REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/Illustration/File PhotoAn early investor in bitcoins dubbed the"Bitcoin Jesus" has been arrested in Spain on U.S. charges that he evaded paying at least $48 million in taxes, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Tuesday.
Bryan Skarlatos, a lawyer for Ver, said in a statement he was"very disappointed and surprised" by Ver's arrest while traveling in Spain. In 2014, Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship after becoming a citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis, which prosecutors said had tax consequences for him. The day he became a St. Kitts and Nevis citizen, Ver and two companies he owned, MemoryDealers.com and Agilestar.com, held about 131,000 bitcoins that at the time each traded for about $871, valuing them at more than $114 million.
