The crypto community is outraged by Roger Ver's arrest on allegations of tax evasion.
The US government charged him with mail fraud and accused him of underreporting assets when he renounced US citizenship in 2014.
While Ver's lawyer claims he relied on professionals for proper filings, this incident has sparked debates on taxation morality and government overreach, especially considering the time elapsed since the alleged offenses.
