yes with how he handled things, that really warrants a class action lawsuit, though I doubt they would really get into it. What he did from a consumer's perspective is fraudulent and you can't defend that no matter how you put it in the court. Nobody owns bitcoin nor bitcoin cash, sure, but misleading people to buy your 'product' (technically, Roger Ver is the face of bitcoin cash and he advertises the hell out of it) while they wanted to buy another product is fraud. I hope that they really are enthusiastic in getting this thing off so as to put Ver behind bars. A once smart man lowered to the ranks of a scum.

He most certainly seemed once upon a time a smart man who had ethics and morals. According to some websites he gave up his US citizenship and moved to St. Kitts & Nevis maybe before he became a Bitcoin millionaire. All this supposedly because he did not agree with various principles of the rule of law in his USA.

How he morphed in to what many people see as anti-bitcoin and bitcoin-hating is a question beyond the fact he could not and never will wrestle control of bitcoin.org and Satoshi's vision of bitcoin. Ver trying to sell Bitcoin Cash as "the real bitcoin as Satoshi has visualised" is about as true as the "Hey Diddle Diddle" nursery rhyme where the cow jumped over moon.
