'Bitcoin Jesus' charged with tax fraud and arrested in Spain

Just as the crypto space mules over the fate of former Binance CEO – Changpeng Zhao, the United States Department of Justice has announced charges against another prominent crypto player. The person under the DoJ’s radar is Roger Ver aka Bitcoin Jesus, an early Bitcoin investor.

The US DoJ has claimed that Ver has “evaded nearly $50M in taxes”. The charges brought against him have led to his arrest in Spain this weekend, according to a press release.

The story is still developing.
