Roger Ver

Roger Keith Ver (born 27 January 1979) is an early investor in Bitcoin, Bitcoin-related startups and an early promoter of Bitcoin, and sometimes known as Bitcoin Jesus.

Born and raised in Silicon Valley, he sold fireworks on eBay and later pleaded guilty to a related felony charge. He served ten months in prison and then moved to Japan in 2005. He renounced his United States citizenship in 2014 after obtaining citizenship in Saint Kitts and Nevis. He previously was CEO of Bitcoin.com. He was indicted in April 2024 for income tax evasion in the US. Provided by Wikipedia
