Good question. Yes the whole operation is fishy. My suspicion is this (and you should read his whole history to understand what am I saying now)
  • Roger Ver was "recruited" long time ago by gov agencies, when he was a "strong" advocate for Bitcoin. Yes, he's a real Bitcoin OG, no doubt about that. He had some troubles with US gov and he run in Japan. Somehow I think the blackmailed him and forced to join forces to undermine Bitcoin.
  • So like that Roger Ver started the "block size war" and then forked into BCH. The whole campaign was to create confusion into the noobs so they cannot differentiate BCH from BTC. Proof - bitcoin dot com site (owned by Roger). A lot of attacks and campaigns (read the book "block size war") pre-fork with manipulation of fees and all kind of tactics.
  • All this bullshit arrest because he didn't paid some bullshit taxes is just a cover up to make him disappeared. His role was finished now. They do not need him anymore.
OK, I understand completely, now! This was, more than likely, a state FUD operation. The banksters and the state work hand-in-glove on a lot of operations. Either the banksters are covering the state or the state is covering the banksters. Sometimes you need a program to tell them apart. So, he probably got hooked into this operation to FUD the bitcoin world because of his reputation, no? This goes to show you what reputation means in some cases. You have to keep your head on a swivel at all times.

Something like that. I suggest you to dig deeper into this subject around Roger Ver, Silk Road, Samourai. IMHO are all linked and all roads goes to gov agencies.
