Roger gave up his citizenship because he was a victim of lawfare, sentenced to prison for speaking his political beliefs. He knew that his Bitcoin advocacy would put him in the crosshairs again. He ensured his exit was clean and exiled himself for his own safety, and the survival of his family. Turns out, he was 100% correct. This bullshit tax charge is the only hook they could come up with and they've been chasing him for over a decade. Whatever you think about Roger, you cannot ignore his contributions to early Bitcoin, and you cannot support unjust abuses of power by the US, whether the target is a US citizen or not. The "no citizenship, no pardon" rhetoric is disgusting. You don't blame someone for divorcing their severely abusive spouse when the abuse is undeniably clear. Furthermore, @rogerkver is one of the best human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing. This unjust persecution must end.
