in Santa Clara, California, and owned two companies, MemoryDealers.com Inc. and Agilestar.com Inc., which sell computer and network equipment. Beginning in 2011, Roger Ver began buying Bitcoin for himself and his company, and his personal passion for promoting Bitcoin earned him the nickname "Bitcoin Jesus." Roger Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship on February 4, 2014, and after moving abroad, U.S. law required Roger Ver to file tax returns reporting capital gains from the sale of its assets worldwide, including Bitcoin, and was required to pay taxes on those capital gains. In total, the Department of Justice believes that Roger Ver caused at least $48 million in damages to the IRS.
