I don’t like him, his whole Bitcoin fork to BCH shenanigans during the fork war leaves a bad taste. I think he’s a narcissistic control freak but I think the US & IRS should leave him alone. He’s followed everything required of him & they should really just leave him be.

Having this opinion means you don't understand what happened with the blocksize wars or you don't understand how open source projects work.  There is no reason to be mad at Roger Ver for forking Bitcoin.  The entire business community in Bitcoin was wanting bigger blocks and the development team didn't keep their word to increase the blocksize once they tricked miners into activating segwit.

Roger didn't do anything wrong (maybe Bitcoin.com selling BCH as "Bitcoin" wasn't the best move).  You can even see in his emails he was telling his lawyer to take every precaution to make sure this didn't happen to him.  I think they're just punishing him in any way they can, which right now is keeping him locked in a hotel in Spain.  Just let the guy live his life.  He's done more for Bitcoin adoption than probably 99.999% of the users on this forum.
