"Bitcoin Jesus" Roger Ver appeals to Trump for help, claiming he could face up to 109 years in prison

Early Bitcoin investor, known as "Bitcoin Jesus", Roger Ver has posted a video on social media asking for help from Trump. Ver is currently facing extradition risk in Spain, he is accused of not declaring capital gains when selling Bitcoin in 2017 and underreporting the amount of Bitcoin held when renouncing his U.S. citizenship in 2014.

Ver stated that he was the world's first Bitcoin ecosystem investor, emphasizing that giving up American citizenship was due to fear of political persecution, but now faces a maximum sentence of 109 years. He pleaded with Trump to help end this "legal battle" so that he could return to invest and develop in the United States.
