Bitcoin Forum / Re: Roger Ver has been arrested
« on: May 08, 2024, 11:18:34 PM »Yes, that's somewhat funny but I believe they don't want to have any clashes with Roger Ver as he's been a part of the crypto sphere for a long time and that's why Bitcoin.com want to have some distance from this issue.I used to be a big fan of Roger Ver and believed that BCH was actually more attractive than BTC due to its larger block size. Unfortunately, BCH was not chosen by the community for many reasons. I hope Roger Ver can settle this lawsuit to avoid a multi-year prison sentence for tax evasion. We will continue to wait for the latest news on this event, although I am not really that interested in it. I prefer to follow the price chart rather than legal news.
I believe that next time those who are having crypto investments should think twice about the taxes because now it's going to be tough for the investors who used to ignore the taxes of crypto currencies.
Tax evasion has always been a crime and no matter if someone does that as a crypto investors or any other kind of investor. Roger Ver will have to bear the consequences of his actions, who know what's going to happen to him from now on.
The good thing is that this news has had almost no significant impact on the BTC price and the crypto market, perhaps because BCH has been almost forgotten in the crypto market despite a +600% recovery over the past year. In fact, it was thanks to this event that I learned that BCH is preparing for a major update on May 15th ^^
