Just as the crypto space mules over the fate of former Binance CEO – Changpeng Zhao, the United States Department of Justice has announced charges against another prominent crypto player. The person under the DoJ’s radar is Roger Ver aka Bitcoin Jesus, an early Bitcoin investor.
Before the citizenship swap, Ver owned two firms in the US 0 MemoryDealers.com and Agilestar.com, which sold computer and networking equipment. And, Ver had purchased Bitcoins for himself and under the name of these two companies back in 2011. As of February 2014, the total number of Bitcoins owned by Ver and his companies was nearly 131,0000 BTC, and the companies alone accounted for 73,000 of those BTCs.
Additionally, the US authority claimed Ver had sold most of the BTCs belonging to the companies for nearly $240 million in cash in November 2017. This was the same timeline when Bitcoin had grabbed international headlines for breaking records and the coin hitting a high of $20,000 the next month.
