I know not many of us sympathize with our old shitcoiner friend, but something ugly is in the air.

I wonder if he knew they were coming after him. If he did, I would think he'd live in a nation that doesn't cooperate with the US.
And some people pretend the IRS doesn't have guns and use force. LOL. They are thugs just like any gang.

Certainly seems like they are attacking from all angles. Maybe Roger should have held his bitcoin instead of selling it for bitcoin cash.

He would have been better off, of course. I think, though, that this is part of the "then they fight you" phase. I doubt they even know the difference between bitcoin and bitcoin cash. And even if they do, the normies exposed to this fud don't.

No way all these things are happening at the same time by coincidence.
- Samurai guys
- Roger Ver
- CZ
Here's the thing. There are plenty of people in this world that are wrong. They may have wrong opinions. They may be responsible for doing bad things. That doesn't change the fact that the US government is wrong in how it handles human beings. None of these people deserve to be in a cage or even be threaten with that. That's my opinion and hope many share it. Ver was/is wrong about bitcoin and did a lot of shady stuff from what I hear. Same goes for CZ. What the US government is doing to all of these guys is meant to incite fear in the weak and strong alike. They want to steal more money from more people. These guys are targets. We are firmly in the fight you stage now.

This is definitely not because of him selling BTC for BCH. He got into this shit by renouncing his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and not properly doing his "exit taxes".
Bloody details here:

btw. this investigation pretty much doxxed him and I wonder how it is possible that they published such details like his bitcoin adresses...

Hindsight is 20/20, but yes -- there were a number of missed opportunities that wouldn't have led to today's outcome.

All this is very suspicious, everything is happening at once, either they are looking for a market crash or something else, or both at the same time it is more likely.

Are there similar precedents in the history of Bitcoin?

I don't know but really this has little to do with bitcoin. The IRS goes after people on the grounds of tax evasion. That said, the timing tells me this was planned to happen near the time they took down the rest.
