“Roger Ver left the US in 2014. Roger Ver renounced his citizenship in 2014. He’s charged with not paying a $48 million bribe to the US government after selling some of his Bitcoin in 2017, when he was neither a citizen of, nor resident in, the US. In 1931, Germany’s Weimar Republic instituted something called the Reichsfluchtsteuer — ‘Reich Flight Tax’ — to prevent wealthy Germans from going, and taking their money, elsewhere … or at least to grab much of that money. After the Nazis rose to power in 1933, the tax was instead used to seize everything of value from Jews …. so far as I can tell, even the Third Reich didn’t display anything like the sheer gall and temerity of the US regime, chasing down emigrants years later and extorting additional money from them. Hitler’s goons limited themselves to things like pawing through emigrants’ luggage and stealing their jewelry.” (05/04/24)
