> The US Government's contention that a non-citizen can be guilty of tax evasion is just laughable on its face.

Exit tax is due when you renounce citizenship, at which point you're still a citizen.

There's also plenty of non-citizens who have to pay US taxes, e.g. everyone with shares in a pass through LLC. And if they commit fraud doing so, they can get charged with that.

He'll probably settle for a nominal fiat amount that's less than the value of Bitcoin he would have had to sell back in the day.

Meanwhile he gets some TV attention with, indeed, the absolute insane idea that his book need CIA suppression. And Tucker gets to make money promoting nonsense. Everyone wins? :-)

The indictment makes for some fun light reading. I don't know if Tucker pushed him on any of the specifics?

Common theme may be that he ignored his own legal advisors. Presumably his current lawyer told him not to do a TV interview.
