Crypto entrepreneur and alleged criminal Roger “Bitcoin Jesus” Ver is pleading with President Donald Trump for a pardon—but Trump confidant and Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk said that Ver’s renounced U.S. citizenship makes that impossible.
Musk, the tech titan and close President Trump ally—not to mention noted Dogecoin fan and head of the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE—said on X (formerly Twitter) Sunday that Ver would not get pardoned because of the move.
Ver, 46, is facing jail time after the feds last year charged him with avoiding paying $50 million in taxes, along with alleged mail fraud and filing false tax returns. He is now campaigning for President Trump’s help via social media posts.
“Roger Ver gave up his U.S. citizenship,” Musk, the world’s richest man, wrote on X. “No pardon for Ver. Membership has its privileges,” he added in response to an X user’s questions.

The topic of pardons is currently a hot one after President Donald Trump kept his campaign promise and last week released Silk Road founder and Bitcoin enthusiast Ross Ulbricht.
Ulbricht was serving two life terms plus 40 years without parole for running a dark web marketplace that was largely used to buy drugs via BTC. Libertarians, Bitcoiners, and the wider crypto community had lobbied the President to release Ulbricht, arguing that his sentence was too harsh.
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday a pardon for Ross Ulbricht, ending the Silk Road founder’s more than decade-long imprisonment. In a social media post on Truth Social, Trump said he had granted Ulbricht a "full and unconditional pardon," citing support from the Libertarian movement and criticizing the government’s handling of Ulbricht’s case. From 2011 to 2013, Ulbricht operated the Silk Road marketplace, going by the nickname Dread Pirate Roberts. Prosecutors said the site served over...
Now Ver, one of the earliest investors in Bitcoin, is hoping for the same result from President Trump. On Sunday, he released a dramatic video begging the new commander in chief to clear his charges.
Ver did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s questions. On Monday, he released another clip—lasting 20 minutes—claiming that, “For decades, I’ve been terrorized by rogue U.S. government agents who hate American freedom.”

Crypto entrepreneur Ver earned the name “Bitcoin Jesus” because he used to give away the cryptocurrency for free when it was worth next to nothing, and heavily invested in the cryptosphere’s earliest companies.
But Ver switched to promoting Bitcoin spinoff Bitcoin Cash, and has since been trying to grow the coin. He claims Bitcoin Cash is the “real” Bitcoin, and has rubbed the biggest and oldest cryptocurrency’s community the wrong way with his aggressive marketing.
Ver, who served prison time in 2002 for selling explosives on eBay, renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and became a citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Feds nabbed Ver in Spain last year after U.S. authorities ordered his arrest, alleging that he sold Bitcoin in 2017 but had not informed the IRS about the gains he had made.

A court in Abuja has adjourned Nigeria’s ongoing tax evasion case against Binance to April 30, according to a report from Reuters. The adjournment follows legal challenges from Binance contesting a February court order that allowed Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to serve legal documents via email. The company, which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, has argued the FIRS did not obtain proper authorization to serve papers outside the country. Binance has no physical office in...
A crypto attorney believes the U.S. government has the answer to one of technology’s greatest mysteries: the identity of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. On Monday, James Murphy filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, alleging the agency knows who Nakamoto is. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Murphy, who dubs himself the “MetaLawMan,” explained the rationale behind the lawsuit. “My FOIA lawsuit seeks documents concerning cla...
