CoinDesk is reporting that Roger Ver is being charged with tax fraud. This will be an interesting case to watch as I’m sure the government would love to come after anyone who used Bitcoin early on for whatever they can. Tax fraud is pretty serious though and would mean he knowingly lied on his returns. This will be a case to watch for sure.
That's how Al Capone got taken down...what route will OGNasty take?
Will he claim he didn't need to pay taxes because he wasn't a retailer of the coins (lol)?
Will he claim he didn't need to pay because his home improvements were ponzi improvements?
What we he say about his forced donations on the tax evasion scam he is still promoting?
Will he claim he paid taxes on the 6,000 bitcoin he made on his ponzi, but claims he did not? That will be be an interesting one to follow. The SEC has blockchain proof he got the coins - will the IRS subpoena that?
