According to PANews, U.S. President Donald Trump's long-time ally, Roger J. Stone Jr., has been lobbying on behalf of Roger Ver, known as 'Bitcoin Jesus,' who is currently facing federal fraud and criminal tax charges. Since February, Ver has paid Stone $600,000 in an effort to overturn key tax provisions related to the charges. The U.S. Department of Justice previously revealed that Ver, who once resided in California, renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and was arrested in Spain last year. Plans for his extradition were announced by the Department of Justice at that time.
