"Bitcoin Jesus" Roger Ver was reported to have paid $600,000 to lobby Trump's allies in response to tax charges.

According to Wu, the New York Times reported that “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver paid $600,000 to hire Trump ally Roger Stone for lobbying, aiming to push for changes to the laws related to his tax charges. Ver is accused of mail fraud, tax evasion, and submitting false tax returns, allegedly causing a $48 million loss to the IRS. Ver denies the charges, claiming there were operational obstacles to paying taxes due to insufficient liquidity of Bitcoin at the time. Stone stated that he did not directly lobby government officials, but only provided consulting advice to Ver’s legal team.
