The Uniited States tax laws are insane. Despite several attempts to try and wrap my head around it, I hit a brick wall every time. It seems like a design intended to indict people rather than make the process easier for them, you have to figure out what to do and when to do it, otherwise you'll face prosecution.
Let's see as more details unfold regarding this case.

As someone who worked with helping people file their taxes in the US, I understand why there is a huge number of citizens that do not know how to file for their taxes and would rather pay other people to do it for them, even if it means that it might be an additional amount equivalent to the tax that they should be paying. This goes out to individuals that are earning modestly and quite 'comfortably', but I'm not certain about people who are earning millions from whatever venture they have.
I'm pretty sure Roger Ver knows his taxes. He may have forgotten that he's still obligated to pay his taxes (that's how absurd it is) even though in his mind, he no longer has this obligation to the US.
