According to BlockBeats, on May 1, according to official news, Roger Ver, an early Bitcoin investor, was 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 to extradite Roger Ver to the United States for 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 computers and network equipment. Since 2011, Roger Ver has begun to acquire Bitcoin for himself and his company. He is personally keen to promote Bitcoin and even earned the nickname "Bitcoin Jesus". Roger Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship on February 4, 2014. After moving abroad, U.S. law requires Roger Ver to file a tax return to report the capital gains from the sale of his assets (including Bitcoin) worldwide, and he is required to pay taxes on these capital gains. The Department of Justice believes that Roger Ver has caused a total loss of at least $48 million to the IRS.
