慷慨大方的灯塔：支持者重点介绍罗杰·韦尔（Roger Ver）的全球慈善遗产

当比特币先驱罗杰·弗吉尔（Roger Ver）与税收有关的指控引入美国时，全球同事们正在焦点他的匿名慈善事业

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.

加密货币先驱罗杰·韦尔（Roger Ver）将面临100年徒刑，如果被定罪，包括美国罪名和提交虚假纳税申报表。这些指控源于VER 2014年的公民放弃，他说这是为了避免被选为美军。

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，目前正在与西班牙引渡的斗争，强烈否认这些指控是违宪和出于政治动机的。他的法律团队进一步辩称，美国政府不当访问了特权律师 - 客户通讯。

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

现在，全球同事正在强调Ver的不同方面 - 他的匿名慈善事业跨越了救灾，癌症研究并赋予服务不足的社区能力。

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

从飓风和地震到尼日利亚的陷入困境的非营利学校和技术教育，VER的贡献变化很大。

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大流行期间，安提瓜的一所小型非营利性学校岛学院一直在努力维持生计。但是，由于匿名捐助者的慷慨捐助，学校能够继续向社区中的儿童提供教育。

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

后来，捐助者被揭示为罗杰·韦尔（Roger Ver），这是一个以其直言不讳的性质和对新兴技术的贡献而闻名的加密货币先驱。

“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大流行期间，安提瓜的一所小型非营利性学校Island Academy正在努力维持生计。我们已经看到学生入学率和捐款大幅下降，我们担心我们可能不得不为永久关闭大门。

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.

这所学校提供了一种独特的学术课程，重点是艺术和技术，在过去的几年中，入学率一直在稳步下降。这部分是由于该岛的经济低迷，这导致父母无法负担学校的学费。

“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.”

谢尔曼说：“我们为为来自不同背景和社会经济地位的儿童提供出色的教育而感到自豪。” “但是我们担心如果没有额外的支持，我们将无法履行我们的任务。”

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.

就在学校达到关键时刻时，他们从一个意外的消息来源收到了大量捐款。希望保持匿名的捐助者通过相互熟悉了解了学校的困境。

“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.”

谢尔曼说：“我们非常感谢捐助者的慷慨大方，这是我们最需要的时候到达的。” “捐赠使我们能够保持大门的打开状态，并继续向安提瓜的孩子们提供优质的教育。”

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.

捐助者的身份是一个严密的秘密，只有一小圈的人知道。但是，捐赠后，谣言开始在岛上流传。许多人认为，捐助者是一位外国慈善家，他热衷于支持发展中国家的教育。

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.

但事实更令人惊讶。捐助者就是罗杰·韦尔（Roger Ver），他是一个加密货币先驱，他曾与美国政府涉及与税收有关的指控进行过几次法律斗争。

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年放弃了美国公民身份，他被美国政府指控未对加密货币收入缴税，并对其纳税申报表作出虚假陈述。维尔在整个案件中保持了自己的纯真，认为这些指控是出于政治动机，并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.

经过长期的法律斗争，VER的案件到达了西班牙最高法院，该法院裁定支持将VER引渡到美国接受审判。该决定结束了一个跨越了将近七年的传奇，并涉及大西洋双方的法律团队。

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.

当准备引渡时，他的支持者在他周围集会，组织抗议活动并反对他们认为不公正的事物。他们强调了VER对加密货币社区的贡献，以及他为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坦率地谈到了他如何为靠近他心脏的各种原因做出贡献，包括癌症研究和纽约的食品银行。

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.

阿克斯顿还提到了他为德克萨斯州哈维飓风和佛罗里达州的玛丽亚以及墨西哥普埃布拉的地震做出的贡献。

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.

这些贡献跨越了几年，展示了阿克斯顿致力于回馈有需要的人的承诺。他帮助受到自然灾害和其他危机影响的人的努力证明了他广泛的慈善事业。

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.

除了他对癌症研究和救灾的贡献外，阿克斯顿还谈到了一个靠近他内心的特殊项目。在Covid-19大流行期间，阿克斯顿了解了安提瓜的一所非营利学校，这种学校因大流行的灾难性影响而挣扎。

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.
