John, The Libertarian National Committee has announced today the launch of its new Anti-Lawfare Initiative (ALI), which is aimed at researching and exposing the illegal and political abuse of the US justice system against American citizens. The initial candidate for pardon as cited loudly, and publicly, by the Libertarian Party is Ross Ulbricht, who has spent the past decade in Federal prison as a political prisoner, unjustly punished for creating a market
system outside of Federal oversight. After petitioning President-elect Donald Trump for his release, and receiving assurances from Pres. Trump that Ross Ulbricht would be freed, the LNC has now undertaken efforts to expand the list of prisoners to be released, beginning with Roger Ver, AKA “Bitcoin Jesus.” “Roger Ver's attorney had his door kicked in and was questioned at gunpoint by law enforcement agents. If this case is allowed to go forward, it will destroy attorney-client privilege for everyone," said LNC Chair Angela McArdle. "No one is safe until Roger Ver's case has been dropped. I
am confident that President Trump will understand the gravity of this situation because he's been the target of lawfare so many times, and I am happy to help lead the charge on freeing Roger and shutting down this lawfare case.” The LNC will utilize Freedom of Information Act requests to expose who, and how, targeted citizens like Roger Ver have been abused by the US justice system and why. The Party will then petition members of Congress, the DOJ and the Office of the President directly for release, in conjunction with coordinated public outreach campaigns. The Party is actively seeking volunteers to aid in this mission. Those interested may email

Roger Ver, aka “Bitcoin Jesus,” is a libertarian, anti-war activist and supporter of cryptocurrency and alternative currency markets. Mr. Ver currently faces charges amounting to 109 years in Federal prison. His “crime” stems from the IRS utilizing retroactive application of law on earnings from cryptocurrency, which is patently unlawful, claiming he owed back taxes. Despite Roger’s efforts to settle the matter, both the IRS and Department of Justice refused to communicate with Mr. Ver, or even clarify the amount owed. Roger
Ver renounced his US citizenship in 2014, and left the United States. However, his political persecution continues in 2024. |
