慷慨大方的燈塔：支持者重點介紹羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver）的全球慈善遺產

當比特幣先驅羅傑·弗吉爾（Roger Ver）與稅收有關的指控引入美國時，全球同事們正在焦點他的匿名慈善事業

Roger Ver, the cryptocurrency pioneer, faces a potential 100-year prison sentence if convicted of U.S. charges including tax fraud and filing false tax returns. These charges stem from Ver’s 2014 citizenship renunciation, which he says was to avoid being drafted into the U.S. military.

加密貨幣先驅羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver）將面臨100年徒刑，如果被定罪，包括美國罪名和提交虛假納稅申報表。這些指控源於VER 2014年的公民放棄，他說這是為了避免被選為美軍。

However, Ver, currently battling extradition from Spain, vehemently denies the allegations as unconstitutional and politically motivated. His legal team further argues that the U.S. government improperly accessed privileged attorney-client communications.

但是，目前正在與西班牙引渡的鬥爭，強烈否認這些指控是違憲和出於政治動機的。他的法律團隊進一步辯稱，美國政府不當訪問了特權律師 - 客戶通訊。

Now, associates globally are highlighting a different side of Ver—his anonymous philanthropy, which has spanned disaster relief, cancer research, and empowering underserved communities.

現在，全球同事正在強調Ver的不同方面 - 他的匿名慈善事業跨越了救災，癌症研究並賦予服務不足的社區能力。

From hurricanes and earthquakes to a floundering nonprofit school and tech education in Nigeria, Ver’s contributions have varied widely.

從颶風和地震到尼日利亞的陷入困境的非營利學校和技術教育，VER的貢獻變化很大。

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Island Academy, a small nonprofit school in Antigua, was struggling to stay afloat. But thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor, the school was able to continue providing education to children in the community.

在COVID-19大流行期間，安提瓜的一所小型非營利性學校島學院一直在努力維持生計。但是，由於匿名捐助者的慷慨捐助，學校能夠繼續向社區中的兒童提供教育。

The donor was later revealed to be Roger Ver, a cryptocurrency pioneer known for his outspoken nature and contributions to emerging technologies.

後來，捐助者被揭示為羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver），這是一個以其直言不諱的性質和對新興技術的貢獻而聞名的加密貨幣先驅。

“During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Island Academy, a small nonprofit school in Antigua, was struggling to stay afloat. We had seen a significant decline in student enrollment and donations, and we were concerned that we might have to close our doors for good,” said Bernadette Sherman, a spokesperson for Island Academy.

“在Covid-19-19大流行期間，安提瓜的一所小型非營利性學校Island Academy正在努力維持生計。我們已經看到學生入學率和捐款大幅下降，我們擔心我們可能不得不為永久關閉大門。

The school, which provides a unique blend of academic programs with a focus on the arts and technology, had seen a steady decline in enrollment over the past few years. This was due in part to the economic downturn on the island, which led to parents being unable to afford the school’s tuition fees.

這所學校提供了一種獨特的學術課程，重點是藝術和技術，在過去的幾年中，入學率一直在穩步下降。這部分是由於該島的經濟低迷，這導致父母無法負擔學校的學費。

“We pride ourselves on providing an excellent education to children from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses,” Sherman said. “But we were worried that we would no longer be able to fulfill our mission without additional support.”

謝爾曼說：“我們為為來自不同背景和社會經濟地位的兒童提供出色的教育而感到自豪。” “但是我們擔心如果沒有額外的支持，我們將無法履行我們的任務。”

Just as the school was reaching a critical juncture, they received a large donation from an unexpected source. The donor, who wished to remain anonymous, had learned about the school’s plight through a mutual acquaintance.

就在學校達到關鍵時刻時，他們從一個意外的消息來源收到了大量捐款。希望保持匿名的捐助者通過相互熟悉了解了學校的困境。

“We were deeply grateful for the donor’s generosity, which arrived at a time when we needed it most,” Sherman said. “The donation enabled us to keep our doors open and continue providing a quality education to the children of Antigua.”

謝爾曼說：“我們非常感謝捐助者的慷慨大方，這是我們最需要的時候到達的。” “捐贈使我們能夠保持大門的打開狀態，並繼續向安提瓜的孩子們提供優質的教育。”

The donor’s identity was a closely guarded secret, with only a small circle of individuals in the know. However, after the donation was made, rumors began circulating around the island. Many believed that the donor was a foreign philanthropist who had a passion for supporting education in developing countries.

捐助者的身份是一個嚴密的秘密，只有一小圈的人知道。但是，捐贈後，謠言開始在島上流傳。許多人認為，捐助者是一位外國慈善家，他熱衷於支持發展中國家的教育。

But the truth was even more surprising. The donor was none other than Roger Ver, a cryptocurrency pioneer who had been involved in several legal battles with the U.S. government over tax-related charges.

但事實更令人驚訝。捐助者就是羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver），他是一個加密貨幣先驅，他曾與美國政府涉及與稅收有關的指控進行過幾次法律鬥爭。

Ver, who had renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014, was accused by the U.S. government of failing to pay taxes on cryptocurrency income and making false statements on his tax returns. Ver maintained his innocence throughout the case, arguing that the charges were politically motivated and that he had fully complied with Spanish law.

Ver在2014年放棄了美國公民身份，他被美國政府指控未對加密貨幣收入繳稅，並對其納稅申報表作出虛假陳述。維爾在整個案件中保持了自己的純真，認為這些指控是出於政治動機，並且他完全遵守了西班牙法律。

After a long legal battle, Ver’s case reached the Spanish Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of extraditing Ver to the U.S. to stand trial. The decision brought an end to a saga that had spanned nearly seven years and involved legal teams on both sides of the Atlantic.

經過長期的法律鬥爭，VER的案件到達了西班牙最高法院，該法院裁定支持將VER引渡到美國接受審判。該決定結束了一個跨越了將近七年的傳奇，並涉及大西洋雙方的法律團隊。

As Ver prepared for extradition, his supporters rallied around him, organizing protests and speaking out against what they saw as an injustice. They highlighted Ver’s contributions to the cryptocurrency community and his efforts to support those in need.

當準備引渡時，他的支持者在他周圍集會，組織抗議活動並反對他們認為不公正的事物。他們強調了VER對加密貨幣社區的貢獻，以及他為支持有需要的人提供的努力。

One of Ver’s supporters, Dan Akston from The Crypto Show, spoke candidly about how he contributed to a variety of causes close to his heart, including cancer research and a food bank in New York.

Crypto Show的Ver的支持者之一Dan Akston坦率地談到了他如何為靠近他心臟的各種原因做出貢獻，包括癌症研究和紐約的食品銀行。

Akston also mentioned his contributions to disaster relief efforts for Hurricanes Harvey in Texas and Maria in Florida, as well as earthquakes in Puebla, Mexico.

阿克斯頓還提到了他為德克薩斯州哈維颶風和佛羅里達州的瑪麗亞以及墨西哥普埃布拉的地震做出的貢獻。

These contributions, which spanned several years, showcased Akston’s commitment to giving back to those in need. His efforts to help those affected by natural disasters and other crises demonstrated his wide-ranging philanthropy.

這些貢獻跨越了幾年，展示了阿克斯頓致力於回饋有需要的人的承諾。他幫助受到自然災害和其他危機影響的人的努力證明了他廣泛的慈善事業。

In addition to his contributions to cancer research and disaster relief, Akston also spoke about a special project that was close to his heart. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Akston learned about a nonprofit school in Antigua that was floundering from the disastrous effects of the pandemic.

除了他對癌症研究和救災的貢獻外，阿克斯頓還談到了一個靠近他內心的特殊項目。在Covid-19大流行期間，阿克斯頓了解了安提瓜的一所非營利學校，這種學校因大流行的災難性影響而掙扎。

The school, Island Academy, is known for its unique blend of academic programs with a focus on the arts and technology. It provides an excellent education to children from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses.

該學校島學院以其獨特的學術課程融合而聞名，重點是藝術和技術。它為來自不同背景和社會經濟地位的兒童提供了出色的教育。

Due to the pandemic, the school saw a significant decline in student enrollment and donations, which put a strain on the institution’s finances. As

由於大流行，學校的入學率和捐款大幅下降，這給該機構的財務帶來了壓力。作為
