Roger Ver paid his taxes on Bitcoin when he left the U.S., doing everything he could under an unclear set of rules at the time. Now, years later, the government is going after him retroactively. They’ve violated his attorney-client privilege, weaponized Chainalysis to track his financial transactions, and still haven’t told him what he supposedly owes—let alone given him the chance to resolve it.
This isn’t just about Roger. This is about the government’s ability to retroactively target *anyone* who deals with cryptocurrency. And they’re ramping up: 87,000 new armed IRS agents are being hired, with cryptocurrency enforcement as the top priority. That means your financial transactions, especially if you're in crypto, are being watched and could be used against you, even if the rules weren’t clear when you acted.
Roger’s case shows that the government is willing to blur the lines, violate constitutional protections like attorney-client privilege, and impose criminal charges without transparency. Today, it’s Roger. Tomorrow, it could be you.
Whether you agree with Roger or not, the implications of this case are chilling. It affects everyone who believes in the right to privacy, financial innovation, or the simple protection of legal counsel. Stand up now, because if this can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.
