羅斯·烏爾布里希特（Ross Ulbricht）是唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）最近赦免的絲綢之路創始人，他加入了支持羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver）的呼籲，暱稱為“比特幣耶穌”（Bitcoin Jesus），以提高他在美國面臨稅收欺詐指控的加密貨幣。

“當我沮喪的時候，羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver）在我身邊，需要幫助。現在，羅傑（Roger）需要我們的支持，”烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）在X上說，並補充說：“沒有人應該將餘生的餘生花在稅收上。”

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the darknet marketplace Silk Road who was recently pardoned by former President Donald Trump, has joined calls to support Roger Ver, who is facing tax fraud charges in the United States.

Darknet Marketplace Silk Road的創始人Ross Ulbricht最近被前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）赦免。

Ver, known as "Bitcoin Jesus" for his early promotion of cryptocurrency, was arrested in Spain in April 2024 while attending a crypto conference. He is awaiting extradition to the U.S., where he faces up to 109 years in prison for crimes he insists he did not commit, alleging he is a victim of politically motivated “lawfare.”

Ver，被稱為“比特幣耶穌”，因為他早期促進加密貨幣，於2024年4月在西班牙參加加密會議時在西班牙被捕。他正在等待引渡到美國，在那裡他因堅持沒有犯下的罪行而面臨109年監禁，指控他是出於政治動機的“法律”的受害者。

"Roger Ver was there for me when I was down and needed help. Now Roger needs our support,” Ulbricht said on X, a decentralized social media platform. “No one should spend the rest of their life in prison over taxes.”

烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）在一個分散的社交媒體平台X上說：“羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver）在我失望的時候就在我身邊。

Ver's campaign draws parallels to Trump's recent pardon of Ulbricht, but reactions from the crypto community remain polarized. Some sympathize with Ver's claims, while others argue he deserves to face legal consequences.

Ver的競選活動與特朗普最近的烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）赦免相似，但加密貨幣社區的反應仍然兩極分化。有些人同情VER的主張，而另一些人則認為他應該面對法律後果。

Tesla CEO Elon Musk dismissed the plea, pointing out Ver's 2014 renouncement of U.S. citizenship and declaring, "No pardon for Ver." Following Musk's tweets, prediction market Polymarket materially lowered Ver's odds of receiving a pardon.

特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）駁回了這一辯護，指出Ver 2014年放棄了美國公民身份，並宣布“沒有赦免”。在Musk的推文之後，預測市場多頭市場大大降低了Ver的赦免機率。

The U.S. Treasury alleges that Ver failed to report his full assets, including Bitcoin holdings, to avoid paying exit taxes upon renouncing his citizenship. Additional accusations claim his businesses in the U.S. failed to meet tax obligations after his departure.

美國財政部聲稱，VER未能報告他的全部資產，包括比特幣持有，以避免在放棄公民身份時繳納退出稅款。其他指控聲稱，他在美國的業務未能履行稅款。

Ver counters that these charges are part of a broader effort to suppress his promotion of Bitcoin and its disruptive potential.

VER反駁說，這些指控是壓制他對比特幣及其破壞性潛力的更廣泛努力的一部分。

Ver's supporters draw comparisons to Ulbricht's case, framing both as victims of overreach by U.s. authorities. Critics, however, note key differences. Ulbricht already served a decade of a life sentence before receiving clemency, whereas Ver has not yet faced trial. Additionally, Ulbricht has shown remorse for his involvement in Silk Road, while Ver insists he's innocent and keeps questioning the legitimacy of the charges against him.

Ver的支持者與Ulbricht的案件進行了比較，這兩者都作為美國當局過度拋棄的受害者。但是，批評家注意關鍵差異。烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）在接受寬大處理之前已經服刑十年，而VER尚未面臨審判。此外，烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）對他參與絲綢之路的參與表示re悔，而Vers則堅持認為自己是無辜的，並不斷質疑針對他的指控的合法性。

Ver's contributions to the cryptocurrency ecosystem are widely acknowledged, but his hardline stance against cooperation with government investigations and refusal to settle with the IRS fueled skepticism. Some suggest Ver's unwillingness to pay what he owes could be a matter of principle—or simply a lack of liquidity.

VER對加密貨幣生態系統的貢獻得到了廣泛的認可，但他反對與政府調查合作的強硬立場，並拒絕與美國國稅局的持懷疑態度。有些人建議Ver不願支付他所欠的錢可能是原則上的問題，或者只是缺乏流動性。

While Ulbricht was serving two life sentences for running Silk Road—a punishment widely seen as excessive—Ver's case involves tax evasion, which some view differently.

儘管烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）因經營絲綢之路而被判處兩次無期徒刑（這種懲罰被廣泛認為是過度的懲罰），但案件涉及逃稅，有些看法有所不同。

Ver's past controversies, including his role in the “Blocksize Wars” that led to the Bitcoin-Bitcoin Cash split, also divided opinions within the crypto community.

VER過去的爭議，包括他在導致比特幣 - 比蒂幣現金拆分的“阻止戰爭”中的作用，也使加密貨幣社區內的意見分歧。

Meanwhile, Trump's stance on crypto and pardons is fueling speculation. According to Polymarket, Ver has a 10% chance of receiving a Trump pardon within the first 100 days of the new administration. This puts him behind whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, but ahead of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, whose parents are also reportedly seeking clemency for their son.

同時，特朗普對加密貨幣和赦免的立場正在加劇猜測。根據Polymarket的說法，VER在新政府的前100天內有10％的機會獲得特朗普赦免。這使他落後於舉報人愛德華·斯諾登（Edward Snowden）和朱利安·阿桑奇（Julian Assange），但領先於FTX創始人山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman Fried），據報導，他的父母也在為兒子尋求寬大處理。
