They came for Samourai Wallet, and I didn't speak up because I wanted Saylor's blessings as a statist cuck.
Then they came for Roger Ver, and I didn't stand up because I love NGU and was busy licking boot to care.
Then they came for me, because I had KYC'ed myself thinking I was on the right side of history...

They should force him to convert all his Bitcoins to Bitcoin Cash & then try & sell em to pay his tax bill. #karma
they are on an intimidation campaign that's for sure
What if I tell you that there's a link between:
Mt.Gox - Silk Road - Samourai - Binance CZ - Roger Ver?
Start thinking, what all they have in common?

All these "arrests" are smoke an mirrors, to scare the shit out of normies. Don't you see how is presented Roger in the news? As "Bitcoin Jesus investor" so normies will think, "oh so look what a bitcoin investor will get..." but in fact this whole case have nothing to do with Bitcoin.
In regards of "not paying taxes", study more about how to rebut any autority, jurisdiction or claim that you "have to" pay taxes. Is a lie and we all know it. You do not have to pay any taxes.

The indictment is charging Roger with under reported his bitcoin holdings as a way to tax unrealized gains.
He reported what he sold for profit, but not the bitcoin he personally owned (and never sold).
The indictment also states that they’re trying him 10 years after the fact of his US citizenship renouncement, but fails to mention that during his process of renouncement was paying both Japanese and US taxes.
Point being, what the USG is doing is regulation by criminal enforcement. So whatever precedent is set from these court trials is what will be used against bitcoin holders.
Everyone from Ross Ulbrict, Ian Freeman, Jeremy Kaufman, Julian Assange, Kimdotcom, John McAfee, CZ, Roman Storm, Samourai and more is laying the legal framework to use against normal people.
The idea isn’t so much that they want to scare bitcoiners out of their bitcoin. Far from it. They WANT YOU to own bitcoin because they WANT to tax you when you use it. If they can scare bitcoiners INTO KYC/AMLcompliance and to making them too scared to USE their bitcoin and keep it in HODL mode on, the USG and TPTB will see that as a win.
What is coming is much worse than the Stamp Act of 1765.
anywhere that is friendly to the Empire is a dangerous place to be
the IRS is the biggest protection racket on the planet, and they take all that money, send it to ukraine and africa where it "goes missing" and somehow ends up back in the pockets of the oligarchs
most ginormous mafia racket on the planet
Yes.
Thats why Bitcoin was just a threat. You essentially take their power away.
They won’t give that up so easily.
