Wu Shuo learned that, according to The New York Times, "Bitcoin Jesus" Roger Ver paid 600 thousand USD to hire Trump ally Roger Stone as his lobbyist, intending to push for amendments to laws related to the tax charges against him. Ver is accused of mail fraud, tax evasion, and submitting false tax returns, allegedly causing a loss of 48 million USD to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Ver denies the charges, stating that due to Bitcoin's insufficient liquidity at the time, there were operational obstacles in paying taxes. Stone, meanwhile, said that he did not directly lobby government officials but only provided consulting advice to Ver's legal team.
