Taxation is theft. Regardless of Roger's attitude towards Bitcoin, he is being hunted down by a government who wants to steal his wealth. My support goes out to him.

Per US tax codes he IS liable for tax evasion. When renouncing his US citizenship he also owes an 'exit tax' (several other countries have the same thing) and even more to the point - he is liable per the tax codes as they were during the years in question. Just because the codes have changed since then make no difference tho Ver is insisting it's 'not fair' because penalties for some things were lowered since then.

This guy is a piece of work. Who does he think he is? One of those self-sovereign idiots that thinks laws and taxes don't apply to them?
It is one thing to escape laws or taxes that are grossly unfair and unjust, but that doesn't apply in this case. Ver is simply a tax cheat and tax evader.

Everyone should pay their FAIR share of taxes. I hope he rots in prison.

If one wishes to pay less taxes, there are plenty of ways to do it through means that are perfectly legal.
They are called tax loopholes, err I mean tax strategies commonly used by the wealthy. But I guess this fool was too cheap to hire a good tax advisor.

Yep, as NotFuzzyWarm said - the exit is still a cost to pay  By the laws which are at the time of such an act, as I understood.

may it have something to do with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU7343Ji8GI
I don't know exactly what Ver means and what the problem is.

Interesting to if the timemachine works on this thread and why the replies are gone indeed. Never used it myself.
But after all - it can all be said and done to throw some dirt in the eyes.
Alas, further analysis is needed.

It all depends on the mood of the gov and what they think.
Or maybe he complied with some things behind the scenes, we would never know.

Ask the gov guys, they are always picky in the cases.
As it was told in previous posts - probably to make an example out of the person in question.

You disgusting bootlicker. You support the government stealing from innocent people. Left you another negative feedback.

From what I heard from the video, it can be concluded that RV believes that at the moment when BTC first began to attract public attention (2011), this forum participated in a conspiracy with a three-letter agency that was interested in BTC in order to prevent a quality and meaningful discussion about it - or the forum (admin) did nothing to prevent it.

I wasn't here then, nor were most of the members active today, but it seems to me that RV sees the culprits in everyone who didn't think like him or doesn't think the same today. If you watch the video, it is quite clear that he considers himself the second most important person after Satoshi, and that is why they want to destroy him in any possible way.
