U.Today – Roger Ware, the online entrepreneur known as Jesus in the past, gave an online interview to American journalist Tucker Carlson, who published it on his X account on Tuesday.
In this interview, Roger Ware shares his version of why he was arrested in Spain half a year ago and his view of what Bitcoin has become so far. He also answered Carlson’s question about who Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, is.
As U.Today reports, on April 30, Roger Ware was detained in Spain at the request of the US Department of Justice on charges of tax evasion and causing a loss of “at least $48 million” to US revenues. Service.
Ware claims to know the real reason for his arrest, and it is not taxes
At the beginning of the interview, Tucker Carlson openly stated that he does not believe in the “tax evasion” reason when celebrities are arrested outside the United States. He asked Ware if there might be another reason why the US government would want to put him in prison for the rest of his life – for 109 years.
Ware believes his arrest is not related to taxes, but rather to his support for Bitcoin in the earliest days of cryptocurrency – and his current claims that Bitcoin gives people no privacy in their purchasing power.
Ware says he knew such action could be dangerous, so in 2014 he renounced his American citizenship and became a citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean through its investment program.
Ware said his arrest came a decade after he renounced his US citizenship and just months after the release of his book, The Bitcoin Hijacking, in which he shared his belief that Bitcoin is now not what Satoshi Nakamoto had in mind when he created it. ga.
“Who’s Satoshi?” Ware replies
When Carlson asked Roger Ware who Satoshi was, Bitcoin Jesus said he didn’t know and believed no one in the world really did.
