Marla Maples Urges Trump to Drop Lawsuit Against Bitcoin Jesus Roger Ver Amidst Controversy

On March 17th, COINOTAG reported on Marla Maples, the former spouse of Donald Trump, advocating for the dismissal of legal actions against renowned cryptocurrency advocate Roger Ver. The appeal surfaced on social media after a video showcasing Ver’s philanthropic contributions gained traction. Maple’s post on X, which accrued attention from over 61,500 followers, emphasized the need for the lawsuit’s withdrawal. She tagged notable figures including Pam Bondi and Elon Musk in her call for action. Ver, often referred to as “Bitcoin Jesus,” is facing serious allegations including email fraud and tax evasion, stemming from his arrest in Spain last May. Critically, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin condemned the severity of Ver’s legal repercussions, labeling a life sentence for nonviolent tax crimes as absurd. Meanwhile, Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder, articulated his support for Ver, arguing that punitive measures for tax issues are disproportionate. Conversely, Musk noted the complications due to Ver’s renunciation of US citizenship, which affects pardon eligibility.
