DeThings, February 21 - Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, tweeted: "When I was feeling down and needed help, Roger Ver was always there for me. Now he needs our support. No one should spend their life in prison for paying taxes; let him pay his taxes (if any) and be done with it."
According to previous reports, Roger Ver, also known as "Bitcoin Jesus," renounced his U.S. citizenship on February 4, 2014. After moving abroad, U.S. laws required Roger Ver to submit tax returns reporting capital gains from the sale of his global assets (including Bitcoin) and to pay taxes on those capital gains. In May of last year, Roger Ver was arrested in Spain and charged with mail fraud, tax evasion, and filing false tax returns.
