Roger Ver, the global cryptocurrency guru nicknamed ‘Bitcoin Jesus’, has taken up residence in Mallorca after being arrested for an alleged 48 million tax fraud in the United States. The investor has hired the services of the prestigious Mallorcan lawyer Jaime Campaner, who has managed to get the National Court to release him, while it is decided whether he is finally extradited to the US or not.
The US Department of Justice had been following the movements of the multimillionaire in his mega yacht for some time and last month he was arrested in the port of Barcelona. He was provisionally imprisoned while his team of lawyers in California began the legal fight to free him. Finally, after hiring Campaner, Judge Santiago Pedraz agreed to release him from jail upon payment of a bail of 150,000 euros.
He withdrew his passport so that he could not leave Spain and ordered him to appear every two days at a court or police station to sign in. Now, according to Bulletin stablemate newspaper Ultima Hora, Roger Ver has been seen in Mallorca, interested in the real estate market as he wants to establish his residence on the island and will soon buy a house in a discreet area whose exact location has not been revealed.
