A majority of the crypto community criticized the US government for its indictment against Ver, and a few users called it a part of the larger anti-crypto stance of the Biden administration.
Ver — who has been a Japanese citizen since 2014 — was arrested in Spain on April 30 based on criminal charges in the U.S., which include mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns.The arrest of Ver prompted several crypto veterans to call out the U.S. law enforcement agencies for their misuse of power. Social media crypto users were quick to point out that Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, and the changes of tax evasion were for the sale of assets in 2017.
