“Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver Takes Legal Action Against Spain to Fight Extradition Over US Tax Allegations

Roger Ver, a prominent and often controversial figure in the cryptocurrency world, commonly known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” has initiated legal proceedings against Spain in an effort to halt his extradition to the United States. Ver is facing tax evasion charges in the US related to his tax filings between 2014 and 2017. US authorities accuse him of concealing significant assets from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), resulting in substantial tax losses. The United States is seeking his extradition from Spain, where he was apprehended earlier this year. Ver’s defense team argues that the charges are politically motivated and that he should not be extradited. The case is intricate, involving extradition laws between Spain and the United States, as well as Ver’s fundamental rights as a citizen. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for Ver’s future and his relationship with the cryptocurrency space.
