Ver was arrested in February 2024 at a crypto conference in Barcelona. He faces charges tied to $240 million in cryptocurrency sales and an exit tax following his renunciation of US citizenship in 2014.

His legal team has described the indictment as politically motivated, arguing that authorities should focus on recovering unpaid taxes rather than pursuing harsh legal action.

The case has drawn support from notable crypto figures like Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin, who called for clemency and highlighted concerns about excessive enforcement.
