The main figures in the encryption space, including the co -founder of Ethereum Vitalik Bustern, invite the former Biguin Betkoin, Roger Ville, to receive presidential pardon Donald Trump.
VER, which is often called “Bitcoin Jesus”, was arrested in February 2024 while attending at the Checks Conference in Barcelona, Spain. He faces charges in the United States for allegedly evading more than $ 48 million of taxes and providing false tax declaration.
Industry numbers question the legal motives behind the Roger Fair trial
Over the past months, Vitalik Buterin and other industry players have raised concerns about Ver’s prosecution.
Today, Burin suggested that the authorities may target Ver because of his explicit views on personal freedoms. He said that the government should focus on recovering unpaid taxes instead of taking harsh legal measures.
“The case against Roger looks very motivated; as with Ross ULBRICHT, there were many people and companies who were accused much faster, and they faced more moderate sentences than Roger faces.” Argue.
Given, the co -founder of Ethereum suggested that the authorities should allow Ver to settle any taxes due instead of imprisonment.
Burin concluded that “the errors of the true intention must be treated by giving the actor the opportunity to pay taxes if necessary with benefits and penalties, and not with the claim.”
Likewise, Ross Olbricht, the former Silk Road operator who recently obtained the compassion, supported the Ver case.
No one should spend the rest of his life in prison due to taxes. Let him pay the tax (if any) and this is done, “ulbricht I mentioned.
Olbricht supporters have long argued that his referee was excessively harsh, and now, many in the encryption space see similarities in the legal battle of VER.
Jesse Powell, co -founder of Kraken, questioned the credibility of the charges, indicating that the authorities make Ver’s life difficult.
“The truth is, they do not like him and want to get it, and they will use any excuse they can get or make his life hell for as long as possible,” Powell He said.
Meanwhile, VER has moved himself to social media, where he resumes directly to President Donald Trump. In January, it is books He needs the president to help justice. A video clip, describing himself as a victim of political persecution.
Recently, he suggested that his case was of political motives, Saying:
I have always tried to pay what the law requires. This is not about taxes. “
Despite these efforts, the market prospects in the Polymarket market show only 7 % chance that Trump will pardon within 100 days in office.
This may be partially low due to the Elon Musk position on this issue. It is now leading the government efficiency management in the Trump Administration (DOGE), and Musk has rejected the possibility of pardon.
Tesla CEO has argued that VER has lost his right to be compassionate by abandoning his American nationality.
“Roger Fair abandoned his American nationality. No pardon for Ver. Membership has its privileges,” Musk He said.
In general, most of the encryption community believes that Ver prosecution is very incompatible with alleged charges. However, the current Ver residence in Spain may affect his call to the American president.
