It is the reason why Ver is in hot water due to the $48m in taxes the DOJ claims Ver owes.<\/p>\n<p>Last April, the DOJ charged Ver with multiple counts, including mail fraud, tax evasion, and filing false tax returns. The agency alleges Ver submitted false information about his crypto holdings while preparing to expatriate from the US in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations go on to state that Ver failed to report capital gains after selling around $240 million in Bitcoin in 2017. Ver was arrested in Spain and released on \u20ac150,000 bail in May.<\/p>\n<p>His release came with the condition that Ver surrender his passport and report regularly to Spanish authorities while fighting extradition to the US.<\/p>\n<p>The legal push from Ver, who is also known as \u2018Crypto Jesus\u2019. It comes amid a pro-crypto pivot since the Trump administration came back into power earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In January this year, Ver posted a video regarding his legal troubles. He called it the \u201cweaponization of justice\u201d under the then Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Appealing to the incoming President Trump, Ver said; \u201cIf there\u2019s anybody that knows what it\u2019s like to be the victim of lawfare for spreading American ideals, it\u2019s Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mr. President, I am an American, and I need your help.
