Trump’s second ex-wife calls for end of prosecution against Roger Ver
Marla Maples, Donald Trump’s second ex-wife, is the latest high-profile figure supporting early Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver.
US President Donald Trump’s second ex-wife, Marla Maples, has shown support for ending the country’s case against early Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver, known as “Bitcoin Jesus.”
“Sharing more re [regarding] the call to dismiss the prosecution against Roger Ver,” Maples said in a March 16 X post, sharing a video created by an organization aimed at supporting Ver and tagging Trump, Elon Musk and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The Department of Justice charged Ver with mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns in April 2024, alleging he hid the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) he owned when he renounced his US citizenship in 2014 and defrauded the Internal Revenue Service out of $48 million by failing to report the gains he made through selling them.
