Roger Ver, known as "Bitcoin Jesus" in the crypto world, is facing a tax case related to his renouncement of US citizenship. Ver's attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss the case, and political activist Charlie Kirk invited Ver and Tracy Thurman from freerogernow.org onto his show to discuss the situation. Thurman explained that Ver had done everything possible to comply with the exit tax but is being targeted by the US government because of his criticisms of their programs. The charges against Ver are regarding allegations of not paying enough exit tax, even though he wasn't a US citizen at the time. Thurman highlighted the absurdity of the case, explaining the complexity of the tax and how trying to sell all of Ver's Bitcoin holdings would have crashed the market. She emphasized the need for a pardon or dismissal of charges, which Kirk agreed with and said he plans to reach out to President-elect Trump about the matter.
