“The US government is attempting to imprison Roger Ver for 109 years for the crime of following his lawyers’ advice. His case represents an unprecedented attack on attorney-client privilege that threatens everyone who relies on professional counsel. Today, Ver sits silenced in Spain, unable to defend himself publicly, while prosecutors use his own lawyers’ records against him—records that show his meticulous attempts to follow the law. This isn’t just about cryptocurrency; it’s about whether any American can safely consult legal counsel without fear of prosecution. If this precedent stands, seeking professional advice could become evidence of criminality.” (11/08/24)
