Then the part where he changed citizenship and was required to pay exit tax - like WTF? The country bullies you, you decide you don't want to live there anymore, so they want you to pay them for leaving? What kind of law is that? I'm sure many people aren't even aware of such rule.

FYI: The US 'exit tax' has been in effect since 2008 and folks in the USA with money have always been well aware of it. Ver obviously was and paid what he thought would be enough to throw the IRS off his scent. Problem is -- he apparently took it further and lied about his companies BTC holdings while extracting a sizeable portion of it for himself.

Yup, Ver is obviously guilty, but I'm amazed how ridiculous some of these laws are. I lived in a few countries in my life, traveled a bit and stupid laws and government oppression always make the rebel in me scream. I wouldn't put someone in prison for hiding his bitcoin, that's for sure, especially that bitcoin wasn't treated as money and was largely ignored and treated like fool's gold back in 2013 and 2014 when he was leaving the US.
