Lawyers for Roger Ver, the cryptocurrency advocate known as Bitcoin Jesus, urged a US judge to dismiss his tax evasion indictment in their first court filing since his April arrest in Spain.
US prosecutors charged Ver, 45, with evading more than $48 million in taxes for selling $240 million in tokens and with filing a false “exit tax” return after he renounced his US citizenship in 2014. The legal salvo came as Ver awaits a Spanish judge’s decision on whether he must be extradited to face the most prominent US tax case dealing only with crypto assets.
