Kraken founder questions U.S. charges against Roger Ver, supports his bid for presidential pardon.

Odaily Planet Daily News - Kraken founder Jesse Powell expressed support for Bitcoin entrepreneur Roger Ver, also known as "Bitcoin Jesus," in his pursuit of a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. In a post on X, Powell pointed out that Ver, who renounced his U.S. citizenship, is a victim of government overreach rather than the tax evader depicted by authorities. He believes that the existing evidence against Ver for tax evasion is highly questionable. Therefore, the IRS's attempts to prosecute and convict him appear to be a case of political persecution.
