In a headline-grabbing interview, Alex Jones has made a bold statement in support of Roger Ver, the man known as Bitcoin Jesus, branding him a political prisoner of the U.S. government’s ongoing war against crypto pioneers. With the cryptocurrency world watching closely, Jones didn’t hold back in his assessment of Ver’s legal troubles, denouncing the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) for what he calls “a blatant attempt to crush financial independence.”
"Roger Ver, a true trailblazing visionary—another person the Deep State saw from far away and said, ‘Cut that one down, it'll grow too big.’ We need a mass, unconditional pardon for all of the Bitcoin people. This is pure crap," Jones declared in his latest broadcast.
Jones equated Ver’s persecution to the broader political weaponization of law enforcement, linking his case to those of former President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and other high-profile figures he claims have been unfairly targeted.
"Trump’s in, and we’re winning big, but there are still a lot of people we can’t leave behind—like myself and Roger Ver, who’s in even worse crosshairs of the bad guys," Jones continued. "He’s the latest victim of government lawfare, just like President Trump."
The accusations against Ver stem from alleged tax violations dating back to his expatriation in 2014, but many in the crypto community see it as a politically motivated attack designed to make an example out of one of the industry’s most influential figures.
Roger Ver, an early investor in Bitcoin and one of the first entrepreneurs to fund major crypto projects like Blockchain.com, XRP, and Bitcoin.com, has been instrumental in spreading cryptocurrency adoption. His investments and activism have helped create an industry that now represents trillions of dollars in value and has challenged the centralized financial system.
However, the U.S. government’s approach to Ver’s case has raised serious concerns about financial freedom and regulatory overreach. Critics argue that while thousands of Bitcoin holders were given the opportunity to amend their tax filings after the IRS released its first guidance on digital assets, Ver was instead criminally charged.
"Even Mainline analysts said this is just preposterous," Jones emphasized. "Trump has promised that the new Department of Justice will end the Democrats' lawfare and Biden’s war on Bitcoin. President Trump really needs to dismiss the charges against Roger."
As Ver faces the possibility of a 109-year prison sentence, the #FreeRogerNow movement has exploded across social media, with libertarian groups, crypto advocates, and financial freedom activists calling for justice. Many see his case as the ultimate test of government overreach in an era where decentralized currencies threaten traditional power structures.
"The U.S. government doesn’t just come after you because of taxes. They open up on you to demonize you before they send the Justice Department to indict you. This is a conspiracy against rights," Jones stated.
The crypto industry is now watching to see whether President Trump, a vocal critic of politically motivated prosecutions, will intervene and issue a pardon for Ver—a move that could significantly bolster his support among the millions of crypto users worldwide.
The outcome of Roger Ver’s legal battle could set a precedent that impacts the future of digital assets and the people who build them. If a prominent advocate like Ver can be targeted under ambiguous, retroactively applied laws, then no one in the industry is safe.
For those who believe in the right to financial sovereignty, decentralization, and innovation, the fight to free Roger Ver has become a symbol of resistance against government control of the digital economy.
