I have massive respect for the man Roger. I have read his history and the excellent job he did with bitcoin in its early days. However, as far as I know, no one is above the law and it must be respected. And from what theymos has written about him, he seem like a great guy who kinda lost his way. I think he may have made a lot of mistakes and burnt a lot of bridges in his pursuits which did not align with BTC. We seeing cyberpunk fiction beginning to play out just like in an idealist novel.

He didn't murder anybody though. Somehow tax-evasion is in a gray area for me. Since the gov uses that tax money in a very stupid way most of the time, I too don't like paying taxes. On the top of that, they print money which is another tax. If they are collecting taxes, why are they printing money? If they are printing money why are they collecting taxes? This shit is so broken.

I expected Roger to be more clever than that. He owns a company, his net worth is millions of dollars and he is getting arrested for not being careful. What a way to go. He probably didn't do any of these willingly unlike McAfee.
