In 2002, Ver pleaded guilty after selling explosives, marketed as Pest Control Report 2000, on eBay, which the U.S. Department of Justice described as "dealing in explosives without a license", and he was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison

that hardly makes him a mass murderer. just a dumb thing to do to get ahead which a bunch of other people were probably doing too.

the thing that makes this 'debate' eternal and unsolvable is that everyone is 100% convinced they're doing the right thing. you can't really talk anyone out of that, especially the longer it carries on.

Roger Ver is a very mysterious figure in my eyes with quite some criminal energy. I'd rather have some nerdy ugly looking tech or maths dude having the lead over projects with real global impact. Roger Ver seems more like a playboy than a thought leader. Young, repeating himself over and over again. Not really in-depth knowledge about technology. In conflict with law. A lot of money and so on and so forth. It's just weird.
