Shortly after the collapse of FTX last December, Bankman-Fried was charged with campaign finance violations as well as fraud. Now, SBF is getting away with it. Our ‘justice’ system is a fraud.

In just under 10 months, the market crash impacted former FTX and crypto investors. Congress approved $113 billion in Ukrainian aid, which crushed the dollar and the middle class. Collusion between Citadel, FTX, Gary Gensler, Marc Elias, and the NSA was uncovered, with objectives to destroy crypto, rig elections, and usher in The Great Reset. Connections were established between various entities, including Israeli Defense Force, Dacey Montoya, Sam Bankman-Fried, and CIA. Arrest warrants for Dacey Montoya and Amber McReynolds could alter America's course. Barbara Fried, mother of Sam Bankman-Fried, pushed for Democrat victories in the 2020 elections.

NEW: FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried is facing 100+ years in federal prison after he was found guilty of all charges brought forward by the DOJ. However, what remains unclear is whether action will be taken by the DOJ to investigate the over $70 million dollars SBF donated to high-profile U.S. politicians and super PACs over the past two years. Throughout the 2022 midterm cycle alone, SBF donated $40 million to Democrat-aligned PACs. Before his scheme was exposed, the crypto scammer announced his intentions to give $1 BILLION to Democrat candidates across the 2024 cycle. Joe Biden, whose 2020 campaign received $5 million from SBF, has yet to make any move to return the dirty money. Interestingly enough, SBF held meetings with a top Biden advisor, Steve Riccheti, as recently as April and May of this year. Another prominent Democrat with close ties to the crypto defrauder is California Rep. Maxine Waters. During a congressional hearing led by the U.S. Finance Committee, on which Waters serves on, she was videotaped blowing a kiss to SBF. Your politicians are bought and paid for.

Gary Gensler's plan to classify Ether as a security is seen as a cover-up of the SEC's corruption involving Ethereum. The plan would conceal illicit activities, including favoritism towards Ethereum and conflicts of interest. Gensler's attempt to erase the history of corruption and criminal activity involving Ethereum and the SEC is concerning. It is important to hold everyone involved accountable.

@StevenNerayoff - Steven Nerayoff

🚨GENSLER’S PLAN: THE FREE PASS SPEECH TO THE GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD🚨 📜 THE PLAN: Gary Gensler's plan is designed to conceal the SEC's corruption involving Ethereum. Gensler gives Prometheum a 'magic bullet' license which offers Ether as a security, pretends his hand is forced (by his own actions) & then justifies classifying Ether as a security with the move to proof of stake despite it being deemed as such since the ICO. 🙈🙊🙉 COVERUPS: A ‘few’ of the illicit activities Gensler’s plan would coverup include: - SEC’s favoritism to Ethereum & Prometheum, both effectively controlled the CCP affiliated entity Wanxiang. - Gensler’s admission of Lubin’s speculative ICO purchases which first turned ETH into a security. - Hinman’s DAO Report (coverup for the DAO Hack) clear conflicts of interests & Free Pass Speech. - Ethereum’s internal docs showing it wasn’t decentralized. - The motives behind the Ripple enforcement action. - Why Gensler said XRP (and not Ether) was a security while Chair of the CFTC. - The SEC’s illegally lead false prosecution to silence me which I defeated & exposed 🤫 ✏️ THE SEC PURGE: Gensler is attempting to conceal the trail of corruption & criminal activity involving Ethereum, Lubin, Vitalik, the SEC, himself, and others prior to the Merge in 2022. Like Ethereum’s planned ‘Purge’ to erase data from the blockchain older than one year, Gensler is attempting to erase all this history. 🤯 ACCOUNTABILITY: Ethereum has been tainted since the day of the ICO & appears to have colluded with the SEC to continue the charade of decentralization. To deem ETH a security from 2022 onwards & ignore all the illicit actions prior is a coverup of unprecedented proportions right in our faces. This cannot be allowed & everyone who participated in these actions must be held accountable. 🚀💣 https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/02/07/sec-prometheum-ethereum-broker-dealer-gary-gensler-coinbase/

The Ethereum Foundation is facing allegations of a government conspiracy to silence a whistleblower and monopolize cryptocurrency. Steven Nerayoff, a co-creator of Ethereum, claims he was targeted by the government after disagreeing about the internal structure of the project. The government obtained an arrest warrant for Nerayoff but later dismissed the case. These events have raised concerns about government interference in the crypto industry.

@JamesOKeefeIII - James O'Keefe

EXPOSING THE CRYPTO MAFIA PART 1, ETHEREUM: Exploring allegations U.S. Government Agencies Attempt to Silence Whistleblower and Monopolize Crypto #ETHGATE In the complicated evolving field of cryptocurrency, Ethereum Foundation @ethereum, which is second only to Bitcoin @Bitcoin, is embroiled in a dispute that involves allegations of multiagency government conspiracy to prosecute a whistleblower for a fabricated crime to monopolize cryptocurrency on behalf of the government. Ethereum uses utility tokens (ETH) on a purportedly decentralized platform ensuring its network operates autonomously and transparently. The internal decentralized structure is the defining aspect of cryptocurrencies because only cryptocurrency networks that are sufficiently decentralized are not considered securities by the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) @SECGov and thus would not require regulation and disclosures. ETH are not currently considered securities because they are not tied to a central entity’s profits or efforts. One of the people first involved with Ethereum Foundation is Steven Nerayoff @StevenNerayoff, a savant with over 40 patents in the AI and crypto sectors. Nerayoff claims he was a co-creator of Ethereum by providing initial capital and frameworks. The documents confirm he had initially declined what today would be considered a few billion dollars in Ether. Nerayoff states he was motivated to help the Ethereum project without initial compensation because he believed in the larger vision of a decentralized network that had the ability to help change the world for the greater good and to protect the project and people involved by eliminating any conflicts of interest. When Nerayoff disagreed about the internal structure of Ethereum, his Ethereum email was cut off. It was after this action that Nerayoff claims things took a strange turn. Nerayoff hired a consultant named Michael Hlady, who used the alias Michael Peters, to do background checks for him. Hlady at various times falsely claimed to be a former member of the United States Military, a former government agent who had worked for the NSA @NSAGov, and the FBI @FBI and CIA @CIA. Hlady made comments to persons in a cryptocurrency deal Nerayoff was involved with that laid groundwork for the FBI to charge Nerayoff with extortion. The FBI then obtained an arrest warrant but not a search warrant to search Nerayoff’s house and interrogate him about the players in the crypto world. FBI agents allegedly told Nerayoff, “we want dozens of convictions.” Very uncharacteristically, after pursuing Nerayoff in court, the government moved to dismiss its case against him stating it was “unable to prove the charges in the Indictment beyond a reasonable doubt.” These events have led people in the crypto community to believe the government targeted Nerayoff in an attempt to capture the top figures in the crypto industry and monopolize cryptocurrency systems for the government. Stay tuned as OMG delves deeper into this unfolding story.

Steven Narioff, a key figure in the development of Ethereum, declined a significant amount of money in ether when the cryptocurrency was founded. He believed in the vision of a decentralized network and wanted to eliminate conflicts of interest. However, his actions have caused controversy in the crypto community, with allegations of conspiracy and government targeting. The dispute revolves around the centralization versus decentralization debate. There are also claims of attempts to control and manipulate the Ethereum network. The involvement of various individuals, including Joe Lubin and Michael Haledi, further complicates the situation. The FBI's actions and charges against Narioff have raised suspicions of a coordinated effort to prosecute him. The next installment will delve into allegations of connections to the Chinese Communist Party and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Speaker 0: Meet Steven Narioff. Steven states he's one of the people who helped lay the groundwork for Ethereum. He's a savant with over 40 patents in the AI and crypto sectors. Ethereum is the world's 2nd largest crypto product by market capitalization and was the 1st considered blockchain to support smart contract functionality. What are smart contracts? Think of them as smart code. Logic that you can code into an application to do a certain thing. When Ethereum was founded about a decade ago, Steven Nerioff was talking to one of the heads of the Ethereum Foundation and declined what would today be considered a few $1,000,000,000 in ether, a grand total of 1,000,000 ether. This sum is calculated through contributor agreements, expense reimbursements and other investments that Naryoeff made at the time. Now, Steven Naryoeff states his motivation for helping this Ethereum project and not wanting to be paid was due to him believing in the larger vision of a decentralized network that had the ability to help change the world for the greater good. Narioff also states that he wanted to eliminate any conflicts of interest to protect the project and the people involved. That's why he claimed he wasn't interested in the money. Now Steven Narioff's cause has become something of an issue in the crypto community. So we decided to look into the documents back and forth between Nereof and some of the people involved in the founding of Ethereum to evaluate how credible he is and whether there's a possibility of conspiracy afoot by the United States government targeting him based upon what he stands for. People in the crypto community believe this is about centralization versus decentralization. And they wanted to control this man and his product. More on that in a minute. Steven Neri off claims he paid for a lot of expenses in New York city in 2014 due to his home and resources being a hub for the people involved at the inception of Ethereum. In one of these conversations in this document with a guy named Stefan Tual, chief communications officer, cofounder of Ethereum about expense reimbursement, there was a payment for a large office space and Steve did not ask for reimbursement. Now, some in the crypto community accusing Steven Nereof of profiting off of this to the tune of 1,000,000,000, but the documents show Steven didn't make any money at all. Steven Nereof also wrote a check as a guarantor on behalf of Ethereum because nobody was credit worthy except apparently for Steven Nereof. A guy named Anthony DiOrio, another co founder, would later vouch for Steven's role offering house, financial assistance, and more. It was around this time that a man named Joe Lubin, the chief operations officer for Ethereum, had a call with Steven Nerioff where he was talking about how with cryptocurrencies, there isn't a trail. Speaker 1: Yeah. Careful what you put in your emails because, you know, I mean, those you know, you don't know who's gonna be keeping those and you don't know Speaker 2: Exactly. And again, as we've discussed, there's a tension between opening, between running a, an open, transparent organization and, protecting ourselves. And so may maybe we agree to be open and transparent, except for everything from 90 days ago and and, past because it's all gone. Sort of like the way cryptocurrencies work. You didn't know. You know? There isn't a a trail if you don't want there to be. Speaker 1: I mean, look. I mean, look. Speaker 0: Now why is that relevant? Well, it matters because some people think that that is not how cryptocurrencies are supposed to work, that things shouldn't be deleted, that there should be a trace and there was kind of a fundamental disagreement there, sort of like a schism between these two founding people, one believing in radical transparency, the other believing in you can delete stuff after 90 days. I've had it with all my personal new unplugged phone. Protect your privacy. Get your very own unplugged phone. Go to unplugged.com/omg. That's unplugged.com/omg. Take your privacy back, unplugged.com/omg. Now around the same exact time of that phone call, which was recorded, Joseph Lubin sent Steven Nary off an email about leadership discussions of employees versus volunteers. It appears Joseph Leubin was giving Steven a heads up. They would take away his access to his Ethereum email, cutting Steven Nereof off from the Ethereum Foundation in about 2016. Steven then followed up that his email was disconnected. He sent this email to the executive director of Ethereum Foundation saying his email was disconnected and explained how he structured the entire deal at Ethereum's conception. Then in January of 2018, a company called Consensus, a company founded by Joe Lubin's company and Steven Narioff, started to go on a public relations campaign against Steven Narioff with Evan Van Ness, an officer of Ethereum, claiming in an email newsletter that Steven Nereof is not a co creator of Ethereum. We reached out to Van Ness for comment this week and received a response. In fact, Van Ness sent O'Keefe Media Group screenshots that Steven Narioff made to Democratic senator from Rhode Island, Sheldon White house. Van Ness wrote to O'Keefe Media Group via x, quote, I don't know about you, but general experience with partisan left wingers is that they are less than honest. Van Ness is calling Steven Naryoeff a partisan left winger. We find that odd, and we find that interesting given Naryoeff is hanging around a bunch of right wingers and we believe supports Donald Trump. Naryoeff told us, and I'm paraphrasing, that he donated to Sheldon White House in order to develop crypto relationships in Rhode Island, though we can't confirm that to be true. Now let's go to June 2018. Bill Hinman, who at the time was the Director of Corporate Finance at the Securities and Exchange Commission, was working on a new legal framework to decide which cryptocurrencies would be classified as securities. The Independent Securities and Exchange Commission is a government agency which enforces the law against market manipulation. In his now infamous speech in the crypto community, Hemen declared that ether, Ethereum, was not a security, which was seen as a green light for the project and which some in the crypto community call a free pass. Money then started to pour into Ethereum as a result of this regulatory clarity. This is apparently the heart of the philosophical dispute between Steven Nereof and basically other people. If a network is sufficiently decentralized, it doesn't need disclosures that a security would require as it operates without a central authority controlling its operations. This decentralization is also what distinguishes utility tokens from securities as they are not tied to a central entities profits or efforts. Ethereum's token, Ether, operates under the concept of a utility token. Steven Nerioff claimed it was a digital product, meaning it has use, like a stamp. You have to use ether in order to interact with a network, sending assets, building applications. But if you buy too much of it, some argue, it loses its status as a product and it becomes a security. But this is where people in the crypto community think there is a concerted effort for the powers that be to go after an individual who wanted to keep Ethereum decentralized for the greater good. They wanted to control him. So therefore, they came after him. Now, we get to the good part. Stephen Nereof and his allies alleged that Joe Lubin, the COO, appeared to want to buy Ethereum as much as he could without it becoming a security, and that's evidenced by this deceptively vague language in the terms of service that Joe Lubin is alleged to have written himself. The lawyers made Lubin change it back. Notice he used the word discouraged instead of prohibitive for speculation purposes. Neri often claims that Lubin tried to capture the network. Now we've called and texted Joe Lubin for comment this week and received no response. We look forward to speaking with him, perhaps on our show on the inside. Vitalik Buterin from Ethereum Foundation put out a road map for next year called The Purge, which deletes all data that's older than 1 year. Bitcoin is immutable and many believe this is fundamental to cryptocurrency. So the question remains, why delete history unless you're trying to hide something? Skeptics argue it goes against the core tenant of blockchain. Again, this immutability aspect. Vitalik Buterin, who is a Canadian computer programmer, is dubbed as the founder of Ethereum. In 2021, Vitalik says that Steven, well, he's problematic. Speaker 3: Steven is definitely a separate case. Like, Ethereum before about 2015, like, there's there's definitely another founding team, and the founding team has, like, a lot of characters that today I definitely don't approve of. And at the time, I had no idea how to even, like, tell apart good people good people from bad people, and pretty much everyone seemed reasonable to me. And so, like, at the time, I definitely didn't have the ability to kind of detect the problems in someone like Steven Nerioff. And I think since then, Ethereum Foundation has gotten much better, since then. Speaker 0: We've also called and texted Vitalik, and he did not respond by the time of this airing of the story. We look forward to talking to him on our show on the inside. We're waiting to hear from you. Given the success of the Ethereum ICO, in May of 2017, an individual named Simon Yu asked Steven to do an ICO for a company called StormX worth about 2,250,000,000 Ethereum. Now this new deal in November of 2017 was based upon a mutual misunderstanding in the first deal that they struck in July of that year. The government would later claim that Steven Nudoroth extorted better terms, but emails showed that both sides had made mistakes in the first deal and it had to be redone. Then in September of 2019, the FBI obtained an arrest warrant, but not a search warrant. Steven Narioff alleges the FBI searched his house, went through boxes, looked through documents. Steven alleges the FBI put him in a van and told him, you're not going to see your kids for decades. They wanted information on the who's who in the crypto world. Now sitting on the floor of the van, Steven was told by FBI agents quote, we want dozens of convictions. In a declaration, March 30, 2018, Simon at this company's StormX agrees to provide Steven with 10,000 Ethereum secured against 70,000,000 loyalty bonus tokens Steve was to receive in addition to the 2,250,000,000 he was entitled to. Steve had to surrender 350,000,000 of the 700,000,000 tokens he was due to receive onto the loyalty program, Steve could repay the ether or have StormX take the collateral. There were no set terms on repayment, and the loan was interest free. To make things more nefarious and complicated, meet this man named Michael Haledi, who used the alias Michael Peters at various times falsely claimed to be a former member of the United States military, a former government agent who had worked for the NSA, the National Security Agency, the FBI, and the CIA. Kaledi was hired by Stephen Narioff to be a consultant to him to do background checks and other work regarding other people. This is all in court documents in this case. There you can see them. And there you see a photo of Michael Haledi. Haledi had sent a message to the folks at StormX saying that we're going to sue you. Haledi also said he would quote, destroy your community, which Steven Nerioff team claims is just an ugly metaphor, perhaps a figure of speech, but was not exactly extortion. Nevertheless, in this document filed under seal, an FBI agent in the Eastern District of New York named Jordan R Anderson said it was extortion. Nerioff stated in sub and substance that if John Doe and Jane Doe did not agree, then Mary off would among other things, sabotage the crowd sale, destroy the company. Also, this lady character who had very bizarrely told others that he had been shot and killed people and taken down ahead of state. He also said he was part of the Irish Republican army. Very strange. It's a mystery who this man really is and why he involved himself with Stephen Nari off in the first place. Nari off claims this Helady guy was hired to again assist him, but he became a sort of agent provocateur, the argument goes to cause issues that the government could then use against Steven Narioff. In May of 2018, at the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, Steve Haledi and this other person, Ari Yu, held a meeting that was surreptitiously recorded. In its transcript of that recording, Nereof goes back and forth with this Peter's hellady guy in front of you, an executive at storm x. Now in the transcript here, it says, I did not call threatening to destroy, but I do recall Michael Haledi did. The FBI stated in their sworn statement that Nariel affirmed that he knew of Michael Haledi's quote unquote, threat to destroy. And Michael Peters, a k a Michael Haledi said, yes, I did. Now Nerioff says he never threatened anybody, storm x, and the allegations against him weren't true. But the government did charge Stephen with a crime, and named Helady as his co conspirator based upon the text message that was sent by Haledi, apparently unbeknownst to Stephen, but on his behalf. Stephen was charged with extortion. The government said, he forced them to negotiate the original deal. But the court eventually granted the government's motion to dismiss the case against Stephen. With the judge saying, the government concedes that it is unable to prove the charges in the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt. So federal judge, Margo k Brody dismissed the indictment with prejudice. The government's goal, many in the crypto community now believe, was at any cost to capture a top figure in the crypto industry by putting pressure on this Steven Nureyof guy to turn over evidence about other leaders in the crypto industry. Now as an aside, the FBI raided my journalists' homes, and many believe that the true purpose behind that was to get access to my phone to know who I was talking to. These sources inside the government that I'm talking to and to chill those people out, which is an egregious violation of my first amendment rights. This might be a parallel we don't know. Stephen's case, many in the crypto community alleged, highlights a multi agency coordinated effort to prosecute a, what they would consider to be whistleblower for a crime they fabricated. And we must ask ourselves, why they would fabricate that crime? Could it be a conspiracy to monopolize crypto by the government on behalf of nefarious interests as well as an unprecedented fraud of the public conducted by these same parties through crypto. An effort to control an individual who, while flawed, possesses certain key virtues to keep the network decentralized? Or is it just a guy who may have done something perhaps, while not illegal, perhaps strange or wrong on some level, and or maybe this is a guy who surrounded himself with the wrong people, or maybe all of the above is true. We're not exactly sure, but we're digging into this further And we look for sources with documents and evidence like the ones we've aired in this video who can corroborate perhaps the next installment and perhaps the more important question, which involves allegations of connections to the Chinese Communist Party and the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission's involvement in which some are calling regulatory capture.

In 2016, I was CFO for Hillary Clinton's campaign. I hired individuals with anti-Trump backgrounds at the SEC. The SEC's first action against a SPAC was in September 2021. I raised concerns about investigations targeting Trump-related companies. I questioned if the SEC was being used to silence political rivals. I asked if Gensler spoke to the White House about the Truth Social investigation. I warned that using the SEC for political purposes could lead to consequences. Thank you, Chairman Gensler.

Speaker 0: In 2016, you were the CFO of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign. Is that correct? Speaker 1: I was proud to be chief financial officer to the Clinton campaign.

Speaker 1: He served his his nation well, and he was attorney general of New Jersey.

Chairman Gensler, is it also correct that your recently hired general counsel, Megan Barbero, was previously deputy general counsel under Nancy Pelosi and litigated 2 impeachment hearings against Donald Trump?

My point here, mister Gensler, is that you seem to have a very troubling pattern of hiring at an impartial regulatory agency. A lot of people who seem to have a vendetta against the former president. And I fear and I worry that that has implicated itself and and affected the policy of the SEC. Chairman Gensler, when did the SEC take its first enforcement action against the SPAC? Do you do you know the exact time? Speaker 1: Senator, we'd have to get back to you. I don't know what decade that was. Speaker 0: So according to my my, my my staff's research, September of 2021 is the first time that you guys at the SEC launched enforcement action against a SPAC. So I wanna recap just a few things, and then I wanna ask a question. First, you were Clinton's finance director in 2016, Hillary Clinton's finance director. 2nd, you hired anti Trump enforcement director Grewal in July of 2021. 3rd, you brought in miss Barbero, who was the litigator on 2 house impeachment trials against Donald Trump. You have another enforcement counsel who was married to Peter Strzok. In November of 2021, senator Warren urged you to investigate the SPAC merger involving Donald Trump's Truth Social Company. And in December of 2021, just a few weeks later, you guys launched investigation using a novel legal theory against the former president's social media company. That is some coincidence. Isn't it, mister Gensler? Speaker 1: Senator, it is good to meet you in person, but, I think you're you're not correct. Speaker 0: What was I not correct about there? Speaker 1: We follow the facts and the law wherever they are. And with regard to the SPAC field, the special purpose acquisition company field, there have been abuses, as you mentioned, 1 in 2018 that we found, and there are times that we do open investigations. So the problem that Speaker 0: I have, Chairman Gensler, is not with you investigating SPAC mergers. The problem is investigating a SPAC merger using a novel legal theory against your boss, Joe Biden's chief political rival. Also against the social media company, which, of course, at the time, Twitter and Facebook and every social media company had banned the former president. So you can make a pretty good argument that the SEC was using its enforcement powers to silence the chief political rival of the former, of the current president. Now let let me just offer another another observation here. We are rightfully concerned in this chamber, at least on my side of the aisle, about the weaponization of the Department of Justice. But I'm increasingly worried that we should be more worried about the weaponization of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It looks more and more like not an impartial regulatory body protecting investors and consumers, but a regulatory body that it's using its power to silence and immiserate political rivals of the current president of the United States. I have just one final question on that, chairman Gensler. Have you ever spoken to anyone at the White House about your investigation of Donald Trump's truth social? Speaker 1: Sir, I don't speak yes or no? I don't know. Sir, I'm gonna answer the question. I don't speak to the White House about anything in our enforcement group or investigations. Speaker 0: So I'm mindful of thank you for the the answer. I'm mindful of of of the time here. So let me just offer one final observation. I have I have little hope that I could persuade you that hiring committed partisans and using the regulatory powers of the SEC in a way that looks, and I think is politically partisan, is a true threat, to American democracy. But maybe I can appeal to your sense of self interest. If you guys use the SEC in such a politically motivated way, eventually, you're gonna be out of power. And I have to say, chairman Gensler, turnabout is fair play. Thank you, mister chairman.

I’m being extradited from Spain to the US for tax evasion, despite not being a citizen or living in the US during the alleged offenses. The real issue seems to be my promotion of Bitcoin as an alternative to government-controlled currencies. I renounced my US citizenship in 2014 to avoid political persecution and have advocated for cryptocurrencies since then. My recent arrest followed the publication of my book exposing how Bitcoin has been hijacked from its original purpose. The US government is using complex tax laws to target me, and I fear extradition could lead to life in prison. I believe cryptocurrencies empower individuals and challenge government control, which is why they are being suppressed. I urge people to support my cause and understand the importance of financial freedom through cryptocurrency.

Speaker 0: Roger, thanks a lot for joining us. So here's how I understood your story. This is what I read. You are being extradited from Spain, an ally in Western Europe, a NATO country, to the United States by the US Justice Department to face life in prison a 109 years for tax evasion. You're not a US citizen. The period that you're being charged with evading American taxes, you are not a US citizen. And so whenever I see a story that says the US government is extraditing somebody for tax evasion to put them in prison for a 109 years, my first thought is maybe it's not really about the taxes. Maybe there's something more to this story. Could there be another reason the US government is angry at you and wants to put you in prison for the rest of your life? Speaker 1: Yeah. To be honest, I think they're not really angry about taxes at all. I think they're just angry about my lack of obedience and and lack of, you know, kissing that ring. I was the 1st person in the entire world to start investing in the Bitcoin ecosystem and investing in businesses that made it easy for people to use Bitcoin as money and as cash for people all over the world. And I was promoting it since 2011 as, hey, stop using the US dollar, stop using euros, stop using yen, start using Bitcoin. We have an alternative in which each individual anywhere on the planet can be in charge of their own money completely without needing permission from any politician or any government anywhere in the world. And when you're a government that loves controlling people through the control of the money supply, that's very, very threatening to their control of the world. So, of course, they didn't like that at all. And, I knew that this sort of thing was dangerous, and I thought the safest path for me would be to not be a US citizen. So in 2014, I renounced my US citizenship and, became a, you know, a citizen of the world, effectively. But my new nationality is Saint Kitts, which is a wonderful little island in the Caribbean. And I thought that that would be safe for me, and I could promote Bitcoin from there and obey. Even though I may disagree with plenty of laws, I do my best to obey them because I know when you're advocating for things that change the world, governments don't like that, and they can come after you. So I told all my tax attorneys and everybody else we have to do everything perfect so that there's no room for the US government to give me a hard time about any of this. And more than a decade after I had already renounced my US citizenship, and just a couple of weeks after I published a book on the hijacking of Bitcoin, how it no longer works as peer to peer cash to the world, and it's been morphed into to something that is just a a digital asset that people are speculating on the price on rather than something that can compete with the US dollar and the euro and the yen for use as currency around the world. Suddenly, right after my book gets published that exposes how people claiming to work for intelligence agencies hijack Bitcoin to do that, suddenly I get arrested and tossed in jail in Spain and trying to be extradited to face more than a 100 years in prison. I'm 45 today. I I think my odds of being alive with conventional technology in 109 years from now aren't aren't looking too good. So effectively, to die in prison is what they want because they're so upset about the things I've been saying and the way I've been promoting cryptocurrency around the world. As as the founder of bitcoin.com, cofounder of XRP and Blockchain.com and a bunch of other companies, I literally seeded the entire first generation of cryptocurrency companies. And so they're furious at me for trying to to have something that can compete with the US dollar as the world's, medium of exchange and and currency. Speaker 0: Now I I should just add an editorial comment. I mean, I you know, as an I am an American citizen and will remain 1, I hope. So I'm I'm not against the US dollar in principle. It's the the mismanagement of the US dollar, I think, by the people in charge of it, the US government, the Federal Reserve, has made it kind of a a sketchy proposition long term. It's like their mismanagement has forced people to think about alternatives. And one of the the most promising alternatives was Bitcoin. And it was I remember very well since I'm 55. When it first appeared, the idea was this is a way for people to conduct business, to buy goods and services without being controlled, to have, as you said, control over their own money, autonomy. And it has become instead this asset class. And I'm very interested in how exactly that happened. And so if you wouldn't mind explaining the thesis of your book, what you saw, how that happened. You say subterfuge by the intel agencies played a role. I'll stop talking and let you explain what you saw. Speaker 1: Yeah. I think to get started on that, we'll have to back up more than 25 years ago. So when I was a very young man, I ran for political office as a Libertarian in California and, called for lower taxes, less government in every area and everywhere. And this was in the year 2000. And, for those of us that are old enough to remember, in the late 1990s, there was an incident in Waco, Texas where there was a religious group there with a bunch of adults but a bunch of kids, some of them 3, 4, 5 years old, like little kids. And even if the parents were religious nuts, the ATF and FBI literally burnt to death everybody in their home there and then posed for photos on top of the corpses of little kids. And that sort of thing is not okay, and the FBI and ATF are a bunch of murderers for murdering kids. And even if the parents are doing something illegal, you don't murder the kids over that, and that's exactly what they did. And so in the debate with the Republican and the Democratic candidates, I called the ATF a bunch of murderers that they are for having done that, and boy did they not like that. I was a 20, 21 year old kid that had 7 or 8 employees. My business was starting to take off, and I wound up being the only person in the entire world to be prosecuted for selling the firecracker on eBay, even though tons of other resellers were selling it. Cabela's Sporting Goods catalog was selling it. These were being sold all over the place. I was literally the only person in the entire history of the world to be prosecuted for selling those without a permit. And, it wasn't about the fact that I had sold them without a permit. It was they were mad about the things that I had said, and they even said as much. In one of the the discussions with, my attorneys and the prosecutors and the ATF agents, the ATF agent literally, at one point, he found his hand on the table and said, you didn't hear the things that he said, referring to me calling them murderers for literal I mean, if if you burn to death a bunch of kids, you're a murderer. And that's exactly what they did. And so I wound up, actually signing a plea deal, to do 10 months in federal prison. If I had taken it to trial and lost, which I would have because I was guilty of the laws written, I sold firecrackers without a license, I would have done 7 or 8 years in prison. And so at that point, I no longer felt safe in the US. I had been politically persecuted already, and so literally the day I was allowed to leave the US, I left. But the way I became a libertarian, I wasn't born a libertarian. Somehow, I found a a book by Ludwig von Mises, and then, you know, found some, Milton Friedman, and then later David Friedman, and then Murray Rothbard is the author that really changed my life, and it was just music to my ears recently hearing, Millet down in Argentina talking about how Murray Rothbard was also one of the economists that influenced his life, the most. And I I wanna urge anybody, pick up anything by Murray Rothbard. It'll change your entire view of the world. But in these books on economics, I learned about the origin of money and how something comes to be used as money, and it has to be durable, easily divisible, has to be, portable, has to be easily recognizable, has to be difficult to counterfeit, has to have these certain characteristics that make it usable as money. And so when I read these economics books, I thought, okay, that makes sense, that sounds plausible. But then when I went to federal prison, inside prison, everybody's using things as money. Everybody's buying and selling things with each other, and the things they're using are tobacco, postage stamps, and top ramen soups. And if you think about it, all those things have those characteristics. They're easily transportable, they're durable, they're easily recognizable, they all have some additional use case. Right? You can mail a letter, you can eat the soup, you can smoke the tobacco, and all those things just naturally, without any order from a guard or any inmate or anybody, they just naturally come to be used as money. And so then we fast forward, more than a decade later there, Bitcoin came along. And I had the the theoretical knowledge from from the books that I had read, and I had the practical experience from my time in prison. There was no doubt in my mind whatsoever that people were going to start using Bitcoin as money. And so I thought, oh, this is every libertarian's dream come true. Suddenly now we're gonna have a choice. And I'm not against the US dollar or the yen or the euro. I'm pro choice. I think people should be able to choose what form of money they want to use. And whether it's the dollar or the euro or the yen or Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency out there, I think people deserve the the right to have that choice, and, and I want to see that enabled. And so when Bitcoin came along, the first step was for me to buy a bunch of Bitcoin. I I bought my first Bitcoin when they were less than a dollar each. And then my business, memorydealers.com, became the first established business in the entire world to start accepting Bitcoin for payments, and we started advertising, we accept Bitcoin. Not a single customer paid us initially in Bitcoin, but it got worldwide media attention for the first time. And I remember it was in June of 2011, and in the course of 2, maybe 3 weeks, the price of Bitcoin went from around $3 a Bitcoin to $30 a Bitcoin. And that was the first time, in the history of Bitcoin up to that point in which it started to get some worldwide media attention. And what an interesting thing happened. So the main discussion forum where everybody up to that point was talking about Bitcoin was a website called bitcointalk.org. And suddenly when it was getting some media attention around the world and international newspapers, this forum that had worked wonderfully up to that point where people could discuss things became flooded with bots just posting comments that were just, you know, fluff and made literally, they they DDoSed the forum to the point that it was unusable, and anybody that came there because they heard about Bitcoin in the media that week, they weren't able to learn about it because there was just so many posts saying, you know, buy, sell, oh no, and just saying nothing of any substance whatsoever. So somebody out there literally made the forum unusable as early as 2011. And around that same time, we already know that the CIA was interested in Bitcoin because they're asking different Bitcoin developers to, hey, can you explain Bitcoin to us? So way back when the vast majority of the world hadn't even heard of Bitcoin yet, the CIA was looking into it, and somebody was actively preventing it from spreading as quickly as it otherwise could have by by shutting down the form effectively when so many new people were coming to Bitcoin to learn about it for the first time. And in the early days, everybody knew though, Bitcoin was supposed to be money for the world. Bitcoin was supposed to be used for payments as peer to peer cash for the world, and that's how people were using it. And, you know, I was doing payroll on it, and I was paying my suppliers overseas. I I hosted the 1st, Bitcoin meetup ever in China about it. Like, I was really doing my best to spread this all over the world, including, you know, paying for national radio ads for it. Like, it was really, really spreading. But then later, in, I believe, 2012, a person using the name John Dillon, who claimed to work for Intelligence, spent more than $10,000 I forget the exact amount, but a significant sum of money to start producing propaganda to trick people into thinking that by keeping the blocks on Bitcoin small, it would make it more decentralized. And literally, the exact opposite of the truth, the exact opposite of the way Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, designed it and promoted it, and the exact opposite of the way that people were using it. And nobody believed the propaganda initially. But then later, this giant wave of censorship took place. Anonymous people that nobody knows their real names managed to get control of all the main discussion platforms for Bitcoin. And then suddenly, one day overnight, nobody was even allowed to advocate for Bitcoin being used as money, and they they censored anybody that tried to do that. And initially, everybody saw through it, but then everybody that came to Bitcoin after the censorship began, they just started believing it. And and today, the main people that are out there promoting Bitcoin, they literally say, oh, Bitcoin shouldn't compete with the US dollar. Bitcoin, you shouldn't use it as money. You shouldn't use it to pay for things. Like, Bitcoin is just a digital asset. You should just hold it. And it's the exact opposite. They've they've through the censorship and the propaganda, they've literally hijacked Bitcoin, and I literally wrote an entire book about it. You can find more at hijackingbitcoin.com. It's available on Amazon and everywhere else. And lo and behold, just a couple of weeks after the the book is published, I get arrested, and now I'm facing a 109 years in in federal prison for having exposed the way in which Bitcoin was hijacked. And you you can think all day long that the the new version of Bitcoin that that people are promoting is better. Okay. But you can't admit that it wasn't hijacked. And luckily now we have thousands of different cryptocurrencies, and I support competition. Right? I'm not I was never a Bitcoin maximalist or any other cryptocurrency maximalist. I'm a utilitarian freedom maximalist. Whatever gives the most utility and is the most useful for the most people around the world to improve their lives and create more economic freedom that leads to more economic growth, that's what I wanna be out there and promote to the world. Speaker 0: So a bunch of questions, but let's just begin with the core promise of Bitcoin, as we both remember vividly, was that I would be able to conduct transactions by goods and services privately without federal control. That there was there was anonymity because it was digital, and I could sort of have freedom, in the things that I bought. How exactly did they control conversation about that? You say that they censored the the discussion boards. Can you explain exactly how that works? Speaker 1: So there there were 2 main discussion platforms where everybody was talking about Bitcoin, and that one was called bitcointalk.org, and then another was rBitcoin on Reddit. And everybody was busy talking about Bitcoin in those places. And the same anonymous individual managed to get moderatorship position or ownership of both of those forums. And one day, he decided to turn on the censorship, and they would ban anybody that would, state anything that wasn't in line with the small block propaganda about Bitcoin. And when the censorship first began, people started a thread on Reddit complaining about the censorship. At that point, it was the most upvoted thread ever in the entire history of that Bitcoin Subreddit. And what did they do? They then deleted that post as well, and banned the people that were participating in that post. And the censorship still goes on to this very day. If you go on our bitcoin or bitcoin.org, and post anything in favor of bitcoin being able to scale to be money for the world, they will ban your account. And, it's really, really a shame. So the average person that's involved in bitcoin today, they just see, oh, the price is about $100,000 each, and and Michael Saylor's talking about, you know, pay your taxes and don't don't be inflammatory, don't compete with the US dollar, that's gonna make Visa and Mastercard and the the government angry, don't do any of that. He's saying literally the exact opposite of what everybody was saying in the beginning of Bitcoin, which is like this finally gives people a choice as to what form of money they were to use. And so imagine if everybody was using bitcoin as money in commerce to, you know, do their payroll and buy things online and pay for everything, how would the US government be able to give 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars to Ukraine when most people don't want that to happen? How would they be able to spend 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars on all these foreign wars that most people don't want to be able to have happen? They wouldn't be able to just inflate it out of thin air. Suddenly, government would be much, much more accountable to the people. And, you know, they teach everybody in school, oh, government, you know, government works for the people. Well, if people were using a hard asset, cryptocurrency, as money in everyday life, government really would have to be much more accountable to the people than they are today. And that's why government doesn't want that, so that's why they've been doing everything they can to subvert Bitcoin and prevent people from being able to use cryptocurrencies as money in daily life, whether it's from tax policy or tax reporting or exit taxes or anything else. They're making it as difficult as possible. In fact, even the people that are in the studio here that we're recording this with, I offered to pay them in cryptocurrency. The reason they didn't want it is because they're scared of the tax ramifications around it, because government's going to lose control of the money supply, and if they lose control of the money supply, they lose control of most of their control of society. But if you believe in individual rights and individual freedom and people being in charge of their own destiny, it's a wonderful thing when government loses the ability to control people's lives. And that's why I'm so excited about Bitcoin. I've been involved almost 15 years, and I've been promoting cryptocurrencies as currency for people worldwide. Whether you're stuck in Spain awaiting extradition or in the US or anywhere else on the planet, cryptocurrencies are for everybody, and they need to go head to head and compete with the US dollar and the euro and the yen and the ruble and everything else because when people have more choices, their lives are better off and it results in more economic freedom. More economic freedom results in more economic growth, and more economic growth raises everybody's standard of living, which literally makes every single person's life on the planet better off. And that's why it's such an exciting thing for for me to be involved in, and that's why I'm doing it despite risking a a 109 years in federal prison for just telling people about these amazing ideas and technologies. Speaker 0: Now we've told you before about a staff favorite here at TCN, the 8 Sleep Pod. What is it? It's a high-tech mattress that's we talk about over lunch here, our mattresses, because this one is excellent. It's high-tech. It it's a cover. It goes right over your existing bed. Well, this Christmas, you can get it for the best price of the year up to $600 off. The 8 Sleep Pod works by adjusting the temperature warmer or cooler depending on your preference, and it maintains an ideal sleeping network all night long. You might not know this, but through different phases of sleep, every night your body's needs change. Sometimes you want it warmer. Sometimes it's colder. That's why you throw the sheets off. That's why you pull them around you in other parts of the night. You don't have to do that anymore with 8 Sleep because it automatically keeps things exactly where you want them throughout your entire night's sleep, what's called the sleep cycle. And it's been studied. It's clinically proven to increase quality sleep time every night that improves your recovery time from physical exertion, makes you a little sharper, makes your health better. It learns and adapts to your sleep patterns over time, and it automatically adjusts temperatures throughout the night through each phase of your sleep. And it does this independently for up to 2 people in a bed. So each person can have a tailor made sleep. It really helps. People here absolutely love it. 8 Sleep. Go to 8 Sleep.com/tucker. Use the promo code Tucker to get up to $600 off the Pod 4 Ultra. You can try with no obligation for 30 days. If you don't like it, just send it back. That's eightsleep.com/tucker. Better sleep, truly. Strong families are built on strong foundations and it all begins with what you bring into your home. It's hard though because big pharma and the processed food industry have spent decades putting you and your loved ones at risk, pushing toxic harmful products that make you sick, that have made our country sick. It's not a guess. That's happened. So it's well past time that someone decided to help you fight back. Public Square is doing that. Public Square is the leading family marketplace where you will find clean, healthy products sourced from American small businesses that actually share your values. With Christmas right around the corner, now is the time to abandon the corporate food conglomerates in favor of something better, healthier, more pure. Make the switch. Stock your home with the quality essentials and shop for gifts your whole family will love, and it's easy. Publicsquare.com/tucker, and you can get started. Publicsquare.com/tucker. So the original promise was Bitcoin will make you free, and then it became quickly through subversion, Bitcoin will make you rich. And that was enough to kind of derail the promise. I should note that you are rich from Bitcoin. I mean and you could very easily kind of not say anything and just be happily rich with Bitcoin because you bought a lot of it early. And so it sounds like your ideological commitment is overriding your financial interests. Speaker 1: It's not not even close for me. So, like, I was a multimillionaire before Bitcoin had ever even been invented. I had my own tech companies in Silicon Valley that had done very well for me. Lots of people talk about, oh, win win Lambo, would I miss some of my Bitcoin and buy a Lambo? I had had multiple Lamborghinis before Bitcoin had ever even been invented. When Bitcoin came along, I was such a big believer in Bitcoin that I sold my Lamborghini to buy more Bitcoin. That's how excited I was about this philosophically and emotionally and intellectually because this is literally one of the best tools the world has ever seen to give individuals more control over their own lives. And so I was headed in the exact opposite direction of most of the people that are involved in Bitcoin today. I I was selling things to buy more Bitcoin because I knew this was gonna become money for the world. And today, maybe it'll be Bitcoin, maybe it'll be a different cryptocurrency, but cryptocurrencies are still certainly the the way of the future and and have the and remember, today is 2024, when Bitcoin first came out, there was no Apple Pay. There was no Zelle. There was barely any of this thing. Like, there was almost no competition, but government adoption of cryptocurrencies so that now suddenly the traditional financial systems had a chance to catch up and and get a lot more done. And, and it's it's just really, really frustrating because life is short. As as as anybody, you know, as each year goes by, they go by faster and faster, and there's less and less of our each of our lifespans left. We need the benefits brought by cryptocurrency as soon as possible, and we know all the benefits for the world as soon as possible. Like, let's not waste time if that's exactly what governments around the world have been doing. They've been delaying and, hindering the adoption of cryptocurrency as money, which is literally delaying the progress of all of humankind and all of human society, and it's really frustrating to to see that happen. Speaker 0: The most frustrating, part from my perspective is the inability to use cryptocurrency apparently with any privacy. I mean, that that is the core promise. I'll be you know, I earned the money, didn't do anything wrong, and I would like to buy something that's sort of no one's business, whether I'm buying it or not. And I would like to do that in privacy. I don't think that's a a weird thing to want. It's a human thing to want. And is that possible? This is my question. Is is it now possible to conduct any kind of business with crypto anonymously? Speaker 1: So in the early days, everybody thought Bitcoin was basically anonymous, and and people treated it that way. And then websites came up that were selling things that, governments might not necessarily want you to buy, and people were using Bitcoin for that because they thought it was basically anonymous. And then later on, we found out that it wasn't anonymous at all, but additional steps were taken to make Bitcoin even less anonymous. And today, most people are just using custodial wallets, which are you know, it's not even a wallet. It's just an account, and it's no more private than your Bank of America or PayPal account. In fact, it's even less private than those things because anybody can take a look at the blockchain and see what's there. But luckily, there's other cryptocurrencies out there that do give people more privacy. So there's things like Monero, which most people are now using, if they want some privacy. But there's even more exciting technologies and coins out there. There's another one called Xano that allows anybody to create their own privacy token in which nobody can see what's going on. And if you really want to get the 3 letter agencies upset or governments upset, there's a project called Confidential Layer, which is creating a bridge from Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum onto Xano. So you can take Bitcoin with no privacy at all or Ethereum with no privacy at all and bridge it permissionlessly with no custodian and no central point of attack onto Xano. And when it's on Xano, you have very, very strong privacy with that as well. And so I think that's gonna make a whole lot more privacy come to the entire, cryptocurrency ecosystem. But governments are gonna hate that. Like Monero that I mentioned before, it's preemptively banned from being listed on most exchanges in in most of the world at this point, and that's be simply because governments have much less of an ability to spy on people that are using things like Monero or Zeno. And that's why I'm a big fan of things like Monero or Zeno today. When in fact, today, I would be embarrassed to promote I am embarrassed to promote Bitcoin to people today because the transactions are slow, expensive, unreliable, and you have no privacy. I would be proud to promote something like a Monero or a Zeno or a Zcash or a Zcoin or any of these privacy tools out there because those are the ones that provide more individual control to people and more privacy and more economic freedom to people over the world. People are claiming that Bitcoin is freedom money, but I'm really afraid that they're literally building the financial prison walls around themselves. Like, if you look at what's going on in El Salvador, everybody's excited about Bitcoin there, but they're all using custodial accounts that the government can see every single transaction you're making, and they can freeze your account at any time. That's the exact opposite of economic freedom. That's economic government control. And so anybody that's paying attention should be really, really concerned about this, and they should be advocating the use of cryptocurrencies in which individuals can actually have control of their own money and have control over their own lives, their own destiny. And maybe that'll be Bitcoin, thanks to this new technology called confidential layer that bridges it onto Xano. But, and I don't know what it's gonna be, but, like, we need to be really, really careful because, you know, it could wind up that we've before we know it and before we realize it, we've built the financial prison walls around us, and it's too late to get out and too late to escape. So let's, let's be aware of this today and, and and, you know, watch out. Speaker 0: A lot of people in the crypto world, I think, are admirable people. I I'm friends with some of them, one you mentioned, actually, people I, like and admire and largely agree with. But I'm a little bit confused as to why you're the only person I've ever heard say what you just said. Why aren't the people promoting various cryptocurrencies also sounding the alarm that none of the transactions you conduct using these currencies are private. In fact, they're very easily trackable by government. Why is nobody saying that? Speaker 1: Because the censorship and propaganda works. Lots of people are saying that, but very few people other than myself have a a big enough platform or a loud enough voice to get much attention. And because I have such a big, you know, platform and big voice, boom, suddenly I'm looking at a 109 years in prison. I I don't think that's a coincidence at all. And, again, if the the the solution to ideas or people saying things that you don't agree with is more debate and more discussion and more free speech, whereas the the most of the people promoting Bitcoin at this point, they've taken the exact opposite. They've been supporting the the propaganda and the censorship, which, you know, I I'm on the exact opposite. In fact, initially, when the debate started happening as to what should be the proper scaling method for Bitcoin, my heart was already on what was called, like, the big block side, but I wanted to be open to the other arguments, and so I was just quiet and started listening. And as I tried to listen, suddenly one side started to try and censor the other side, and I already knew I was on the side of free speech. So as soon as one side tried to censor the other side, I knew, okay, it's time for me to speak up now. I'm on the side of free speech, and I'm on the side of Bitcoin being able to scale in the original way that that, you know, the Bitcoin white paper described as peer to peer cash for the entire world. That's very different than just this speculative asset. Everyone today is excited. Bitcoin's about almost $100,000. Maybe it would have been $100,000 half a decade ago if it hadn't been hijacked and hadn't been destroyed in its usefulness as cash for the world. So, you need to look at what's seen and what's not seen. And what we see today, okay, it's close to $100,000. What's not seen is what it could have been if companies like Microsoft and Expedia and these other big companies around the world didn't have to stop accepting Bitcoin because of its slow transaction fees, slow transaction times, and unreliable transactions, and lack of privacy as well. So it's really disappointing, but, thank you for giving me a platform to help sound the alarm because I don't want to see the entire world wind up imprisoning themselves inside of some sort of financial prison that they're building, even if it has a cool sounding name like Bitcoin. Speaker 0: Who is Satoshi? Speaker 1: I don't know, and, if anybody knows, I'm not aware of that, but whoever he is or wherever he is, he literally invented one of the most important things in the entire history of humankind up there on par with how important the invention of electricity or the transistor or the Internet was. It really is one of the most world changing technologies ever. And so whoever he is, wherever he is or or or they are or she is, they deserve their privacy because clearly that what's that's what they want. Speaker 0: So it it doesn't sound like you're suspicious that Bitcoin was created by the intel agencies as a way as a kind of trap for people. Speaker 1: I I don't I don't think it was created that way initially, but I am suspicious, and I do think that the intel agencies and and other groups have converted it and hijacked it into becoming a a financial trap. Speaker 0: I I just wanna apologize. By the way, we were we were or I was laughing off camera saying you're such you're so great at explaining this. No wonder they wanna put you in prison. I shouldn't have laughed at that as sort of an awful thing to say because they actually are trying to put you in prison. And so rather than making fun of something so awful, I would love to know if you think you're actually gonna go to prison. Is there any way to stop this? Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a lot of ways to stop this, but the the most useful way, I think, is to get the the public to speak out. Right? Like, the more people that speak out, the the safer all of us can be. And so one of the the most egregious things here too is, like, the IRS with guns on their hip, they literally showed up at my attorney's office. And my accountant's office, they raided my attorney's office. Right? You're not supposed to be able to do that in the US. Like you're supposed to be able to talk to your attorneys and that's supposed to be private. And so all the information is available over at a website that supporters set up at freerogernow.org. They recently filed what's called a motion to dismiss, where you can literally see with your own eyes the US government is literally lying in their indictment and the proof is up there with the emails between myself and my attorneys. You can go and see. Please go take a look at it. Don't take my word for it. Take a look at that motion to dismiss. They're lying. They're lying to the court in Spain, they're just lying every which way because they don't want the world to know the truth about cryptocurrencies, that they can be used to empower individuals to have control of their own lives beyond the control of politicians who have never met you and they don't know about you and your life, and most of them don't care about you one bit. So the fact that now people anywhere on the planet have access to money that can they can use it to escape inflation or they can use it to escape other, you know, oppressionary tactics, cryptocurrency is an amazing, amazing tool for freedom around the world, and governments are the opposite of freedom. They don't like people having more freedom, and that's why they don't like cryptocurrency, and that's why they're trying to shut me up. I wish I had even more hard proof, but I don't think it's a coincidence. They arrested me as soon as my book came out, and I was about to go on a big media tour promoting the fact that Bitcoin has been hijacked. Suddenly they had me arrested and tossed into jail for a month in Barcelona and they were furious that I got out on bail, but this is the first media interview I've done since I've been out. I've been out over 6 months now. This is a really, really big deal for the entire world. This isn't just an American thing. This literally affects every single person on the planet. And so like another example of that is Apple. People over the world use iPhones. Apple's an American company, but it affects every single person on the planet. Every year new Apple products come out, people all over the planet that aren't Americans also get to benefit from it. Americans get to benefit from it. Everybody gets to benefit from it. It's the same with cryptocurrencies. Everybody on the planet, even if it's somebody working on it in in the US or Spain or somewhere else, everybody on the planet gets to benefit from it. And, and, you know, and by benefit from it, I mean they get to have more control over their own lives, their own finances, and their own financial sovereignty. Governments hate that. That's why they're trying to stop it, and and that's why they don't want you to read hijacking Bitcoin so you can hear with, you know, citations for everything how Bitcoin was hijacked, and people are promoting it today as literally the exact opposite of what it started out as. Do you Speaker 0: remember when Democrats used to refer to abortion as something that should be safe, legal, and rare? Well, they've changed their view on that. It went from a right to a sacrament. This isn't the pro choice movement you may remember from 30 years ago. This is something much darker. And that's why we have joined forces with Pre Born, they're a sponsor of the show and of our speaking tour, to do something about us, the largest pro life organization in the United States. And they are doing what they should do, which is speaking up against this atrocity, killing babies after birth. No one seems to have the bravery to call that wrong, which it is, but preborn is calling it out. Their networks of clinics are positioned in the highest abortion areas in the country, and they've rescued 300,000 babies. When a woman considering an abortion searches to end her baby's life, pre born is there. The power of ultrasound combined with the love of God doubles the baby's chance of being born. A single ultrasound costs $28. Five ultrasounds are a $140. Giving women the information they need to make the decision that many of them actually want to make to have a baby. Any gift will help, and all gifts are tax deductible. To donate securely, go to preborn.com/tucker or call pound 250 on your phone. And when asked, use the word baby. So is Christmas really about buying stuff? You'll be forgiven if you assumed it is because that's the message you receive. But most people sense deep down there may be a little bit more to Christmas. Maybe this is the time of year to focus on growing your relationship with God. To remember there is a God and reach out to that God. Well to do that you can check out hallow the hallow app and it's advent pray 25 challenge. How was the world's number one prayer meditation app and for good reason? It's amazing. It's fantastic. We use it. We're proud to use it This advent, we highly recommend you join hallows prayer challenge for God so loved the world. Boy, that'll put meaning in your Christmas for sure. We've got spiritual stories, reflections, musics, testimonies. It's really well done. You're not going to get it anywhere else in as easy a form. Just go to hallow, download it, and bam, it's right there. So this is an opportunity to be transformed by God this Christmas. Don't wait. Get there. 3 free months right now when you sign up at hallow.com/ tucker. My wife comes home and tells me all about it every day. Spend this Christmas working on something that matters, your relationship with God. Maybe the only thing that matters. We hope you will. Hallow. I'm a little bit surprised that the government of Spain is honoring the extradition request. I mean, the US government just sent a $100,000,000,000 to Ukraine without an audit to the most corrupt country in Europe, a $100,000,000,000. Didn't even bother to audit it. You know? And a huge percentage is being stolen. We know that. They don't care. So the idea that the US government is so upset that you, a noncitizen, didn't pay US taxes, which you're not even obligated to pay, is, like, absurd on its face. How did the Spanish government participate in what's obviously a grotesque miscarriage of justice? Why would they play along with Yeah. Speaker 1: If I can interject, not only are they mad about the the taxes, I wasn't an American, and I wasn't living in the US. Right? This is like it's so I was not American, not living in the US, and they're claiming I owe the more US taxes on the Bitcoin. It's just absolute insanity. But if you look at it, when there's a political persecution, they just have to make stuff up so they can grab the people, and the most common way they do it is they use the government tax code because it's so incredibly complicated. Even people that want to comply with every last little detail and how the best professionals, like I did myself, it's too complicated. They can get you if they want you, and that's what they do time and time again. And so in regards to the Spanish government, I have an amazing attorney here, Jaime Campanier. I'm really hoping that he's gonna be successful here. He's optimistic about the whole situation, but you don't know. And it's a really terrifying way to live day to day. If I win and Spain decides not to extradite me, they'll send me or my attorney a letter and say, Congratulations, you're not being extradited. If I lose and they decide to extradite me, they don't tell me in advance, there'll just be a knock at my door one morning and they'll grab me and they'll put me in jail and I'll have zero notice whatsoever. I won't won't be able to return the rental car or tell the landlord or anything else. They'll literally just come to my house, grab me one morning, and I won't know in advance which morning it's gonna be. It'll just happen one morning. And so it's not a fun way to live day to day knowing if this is your last day not in prison potentially for the rest of your entire life. But I'm cautiously optimistic that Spain will be able to see through this and see what a politically motivated persecution this is by a bunch of people that are just jealous. If I hadn't been treated so unfairly politically the last time around when I ran for political office and tried to change the system within, I'd still be a proud flag waving American today. And the values of my heart are still some of the most American values there are. And if you think about it, people say, Oh, you renounced your U. S. Citizenship, that's not very patriotic. Are you kidding? That's exactly the values that America was founded on. It was a bunch of British people that renounced their citizenship and said, I don't like the laws you guys are passing. I'm not gonna be a part of this anymore. So renouncing your citizenship is actually one of the most patriotic American esque things you can possibly do. And I hope the Spanish government will be able to see that. I've been out there speaking out to the world about the benefits of cryptocurrency. The US government has the most to lose because the dollar is the world reserve currency, so they like it less than even other governments. This is clearly a politically motivated persecution and my faith and hope and my dreams are with the Spanish government to not extradite me at this point, and I hope they do the right thing and they can see what's going on. But I also, you know, have maybe I can beat the whole thing at trial as well, but, you know, you never know. You're rolling the dice there even though I'm completely innocent. But we also could have the Department of Justice, Nyarris, just drop all the charges because it's completely I'm completely innocent. And we literally fought this thing all the way to the Supreme Court in regards to my attorney client privilege documents. When they finally got access to those documents, they were probably mad because it was me literally telling my attorneys, do everything perfectly. Do everything perfectly. I don't wanna have any problems. And so they had a big giant let down, so there was a Supreme Court case in regards to myself. People need to understand how insane it is that the IRS raided my tax attorney, their office. How can you raid someone's attorney's office to violate attorney client privilege in the US? That's the stuff that all the US propaganda wants you to believe goes on in Russia all the time and other countries, but they're doing it right there at home and where I was born and raised in the United States of America. It's insane that that's going on. So President Biden can do the right thing. He just recently pardoned his son. Speaker 0: He can issue a preemptive pardon for me. Trump, when he Speaker 1: gets into office, if anybody knows what it's like to be the victim of lawfare, it's Trump. So I think he'll be able to see it in this case as well. He can issue Speaker 0: a preemptive pardon for me as well and Speaker 1: a bunch of other people that deserve it. I'm not the only one. There's a whole long list of people out there that have been the victim of lawfare. And more often than not, it's people that are engaged in something that the US doesn't like politically. And if you rock the boat and the deep state doesn't like it, they're gonna come after you. And I'm just one more on that long, long, long list of people that they've, they've attacked and and trying to destroy their lives. Speaker 0: If if I wasn't in this business, I wouldn't believe any of this. I wouldn't think anything you were saying was true. I've just seen it so often. Just just a specific point. Are you allowed to leave Spain, or are you imprisoned by Spain? Can you or can you leave the country? Speaker 1: So, no. Not only can I not leave the country, I'm on a island in Spain, off the coast of Spain called Mallorca? I'm not even allowed to leave this, island. I'm not allowed to go on a boat. I'm not allowed to do anything. And every 48 hours, I have to check-in with the court and show them my ID and prove that I didn't run away. And again, any day could be my last year. If they decide they are going to extradite me, they'll just show up unannounced and arrest me here in Spain and put me back in the Spanish prison, and then at some point, ship me to the US prison as well. And so that's like a a pretty nerve wracking way to to live day after day, here in Spain. So I'm, Spain's a wonderful country, but I would love to be here voluntarily. Speaker 0: What it's it's shocking that Spain can act as the jailers for the US government on transparently fake charges. What's so you already spent a month in Spanish prison? What was that like? Speaker 1: My Spanish is certainly better than it was before that happened. Speaker 0: I bet. You you know prison slang. Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's actually because I'm such a, you know, clean-cut, well spoken guy, there were a couple of other people in the prison starting to think I must be some sort of an American undercover spy spying on the prison. So some of the other inmates were really wary of me and didn't want to speak to me. Luckily, nobody found out who I was or what my role was in regards to cryptocurrency, but some people were awfully suspicious of me and I was very glad to get out when I finally did. And the US government was very angry that they granted me bail here in Spain. They wanted to hold me in jail in Spain the entire time in a country I think this was only the 2nd time I'd ever even visited Spain ever. I thought I was only gonna be here for 4 days. There was a cryptocurrency conference about privacy cryptocurrencies here, about Zeno and Monero and things like that. I thought I was just gonna be here for that. I was in the hotel lobby after the conference and some guy I didn't know came up to me with a fixed Spanish accent and said, Are you Roger Ver? And I said, Yes. And Roger Ver? Yes. And like 3 or 4 times back and forth, and when I finally convinced him that I was Roger Ver and that we had overcome the language barrier, and I thought he was a crypto guy and wanted to ask for an autograph copy of my book or talk about crypto or something. Then he pulled out his badge and said that he has an Interpol arrest warrant. They arrested me right there in the lobby of the hotel in Barcelona and hauled me off to jail in Spain. And boy, was I not expecting that one bit to happen. And talk about having your world turned upside down, but it just makes me even more motivated because cryptocurrencies are such an powerful, powerful tool for every human being on the planet. How could I not be quiet about spreading this good message to everybody, around the world? So, congratulations, America. You made me even more motivated to spread cryptocurrency adoption to the world. That is just one of Speaker 0: the craziest stories I I think I've ever heard. Roger, godspeed. We are just rooting for you fervently, and I I hope this helps in some small way. Anyway, you're you're in our thoughts. Thank you. Speaker 1: My pleasure, Tucker. And if I can ask people that, want to show their support, please head over to free roger now dot org, and I would deeply appreciate that. Speaker 0: Thank you. Good luck.

Gary Gensler, head of the SEC, is suing Elon Musk over his Twitter acquisition. I highlight Gensler's history of using the SEC against political opponents, particularly Democrats' enemies, which prompted JD Vance to threaten him. Vance warned that politically motivated actions could lead to losing power. I also note Gensler's past as CFO for Hillary Clinton's failed campaign, emphasizing his ties to the Democratic Party and suggesting a pattern of targeting Trump through fake investigations.

@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes

Joe Biden’s Head of The SEC Gary Gensler is suing Elon Musk over his Twitter acquisition Gary Gensler has a LONG history of weaponizing The SEC against Democrat’s political enemies. In fact, it got so bad JD Vance had to threaten Gary Gensler over it Here’s JD Vance threatening Gary Gensler for weaponizing the SEC against Democrats political enemies including Trump ‌ JD Vance threatens Gary Gensler “Maybe I can appeal to your sense of self interest. If you guys use the SEC in such a politically motivated way, eventually, you're gonna be out of power.” ‌ Gary Gensler was part of a corrupt Democrat dream team hired to target and bring fake investigations against Donald Trump ‌ JD Vance 2016, you were the CFO of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign. Is that correct? ‌ Gary Gensler I was proud to be chief financial officer to the Clinton campaign.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In 2016, I served as CFO for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Chairman Gensler, your enforcement director, Gerber Grewal, was the New Jersey attorney general who refused to enforce immigration laws and investigated Donald Trump multiple times. Your general counsel, Megan Barbero, litigated impeachment hearings against Trump, and one of your senior counsels is married to Peter Strzok. This raises concerns about impartiality at the SEC. The SEC's first enforcement action against SPACs was in September 2021, shortly after Senator Warren urged an investigation into Trump's Truth Social merger. It appears the SEC may be using its powers to target political rivals. Have you spoken to anyone at the White House regarding this investigation? I doubt I can change your mind about the political nature of these actions, but remember, power can shift, and such tactics may backfire. Thank you.

Speaker 0: In 2016, you were the CFO of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign. Is that correct? Speaker 1: I was proud to be chief financial officer to the Clinton campaign. Speaker 0: Great. Chairman Gensler, is it also correct that your current enforcement director, Gerber Grewal, was most recently the attorney general of New Jersey? Yes or no answer will suffice. He served his his nation well, and he was attorney general of New Jersey. So just to recap, the attorney general of New Jersey is the guy who refused to enforce immigration laws and cooperate with ICE. He also launched, I believe, 8 separate investigations against Donald Trump during his time as attorney general. Chairman Gensler, is it also correct that your recently hired general counsel, Megan Barbero, was previously deputy general counsel under Nancy Pelosi and litigated 2 impeachment hearings against Donald Trump? Speaker 1: I believe she was deputy general counsel of the House of Representatives. Speaker 0: Great. So and I'll also note that one of your, senior enforcement counsels is married to Peter Strzok. My point here, mister Gensler, is that you seem to have a very troubling pattern of hiring at an impartial regulatory agency. A lot of people who seem to have a vendetta against the former president, and I fear and I worry that that has implicated itself and and affected the policy at the SEC. Chairman Gensler, when did the SEC take its 1st enforcement action against the SPAC? Do you do you know the exact time? Speaker 1: Senator, we'd have to get back to you. I don't know what decade that was. Speaker 0: So according to my my, my my staff's research, September of 2021 is the first time that you guys at the SEC launched enforcement action against a SPAC. So I wanna recap just a few things, and then I wanna ask a question. First, you were Clinton's finance director in 2016, Hillary Clinton's finance director. 2nd, you hired anti Trump enforcement director Grewal in July of 2021. 3rd, you brought in miss Barbero who was the litigator on 2 house impeachment trials against Donald Trump. You have another enforcement counsel who was married to Peter Strzok. In November of 2021, senator Warren urged you to investigate the SPAC merger involving Donald Trump's Truth Social Company. And in December of 2021, just a few weeks later, you guys launched an investigation using a novel legal theory against the former president's social media company. That is some coincidence. Isn't it, mister Gensler? Senator, it Speaker 1: is good to meet you in person, but, I think you're you're not correct. What was I not Speaker 0: correct about Speaker 1: there? We follow the facts and Speaker 0: the law wherever they are. And with regard to the SPAC field, the special purpose acquisition company field, there have been abuses, as you mentioned, 1 in 2018 that we found and there are times that we do open investigations. So the problem that I have, Chairman Gensler, is not with you investigating SPAC mergers. The problem is investigating a SPAC merger using a novel legal theory against your boss, Joe Biden's chief political rival. Also against the social media company, which of course at the time, Twitter and Facebook and every social media company had banned the former president. So you can make a pretty good argument that the SEC was using its enforcement powers to silence the chief political rival of the former, of the current president. Now let let me just offer another another observation here. We are rightfully concerned in this chamber, at least on my side of the aisle, about the weaponization of the Department of Justice. But I'm increasingly worried that we should be more worried about the weaponization of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It looks more and more like not an impartial regulatory body protecting investors and consumers, but a regulatory body that it's using its power to silence and immiserate political rivals of the current president of the United States. I have just one final question on that, chairman Gensler. Have you ever spoken to anyone at the White House about your investigation of Donald Trump's Truth Social? Speaker 1: Sir, I don't speak Speaker 0: Yes or no? Speaker 1: I don't know. Sir, I'm gonna answer the question. I don't speak to the White House about anything in our enforcement group or investigations. Speaker 0: So I'm mindful of thank you for the the answer. I'm mindful of of of the time here. So let me just offer one final observation. I have I have little hope that I could persuade you that hiring committed partisans and using the regulatory powers of the SEC in a way that looks, and I think is politically partisan, is a true threat, to American democracy. But maybe I can appeal to your sense of self interest. If you guys use the SEC in such a politically motivated way, eventually, you're gonna be out of power. And I have to say, chairman Gensler, turnabout is fair play. Thank you, mister chairman.

At 26, I launched Silk Road, a revolutionary platform that aimed to create a free marketplace using Bitcoin. Despite its initial success in proving Bitcoin's utility, I was arrested in 2013 and sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years, a punishment many deemed excessively harsh. From prison, I reflected on my journey and the impact I had on crypto. In 2025, I received a pardon from Trump, reigniting the debate over my legacy as either a digital freedom fighter or a cautionary tale. Innovation often exists in gray areas, and my story is a testament to that.

Speaker 0: Ulbricht was born on March 17, 1984 in Austin, Texas. He was a boy scout, attaining the highest rank of Eagle Scout, just like his dad had done. He had a happy childhood, growing up an easygoing hipster but serious student who scored 1,460 on his SATs within the 96th percentile and got a full ride to the University of Texas at Austin where he studied physics. He then won another full scholarship for a master's at Penn State in material science and engineering. It was at Penn that he evolved into a hardcore libertarian, a political philosophy that advocates individualism and minimal state involvement in people's lives. He was a fan and follower of libertarian economist Ludwig von Mises, who opposed government interference in the economy.

Ross Ulbrich began by selling mushrooms in California, driven by a libertarian belief in personal choice. Silk Road emerged as a platform that combined anonymity through Tor, an anonymizing tool developed by the US Navy in the mid-nineties, and cryptocurrency. This marked the first significant integration of cryptocurrency with IP blocking technology on the Internet.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: It was primarily drugs, and that's where it started. It started off with Ross Ulbrich growing mushrooms out in the wilderness of California and selling them. But really, his was more of a libertarian viewpoint. I mean, it was like, you choose what you wanna do for yourself and do it. And and the way Silk Road kind of had the anonymity is it used what's called Tor, the the onion router, which is, an anonymizing, function on, on the deep web. It was actually invented by the US Navy, back in the mid nineties or so, but it also used cryptocurrency. So it was the first time, like, we saw this birth on the Internet, mixing cryptocurrency, and, an IP blocking software. So

His case serves as a warning from lawmakers about the future of cryptocurrency ownership and financial sovereignty. Filmmaker Mikki Willis was compelled to create a documentary about Roger after learning his story, highlighting the urgency of protecting our freedoms. Please watch, respond, and share.

They call him “Bitcoin Jesus,” though he despises the nickname. His real name is Roger Ver. At any moment, Roger could be arrested for alleged tax evasion and mail fraud. But anyone familiar with his case knows the truth: Roger’s only “crime” was being the very first investor and passionate advocate for Bitcoin. For that, he faces 109 years in federal prison.   As devastating as this is for Roger, this case is less about him and more about you.   Roger is being persecuted as a warning from corrupt lawmakers who aim to set a precedent that could threaten your ability to own, trade, and profit from cryptocurrencies. This isn’t just about Roger’s freedom; it’s about the future of financial sovereignty for us all.   What you’re about to watch is a 20-minute documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mikki Willis. He had this to say about Roger and the case against him:   “When Roger’s story was brought to my attention by my friend Angela McArdle (chair of the Libertarian National Committee), I was already overextended with production commitments. After one Zoom call with Roger, I knew I had to put everything on hold to do whatever I could to help him. I was deeply moved by the quality of his character and his willingness to sacrifice his own freedom to protect the freedoms of all people. Roger’s story is almost too wild to believe! Yet it’s real, and it’s unfolding right now as you read this. The clock is ticking on a man’s fate, his freedom, and your right to control your financial future.”   Please take the time to watch, respond, and share.

My name is Roger Veer, and I'm a former American citizen now facing a possible life sentence for crimes I didn't commit. Growing up in Silicon Valley, I became fascinated with free market economics and libertarian ideals. I even ran for office as a Libertarian. My criticism of the ATF led to politically motivated charges related to selling firecrackers. After serving time, I left the U.S. Later, I became an early advocate for Bitcoin, recognizing its power to promote economic freedom and undermine government control. Now, I'm arrested in Spain on tax evasion and mail fraud charges that I believe are politically motivated, and a form of lawfare. I had sought legal counsel to ensure compliance with the law. This isn't about taxes; it's about suppressing freedom.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: My name is Roger Veer, and I'm 45 years old. I was born in America, but several years ago, I made the difficult decision to renounce my citizenship. For more than two decades, I've been relentlessly targeted by the US government. Now I'm facing the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison, up to a hundred and nine years for crimes I did not commit. This is my story. Speaker 1: Wicked Leaks founder, Julian Assange, faced up to a hundred seventy five Speaker 2: years in prison. John McAfee had just been ordered extradited to The United States on tax evasion charges. Speaker 1: Donald j Trump arrested, fingerprinted, and charged with 34 felony counts. Speaker 2: This case really is lawfare at its worst. Speaker 1: We are clearly in Speaker 3: a political lawfare environment. Speaker 2: The US definitely don't really like it when someone stands up to them in any way, shape or form. Speaker 4: Lawfare isn't new. Lawfare has been happening for decades. At the time that the war against Roger began twenty five years ago, he was one of the only ones and very few Americans were aware this was happening. But now, lawfare has reached to the highest levels. My name is Tracy Thurman. It's a little hard to describe what I do. I come in on cases where people are facing lawfare and I do everything I can to help them. I only take cases I believe in and I only take cases that I care about. Rogers case is one of those. Speaker 2: What was that like and what was your family like? Speaker 0: And I'll wish whoever does the editing good luck with chopping all this together as well. So I grew up in Silicon Valley and as a teenager I ran one of the most popular BBS's that stands for bulletin board system which was kind of the internet before the internet. And so I ran that out of my bedroom and one summer, I think maybe between seventh and eighth grade, my my mother told me I wasn't allowed to play anymore video games and I had to go do something else. And so I went and looked on the bookshelf and I saw a book called Socialism by a man named Ludwig von Mises. It basically explains how incredibly important money is and the prices that they transmit aren't just prices of goods, it's information as to what goods should be used to produce what other goods and what labor and what human resources should be used to produce other things. And without the free flow of money, the signals or the communications get distorted. And anytime the government gets involved in the flow of money, it's blocking these price signals. The more economics I studied, the more I realized that any time government is intervening in the economy, they're retarding the world's rate of economic growth. Speaker 2: Welcome to the Libertarian Party's two thousand presidential debate. Speaker 0: I wanted to tell people about these ideas, And so one of the ways that I thought would be efficient to tell more people around the world about the benefits of free markets and entrepreneurship and and getting the government out of the way of the economy was, to run for political office as a libertarian in The United States. Each candidate is gonna be given five minutes. I got to have numerous debates and and meet lots of interesting people, but it was in one debate in particular at San Jose State University where I was debating the Republican and Democratic candidates and unbeknownst to me at the time, in the audience some ATF agents. And, I called the ATF, and FBI a bunch of jackbooted thugs and murderers in reference to murdering children in Waco, Texas. Come out of your hands, Joe. Speaker 1: Nine one one, what's your emergency? Speaker 0: They're shooting at us in Mount Carmel. Tell them there are children and women in here to call it off. There were dozens of young children there. They literally sent in tanks and men with guns, and they set the entire place on fire, and then they posed for photos on top of the bodies of dead kids. Speaker 1: Branch Davidians, including 24 children, were killed. Speaker 0: You don't murder kids. And when Bitcoin came along, it was clear to me that that was the kryptonite to government's ability to wage wars and to control people and to interfere in the economy and there was nothing that was going to stop me from telling people about how important this was. Speaker 4: For Roger, that was the beginning of asking very serious questions about the US government and honestly it was the beginning of the persecution against him. Speaker 0: Before crypto I've been involved in e commerce and I was selling mainly computer memory on the And I was also selling a product called a pest control report 2,000, which was basically a firecracker that farmers could use to scare birds away out of their cornfield. And I was selling these on eBay. Back when eBay had a guns and ammo section and there were dozens if not hundreds of other people selling that exact same product on eBay. I wound up being the only person ever in the entire history of the world to be charged criminally for selling those without a license. Speaker 2: Can you imagine the US government spend money and time to imprison Roger Vere over firecrackers. Speaker 4: In a meeting between Roger, his attorney, the ATF agent, and the prosecutor, Roger's attorney was asking the prosecutor, look, like, wouldn't this be a case normally where you would just tell the guy to go to, like, get a license? Maybe you'd fine him, but you wouldn't be seeking prison time. And at that point, the ATF agent pounds his fist on the table and says, but you didn't hear what he said about us. That clears up completely whether this was a politically motivated case or not. Speaker 0: I literally became politically persecuted for saying things that I believe in my heart of hearts to be true. If you murder kids, you're a murderer. And so anyhow, I did my ten months in federal prison, and so I wound up, you know, waiting the three years of federal probation that I had, and literally on the very day I was allowed to leave, I left The United States, and I haven't lived there again since because they made me terrified to live there. Was born there, all my family's there, that's where I grew up, that's the place I love and will be near and dear to my heart forever but these people just made it so frightening for me to be there because of the constant harassment over and over and over. Speaker 4: All of our founding fathers gave up their citizenships because the country from which they came was no longer a place that they could call home. And when they did it, it was treason. Every single one of them knew if they were captured, that was the end and the end would not be a pretty one. And yet they stood firm, they made that decision, and they acted out of bravery and principle. And Roger's a person who's done that too. Speaker 2: Anytime people exposed information that their government wanted to be kept secret, those people were called traitors and yet history views them as patriots and heroes. Speaker 0: When when they sent me to prison the the first time, I'm I'm a little bit embarrassed to say, but but it it worked in the sense that they got me to shut up and to be quiet. Speaker 1: You can't put it in your wallet. Your computer makes it and it trades like a stock. It's called Bitcoin. Speaker 0: In 2,011, when I heard about Bitcoin for the first time, I knew it was one of the most important inventions in the entire history of the world, and I went on to become the very first person in the world to start investing in the cryptocurrency and Bitcoin ecosystem and seeded basically the entire first generation of crypto coin and Bitcoin businesses. Get involved right now today. Tell everybody you know about this wonderful amazing thing that's about to change the lives of everybody in the entire planet called Bitcoin. Speaker 5: He was the first American entrepreneur maybe in the world to really see the potential of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. Speaker 0: I knew when I began promoting Bitcoin that this is something so powerful to the existing power structures that they'll do whatever they can to to stop it or shut it down. Speaker 5: A brilliant innovator and a great humanitarian who cares about one thing more than anything else and that is the topic of human freedom. Speaker 0: I I couldn't be quiet any longer. I had to to speak out and and that's what I did and it was the right thing to do and I don't regret it one Speaker 2: A digital currency in which transactions can be performed without the need for a central bank. Woody. What is a Bitcoin? Speaker 0: Bitches in the future. Speaker 6: This is Wheel of Fortune, Joe. Bitcoin is the future. Speaker 0: This is the first time in the entire history of the world in which anybody on the planet with the Internet can send or receive money with anyone else anywhere, and there's absolutely no way that anybody can interfere with that in any way. I would tell anybody that I would get to listen to me about Bitcoin, but the vast majority of people just kinda laughed at me or or didn't take it seriously or or just, you know, kinda thought I was crazy for being so interested in some, you know, Internet nerd money that nobody was using. But, you know, as each year went by, gained more and more traction. It got more and more attention from around the world. And today, it's, you know, the the talk of, you know, people all over the planet. This is historic for the crypto Speaker 3: space. Bitcoin rocket ship keeps climbing. Speaker 2: The Bitcoin trounced a hundred thousand. Speaker 0: It might go to a hundred and 50 k. Speaker 1: You actually know this guy, Roger. Is it Ver? Speaker 0: Roger Ver. He's earned the nickname Bitcoin Jesus. Speaker 1: Who is known as Bitcoin Jesus. Bitcoin Jesus himself. Because he has prose proselytized. He's been very supportive of Bitcoin. Speaker 5: Bitcoin Jesus. Speaker 0: Or Roger Beers Bank. Speaker 2: Yeah. I would prefer that that was not my nickname. Eventually, was murdered by the government of his day. I would prefer not to meet the same fate. Leave it to the Biden administration to try to figure out a way to crucify Bitcoin Jesus. Speaker 0: Cryptocurrencies in general are absolutely an opportunity for the entire world to have more personal and economic freedom and to shrink the control of violent third parties from interfering in people's lives all over the planet. Because when you're using Bitcoin as money, at this point cryptocurrency, not just Bitcoin, it helps defund wars and helps defund government interference in the economy and helps grow the the private sector and helps shrink the government sector. The private sector doesn't necessarily need anything from the government. And so the more things we can privatize around the world, the better off everybody will be in the entire world. Digital currency may be the most effective way the world has ever seen to increase economic freedom. It doesn't matter what color you are, it doesn't matter where you were born, and it doesn't matter where you live today. You now can interact financially with every other human being on the planet without needing permission from anybody. And it almost makes me wanna cry. It's so exciting for the world to see that become available. Speaker 7: Bitcoin Jesus is under arrest in Spain on US tax and mail fraud charges. Roger Ver is accused of evading nearly $50,000,000 in taxes after earning $240,000,000 trading cryptocurrency. Speaker 4: If you want to build a system that allows for freedom, the most important element you can have besides freedom of speech is freedom of transaction. Speaker 0: And so imagine a world in which every single financial transaction you make is tracked and recorded. And not only that, but if they don't like what you're spending your money on or if they don't like the things that you're saying politically, they can prevent you from spending your money. That's a scary, scary world to live in. Speaker 4: For many people, the first time they ever heard of debanking, of freezing of assets for politically wrong speech, was the Canadian trucker protests. Speaker 3: As of today, a bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze an account without a court order. Speaker 0: If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow-up with financial sanctions and criminal charges. Speaker 1: Banks have already started to freeze the accounts of people involved in the protest. Speaker 4: If your money can be turned off, you are not a free man. Speaker 0: So as we're recording this, we are in a little island off the coast of Mainland Spain called Mallorca. And I'm here because, the United States government had me arrested earlier this year while I was visiting Spain for what I thought was gonna be a four day business trip. Speaker 4: He is not permitted to leave the island. He cannot get on a boat. He cannot get on a plane. He cannot do anything other than sit here on this island waiting for the Spanish government to send him to US custody. Speaker 0: They're charging me with tax evasion and mail fraud, but the mail fraud is simply that the tax returns were sent in the mail. There's actually three charges of mail fraud because we sent the first tax return, the IRS claimed they didn't get it, so we sent it again. So they're charging two separate counts of mail fraud for sending the same tax return two times in the mail because they claim they didn't get it the first time. Then they're charged me with a third count of mail fraud for sending another year's tax return a couple of years later. 90 of those hundred and nine years are for simply putting the tax returns in the mail and sending them to them. So there's there's no fraud about that at all. So as I was pulling up to my house this morning after running some errands, the Spanish SWAT team had the street basically blocked off, and it really spooked me, but either they weren't looking for me or somehow I got away. But we're gonna drive by again and see if they're if they're still there. Well, they're gone now. They were all right here. Thankfully, they they don't seem to have been there for me. So another day with a a bit more freedom. Although, we'll have to go to the courthouse here shortly for my once every two day check-in to make sure that to prove to them that I didn't run away. Speaker 4: One day there will be a knock at his door and at that moment he will be experiencing potentially the last moments of freedom he will have for the rest of his life. That's a terrible burden to live under. At every moment, you don't know is this my last moment of freedom. Speaker 0: I think the way I look at it is that the worst that can happen is they kill me. Then it's no longer my problem. Right? So, of course, I and I'll put this on the record. I am in no way, shape, or form suicidal in any way, and I would never ever do anything like suicide by cop or anything like that ever. So if I wind up dead by any sort of mysterious circumstances, 1000% sure I did not take my own life in any way, shape, or form. I would absolutely never do that ever. Speaker 2: John McAfee found dead today in a prison cell in Spain. The founder of the antivirus software that bears his name had just been ordered extradited to The United States on tax evasion charges. Speaker 3: It's after failing to record income made from promoting cryptocurrencies. Speaker 6: And the widow of technology entrepreneur John McAfee says she does not accept claims that her late husband died by suicide. Speaker 8: Janice McAfee said in a Twitter post on Sunday, quote, The US authorities are determined to have John die in prison to make an example of him for speaking out against the corruption within their government agencies. Speaker 2: Claiming the US government wanted to silence him over challenges to the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Speaker 4: In April of twenty twenty four, Roger came to Spain for what he thought would be four days for a conference. Instead, he's been here ever since. He was arrested and thrown into the same prison where John McAfee died. He was in that prison for three and a half weeks until he was granted bail against the wishes of The United States. And then when he was granted bail, he was sent to the island of Majorca. Every two days he has to go to the court and check-in to prove that he is still here. He's waiting to know, will he be back in The US as a free man? Or will he be back in The US in shackles? Speaker 0: At the time I renounced my US citizenship and expatriated, there were absolutely no rules or guidance whatsoever from the IRS as to how to pay taxes on Bitcoin. But I told my professionals and my attorneys and tax accounts that I knew I was a target for government persecution and that we had to make sure everything was done perfect. Speaker 4: He says to his attorneys, I know the IRS is likely to audit me. I need this to be done perfectly. I need every t crossed. I need every I dotted. Speaker 0: I had my accountants. I had the tax attorneys, and then I hired additional former federal prosecutors to check all the work down. So I had, like, three separate layers of people checking people's work all the way down to make sure everything was was perfect in regards to that. Speaker 4: The irony of Rogers' case is that the government paints him as a person who's evading his taxes. But the evidence when you read the actual filings, when you read the actual emails between him and his attorneys, shows a man who is doing his absolute best to comply at every turn. Speaker 0: This isn't about taxes, this isn't about money, This is about trying to suppress people from spreading American ideals to the world through the use of cryptocurrency. Speaker 9: Roger Ver is a world famous crypto pioneer. He is being charged by The United States on extremely dubious grounds. Somewhat similar to the way John McAfee, also in Spain, a crypto pioneer, was arrested at the request of American law enforcement. Speaker 5: So they're using the tax system as a form of lawfare. As an example, to the rest of the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency world, don't you dare innovate. Yeah. His name is Roger Bear. He started a petition on his behalf. You can sign it. That'll help. FreeRogernow.org. Speaker 0: I haven't been able to see my mom and dad for coming up on a decade because of this. And every day I wonder if I'm ever going to get to see them again before the day they die or before the day I die. One of the things that I want most in life is to spend time with my, Speaker 2: I haven't seen my my my parents for a long long time. Speaker 4: The framers of our country were wise men. Men who understood that throughout human history power tends to corrupt and it tends to corrupt absolutely. And that with each generation there would have to be people who are willing to risk all to protect freedom and risk everything in order to express that view once more. Roger was one of those people and he's paid the price for doing so. Speaker 0: Once they take me out of the way, it's even easier for them to go after everybody else out there because if they can do this to me with the resources and the people that I have supporting me, can do it to absolutely anybody. Speaker 4: The law firm in this country is only going to end if we decide that we are all going to stand up for our fellow Americans, whether we agree with them politically or not. We can choose right now as Americans which direction do we go. Do we head toward tyranny? Do we head toward a new American century of freedom, of hope, of finding a national unity again? In order to do that the law fair must stop and our heroes have to come home. Speaker 0: I don't know who said it but in history they said first they came for the so and so and nobody spoke out and then they came for the next group and nobody spoke out and by the time they came for me, there was nobody left to speak out, and that's why it's so important for all of us to speak out all of the time, so that they can't take us down one at a time. It was Ronald Reagan who said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. My name is Roger Veer. This is my story. I hope to God it never becomes yours.

The conversation discusses the alleged complicity of major bankers, particularly Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan, in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking activities. It suggests that billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are merely players in a larger system controlled by entities like the Royals, BlackRock, and the Vatican. The dialogue links Epstein to various scientific and technological initiatives, highlighting connections to intelligence agencies and cryptography. It raises concerns about the influence of Chinese entities on cryptocurrencies and the potential for centralized control over Bitcoin and Ethereum.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

The real bombshell isn’t that Epstein ran a trafficking ring. It’s that he was allowed to operate it because bankers like JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon was complicit in this and people would begin to ask how and why Bankers and the Treasury allowed this given the 1970 Bank Secracy Act. The billionaires are not the architects of this information terrorist networks. They’re the actors in the play. Elon. Thiel. Gates. Adam Back, Saylor. Lutnick, His Son They run infrastructure, but they don’t own the world. They were groomed, by systems older than corporations. The real owners? The Royals, The Grey Pope, BlackRock, Vanguard, BIS — own the assets The Vatican, Rockefeller, Rothschild, DuPont — own the timeline The WEF, CFR, Chatham House — write the scripts Political Think tanks + foundations — enforce ideology Occult orders + Straussian elites — justify it all as “destiny” This is not capitalism. This is a technocratic theocracy, where power is hidden in these information terror networks, in their algorithms, law, debt, and narrative. They don’t fear elections. They fear recognition by the masses. Elon Musk was deposed in the trial that bank issue was dealt with as well.  Then there is the issue of why the number one dealer broker in the USA who ran Cantor Fitzgerald who interacts with the Treasury Dept and the bankers (Lutnick).  He was the next door neighbor of Epstein and that he did business with him.  Epstein was running this sex surveillance business on behalf of the British Zionists, The Royal Family, The Vatican, intelligence agencies, mostly likely elements of the CIA, MI6 and Mossad in some capacity. The family Maxwell links the British Crown to Centralized Science and PEER review. Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell own most of the PEER infrastructure controlled by scientists who are controlled opposition, so what is published in journals supports a narrative the elite foster and want.  Moreover, Robert Maxwell, was a known Israeli asset as well as a Soviet asset. This is information terrorism for the 21st century, except instead of bombs in train stations, the payload is child rape footage used to control Presidents, bankers, entertainers, intelligence agencies and many CEOs (Victoria Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch).

2. Epstein's link to Centralized Science will also link him to cryptography. Few.

3. The Mindshift Conference, hosted by Jeffrey Epstein and organized by Al Seckel, took place in early January 2011 on Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James, and in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. It covered topics including artificial intelligence, complexity theory, new trends in theoretical physics, evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, minimally invasive surgery, encryption and decryption, new financial systems, and emerging technologies like crypto currency and quantum computing. Steven Pinker and Larry Krauss were there. So was many JP Morgan and Google executives. Jeffrey Epstein used his good friend Joichu Ito’s Digital Garage firm to help fund crypto, AI and biotech startups including Adam Back’s Blockstream. Joichu Ito was the director of MIT Media Labs, responsible for incubating many crypto related projects with connections to futurist proponents like Reid Hoffman. The NSA and CIA have a history of recruiting assets from MIT and Stanford, where most of these people are alumni. Hoffman was a funder of Adam Back’s Blockstream and board member, as well as being a board member at: MIT Media Labs, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Mozilla. He was VP at PayPal and a PayPal mafia member, and founded LinkedIn. Coincidentally or not, Satoshi Nakamoto was “born” one day after the founding date of Microsoft. Microsoft has longstanding ties to the US governemnt, including the NSA and DARPA.

4. The Extropy Institute, co-founded by Max More and Tom Bell in 1991, was a non-profit organization promoting extropianism, a transhumanist philosophy advocating for indefinite life extension through science and technology, uniting thinkers in AI, nanotechnology, and cryonics, before closing in 2006, declaring its mission "essentially completed. Important members of Extropy included: Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Max More, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Jaron Lanier, Nick Bostrom, Marvin Minsky, Ray Kurzweil, Steve Jurvetson, Ralph Merkle, Todd Huffman, Greg Burch and Julian Assange. The Edge Foundation, founded by John Brockman in 1998, is an intellectual salon hosting discussions among scientists, technologists, and thinkers to explore cutting-edge ideas, primarily through its website, http://Edge.org, and annual events like the Billionaires’ Dinner. The Edge organization received significant funding from Jeffrey Epstein, who donated $638,000 of $857,000 total from 2001 to 2017, often as the sole donor in some years, with Epstein’s financial ties to Brockman dating back to 1995. Notable members include evolutionary psychologist John Tooby, physicist Freeman Dyson, cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, and tech entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, with Peter Thiel also linked through board membership and event attendance. You should all know this. This is why Elon was deposed in the JP Morgan trial. You should know that Amazon now has a space and satellite division and that that Howie Lutnick is linked to this too. And why is Bezos important? It links Space surveillance to healthcare DARPA projects done by his ancestors.

Edge.org edge.org

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

5. Other members of Edge besides Epstein, Musk, Thiel and Bezos includes: Nick Bostrom, Marvin Minsky, Ray Kurzweil, Steve Jurvetson (who helps fund all of Elon Musk’s companies), Vinod Khosla, George Church (Epstein funded futurist scientist), Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jeffrey Epstein’s good friend Joichu Ito, and Yuval Noah Harari. Many of the people listed above in these three foundations are members in at least two or all of these foundations, considering they all have similar themes (transhumanism and futurism). Coincidentally, all three foundations have funding and membership from Jeffrey Epstein. Several of the people listed who are members of either one or more of these futurist foundations are also cypherpunks. Cypherpunks are a group of activists and cryptographers, formed in the early 1990s through an email list, advocating for privacy and individual freedom through strong cryptography and decentralized technologies. their ideas influenced Bitcoin and projects like WikiLeaks. They focused on tools like PGP encryption and anonymous remailers to counter government surveillance. Some of those early cypherpunks include: Julian Assange, Adam Back, Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, and Todd Huffman. Savages might want to remember this when my Podcast with @BTC_Archive goes live.

6. Alcor Life Extension, Humanity+, Methuselah Foundation The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, founded in 1972 by Fred and Linda Chamberlain in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a nonprofit pioneering cryonics, preserving human bodies or brains in liquid nitrogen after legal death, hoping future technology can revive them. As of October 2023, it has 1,927 members and 222 cryopreserved patients, though cryonics remains controversial and scientifically unproven. Notable members include Peter Thiel, who is signed up for cryopreservation. Peter Thiel has a strong interest in life extension, funding anti-aging research through his Thiel Foundation, including $7 million to the Methuselah Foundation and investments in Unity Biotechnology. He has explored controversial methods like parabiosis, linked to Ambrosia, a startup offering young blood transfusions for $8,000. Marvin Minsky, a longtime AI and transhuman enthusiast is also a member of Alcor. Other people mentioned earlier in this thread who are also members of Alcor, as well as Lifeboat Foundation, Edge Foundation or Extropy Institute include: Jeffrey Epstein, Max More, Hal Finney, Ray Kurzweil and Todd Huffman. Humanity+, formerly the World Transhumanist Association, is a nonprofit founded in 1998 by Nick Bostrom and David Pearce to advocate for ethical use of technology to enhance human capabilities, focusing on longevity, AI, and genetic engineering. Jeffrey Epstein donated at least $120,000 to Humanity+, the largest amount they recieved from a single donor, with other donors giving much smaller amounts. Noteable members include: Nick Bostrom, Ben Goertzel (who received direct funding from Epstein through the Jeffrey Epstein VI Fund for OpenCog), Todd Huffman, Max More, Patri Friedman, Aubrey De Grey and Wei Sun. Patri Friedman is the founder of Pronomos Capital which was funded by Peter Thiel. The Methuselah Foundation, co-founded by David Gobel and Aubrey de Grey in 2001 in Springfield, Virginia, is a nonprofit dedicated to extending healthy human lifespan through regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, with a mission to "make 90 the new 50 by 2030." It funds research, incubates startups via its Methuselah Fund, and sponsors prizes like the Methuselah Mouse Prize to advance longevity science. Notable supporters include Peter Thiel, who pledged $3.5 million in 2006, and Vitalik Buterin, who donated 43% of Dogelon Mars cryptocurrency to the foundation.

7. The most shocking thing is you should know shitcoiner Buterin is now funding one of the scientists at the core of the contaminated COVID jabs. I have a sense he knows he is GMO and needs to solution to a problem now. Many new problems in the NEW jabs seem to be in the old ones too.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

8. Many early Bitcoin and crypto pioneers have ties to intelligence agencies and some of those ties get awfully close to Robert Maxwell and the PROMIS software scandal tied to Israel’s 8200 Unit. This software was key because it had a backdoor built into it that Meyer Lansky IT team used to have the inside scoop on governments. This backdoor idea for many algorithms became an intelligence story due to Maxwell's success with PROMIS. It was used in the Octopus Murders during the Reagan and Bush years. Several of the early cypherpunk and libertarian assets became tied to the Bitcoin story as “whistle-blowers” against the US government. They are not who you think they are either. In the beginning of installing the surveillance state they became modern day Lee Harvery Oswalds and now are playing roles to give the illusion of brave heroes going against the machine or “big brother”. These whistle-blowers include Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. Edward Snowden, famously leaked thousands of classified documents including the global surveillence program, inlcuding PRISM, was a former contractor for Booz Allen Hamilton. CALLEY MEANS WORKED for Booz Allen, as I exposed on Danny Jones. This is not a coincidence. Booz Allen Hamilton, is a major U.S. government contractor, has deep ties to the CIA and broader intelligence community, employing over 1,000 former intelligence officers and securing $1.3 billion in intelligence contracts annually as of 2013. Snowden held positions in both the CIA and NSA. He is assocaited (or was) with several relevant cypherpunks, including Moxie Marlinspike, Jacob Appelbaum, Runa Sandvik and several others. Intelligence has tried to infiltrate Bitcoin long ago but to date they have failed badly.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

9. Julian Assange was a member of the Extropy Institute. Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst, leaked over 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks in 2010. He then orchestrated the release of U.S. military and diplomatic leaks, including the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs, sparking global controversy. Coincidentally, Chelsea manning (a transgender male to female) once dated Elon Musk’s ex “Grimes” (Claire Boucher) [likely also a transgender male to female]. Chelsea Manning was also close with cypherpunks like Isis Lovecruft and Yan Zhu. Yan Zhu was an intelligence analyst for the US DoD, as well as a ‘Hacker Comununity Organizer’ for Noisebridge, a “hackerspace” noteable in the cypherpunk community. Yan Zhu was also a member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation through litigation, policy advocacy, and technology development. Noteable members of the EFF include: Hal Finney, Jacob Appelbaum, Yan Zhu and Esther Dyson. Esther Dyson worked closley with many transhumanist and cypherpunks. She also worked with Barney Pell of Singularity and Bing! (Microsoft) as well as received funding from Jeffrey Epstein for her research on transhuman and longevity science. She worked at Space Adventures with XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis. Diamandis also is a member of Singularity with Barney Pell, Ray Kurzweil, David Bray and Cathie Wood. Cathie Wood funds many Elon companies and Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Todd Huffman worked with the US DoDlike Yan Zhu, specializing in intelligence analysis. They also are both members of Noisebridge mentioned before, the “hackerspace” community event for cypherpunks. He also worked extensively with DARPA, helping found and operate the TOR Project. The Tor Project, founded in 2006 as a nonprofit, develops Tor, a free, open-source network that enables anonymous communication by routing internet traffic through multiple volunteer-operated servers to conceal users’ identities and locations. All of these people should never be trusted.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

10. I made the link for the world of TOR to Lansky via David Chaum on the @Breedlove podcast. This thread has a lot more juice I have not spilled.......but now that we know DOJ is burying the Epstein case it is time to out the traitors. Bondi and Wiles are running the inside game for the cabal.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

11. There is a reason Bitcoin Treasury companies are forming now and it is not what most Bitcoiners think. This explains why today the US government magically lost some of its Bitcoin. soon we will probably find out that Lutnick and Fink are collecting Bitcoin Assets offline and will control large poools of Bitcoin to make markets for the US government. This likely will be done to prop up the UST market. The Bitcoin likely will come from idiots who listen to people who are in Bitcoin Treasury positions who decide to custody bitcoin for some extra juice. SAVAGES should never fall for this scheme. Never trust Lutnick or Fink. Why? Read the first tweet and see who they really are. Lutnick and Fink will confiscate the bank if you lend your coins for leverage. 6102 EO is in the Genesis block for a reason folks.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

12. It is critical that I drive home two points to the SAVAGES: 1. CCP is $ETH's biggest whale, masked behind a guy named Wanxiang and others. This man is th enumber one reason that even though Biden admin has the same data on Epstein that Trump admin had in his first and second terms, Biden never mentioned Epstein once. The media is trying to blame DJT for the Epstein debacle but that is bad detective work. Wanxiang is why Operation Chokepoint 1.0 and 2.0 occurred and Gensler was forced to enforce it covertly. 2. Wanxiang was perfectly positioned to wear the Mask for the elites who want us back to Monarchy rule and one world government ideas buried in the real fabric of modern reality. HQ'd in Chicago, tied in deeply to Biden & Bush, Putin, and all the Space programs in Russia, USA, and EU. This is the blood and guts inside of Space Force. They have Blockchain Partnerships with MIT, IBM, UBS, Microsoft, and more. Wanxiang is how the worlds globalist are getting money and rare Earth metals out of North Korea to support the technocratic control agenda. ETHER is the honey pot for these criminals. This explains why anytime NK needs cash they easily hack an ETH whale.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

13. During the Obama and Biden Admins now you can see why the crypto and shitcoiner bros were controlling the SEC and Gensler. The CCP's Ethereum sway through Wanxiang is deeply concerning to Savages. Their ties in the US and SEC's approval warrant serious scrutiny by Bondi but she is captured CCP. It's essential to demand transparency in crypto dealings, especially when involving entities connected to authoritarian regimes. This perhaps well explains why North Korea easily hacks ETHER customers when it needs money for anything....... One way to get money out of North Korea is thru Wanxiang, the largest backer and funder of the Ethereum Foundation and over 500 crypto ICOs. Wanxiang, a communist China party connected company, is the #1 exporter of Uranium and rare Earths elements out of North Korea. They were also the backers of Prometheum, when the @SECGov gave them the ONLY Special Purpose Dealer Broker license for Digital Assets, opening up Americans most sensitive data to the #1 threat to our Democracy (outside of our own rogue Agencies). This means the Blue party is owned by the CCP and the Red Party has deeper ties to Bankers Controlling Israel and Wall Street - Rothschilds/Rockerfellers. Neither have control of Bitcoin which went open Source in the Chaum/Sassman Epoch. Their only methods of control of their lost currency is off and on ramps and via centralized confiscation or mining operations. Savages need to be mindful of all of this.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

14. China ties DEEP to Ethereum, Ripple, Stellar, Tron, BitTorrent + Connections surrounding Ethereum, Ripple, Stellar, Tron, BitTorrent and how they tie in with China. Anyone who shills these coins is a communist fascist who wants a WEF one world government. XRP and ETH are joined at the hip for this cabal. Both are bank accounts for the criminals. Vitalik Buterin: Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, was awarded a Thiel Fellowship in 2014, a program initiated by Peter Thiel to support young entrepreneurs who skip or drop out of college to pursue innovative projects. Buterin received a $100,000 grant to focus on developing Ethereum. This fellowship provided financial and networking support leading to his 2013 White Paper of Ethereum. Palantir boss is the seed man. Prior to this, in 2012, Buterin sought employment with Ripple (XRP), a cryptocurrency company focused on payment solutions, and was offered a position by Ripple co-founder Jed McCaleb. He allegedly slept on David Schwartz’s couch, the CTO of Ripple, at the time he was trying to gain employment at Ripple. However, the opportunity fell through due to visa issues preventing Buterin from working in the United States. At the time Vitalik was viewed as a cryptographic spy under the Munitions Act. Biden Admin changed this status. Dorsey a bitcoin maxi has always pointed out this pathway to the CCP actively on Twitter to alert the savages to the real shitcoin alliance.

15. Just who is Vitalik. He is Lee Harvery Oswald of the CCP. Vitalik co-founded a company with Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund partner Joey Krug called Augur. Vitalik is a member of the transhumanist/ futurist group, Lifeboat Foundation. He is currently funding some rather shocking names in the COVID space. I am withholding some of those connections for deep reasons. Who are other members and partners of Vitalik's Augur? They included Jeffrey Epstein, Charles Hoskinson of Cardano, Tammy Camp of Stronghold, JR Willet of Tether, Stuart Hoegner, lawyer for Bitfinex, and Stanislav Shalunov of BitTorrent (among many others). Vitalik is an advisor and co-founder of Fenbushi Capital. Many of these companies are tied to two famous podcasters that you all think works on your behalf. YOU'RE WRONG. Fenbushi Capital is the first and most active blockchain-focused venture capital firm in Asia, founded in Shanghai in 2015 by Bo Shen, Vitalik Buterin, Xiao Feng. KNOW YOUR ENEMIES, Savages

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

16. How filthy and deep are these links of Vitalik et al.? Some of Fenbushi’s investments include: Circle, ConsenSys, Securitize, O(1) Labs. ConsenSys is a blockchain technology company that specializes in building decentralized applications (DApps) and infrastructure for the Ethereum blockchain. It was founded by Joseph Lubin in 2014. Joseph Lubin is the co-founder of Ethereum. Securitize has lead funding by Ripple. O(1) Labs has funding from many leading Chinese venture companies. One of O(1) Labs’ advisors is Jill Carlson who was strategy lead at Inter/Stellar (Stellar subsidiary) from 2016-2017. One of Vitalik’s leading investments is in Starkware Industries, an Israeli software company that specializes in cryptography. It develops zero-knowledge proof technology that compresses information to address the scalability problem of the blockchain, and works on the Ethereum platform. Other investors include: Founders Fund, Sam Bankman-Fried, Joey Krug (co-founder of Vitalik’s Augur company), Tiger Global, Three Arrows Capital and many others. Uncle Jack is the modern day Gen Patton. He is letting you know how the CCP and folks in the desert really link behind the curtain. They have the same goals for one world government.

17. Just how big was the Biden Admin connection to this criminal syndicate? Xiao Feng, Prometheum, Wanxiang, McCaleb + Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum is an advisor and co-founder of Fenbushi Capital. Fenbushi Capital is the first and most active blockchain-focused venture capital firm in Asia, founded in Shanghai in 2015 by Bo Shen, Vitalik Buterin, Xiao Feng. Fenbushi has ties to the Chinese government and likely the CCP more specifically. Xiao Feng (Feng Xiao) Feng Xiao is Founder of PlatON, Wanxiang Blockchain, Fenbushi Capital and Board Member of Prometheum. Prometheum, a crypto shitcoin company offering custody and trading services for digital assets, has sparked controversy due to its close relationship with the SEC. The company became the first to receive a special broker-dealer license for digital assets from the SEC, a decision that has drawn criticism from the crypto industry. Critics have labeled Prometheum an "SEC pet project," pointing to its approvals as evidence of potential favoritism, especially amid the SEC's broader crackdown on other crypto exchanges. The controversy intensified when Prometheum announced it would custody Ethereum (ETH) and classify it as a security—contradicting the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) view that ETH is a commodity. This move fueled concerns about regulatory overreach and the potential impact on Ethereum’s classification and the wider crypto market. David Sacks links here in the crypto space are not GOOD for Savages. Same is true with Lummis. Neither are who you think they are.

@DrJackKruse - ☣️ Pleb Kruse = BTC foundationalist in exile 🟩🔆

18. Additionally, lawmakers have raised questions about the SEC’s ties to Prometheum, suggesting possible special treatment. Prometheum’s ties to Ethereum and the SEC further sparked the infamous “ETH Free Pass” theory, meaning the Biden SEC (And Treasury) was likely paid off or made backroom deals with the Prometheum/ Ethereum people to circumvent regulations, while cracking down on the competition, such as Ripple and others. This explains the Ripple lawsuit. Xiao Feng and Vitalik are the most relevant figures in connection to both companies. Xiao Feng founded Wanxiang Blockchain, a seed funder of Prometheum. Vitalik is a “Chief Scientist” at Wanxiang. Wanxiang held several summits to host blockchain experts for panels to discuss the advancements of blockchain technology. One event included Vitalik Buterin, Founder of Ethereum and Chief Scientist of Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, Gavin Wood, Founder of Polkadot, Jed Mccaleb, Co-founder of Ripple and Stellar, Nick Szabo, Inventor of Smart Contract, Jae kwon, Founder of Cosmos and other blockchain influencers. A friend of Xiao Wang and Jed McCaleb is Lilin Sun. Sun was involved with McCaleb’s file sharing service ‘e-Donkey’. He was also present with McCaleb at Feng’s Wanxiang Blockchain summit mentioned earlier. Sun founded a company called Juzix and is CEO of another company called Juzhen Financials. Juzhen is funded by both Fenbushi Capital and Wanxiang Blockchain. None of these criminals are a Savage friend. They live in a forrest we need to burn down.

19. The Octopus tentacles are deep here. This is the WELL where the deep state gets a ton of funding. A woman named Ada Xiao works (worked) at all the following at one point: Wanxiang Blockchain, Juzhen Financials, Juzix, and PlatON. PlatON, a Xiao Feng company, works closely with HashKey, another CCP-tied venture capital company. HashKey has investments in the following: Lightnet, a Southeast-Asia company JedMcCaleb is closely tied to with a long-standing partnership with Stellar and Velo Labs where he is an advisor. Prometheum, again founded and funded by Xiao Feng and Vitalik Buterin. Mask Network, a company with deep ties to Ripple. Deng Chao has been a longtime employee of HashKey, as well as being employed by Wanxiang Blockchain’s parent company Wanxiang Holding Co., Ltd at the time of the famous Blockchain summit with McCaleb, Vitalik, Xiao Feng and the others mentioned earlier which was at the very early years of their respective blockchain’s, Ripple/ Stellar, Ethereum, and Prometheus.

20. Tron, HTX, BitTorrent, OpenGarden + Livio Weng, Group Chief Operating Officer of HashKey Group was the CEO of HTX (formerly Huobi), a company funded by CCP-tied ZhengFund. HTX was used by Tron founder Justin Sun to transfer large amounts of USDT (Tether) after significant withdrawals from other platforms. Sun also served as a Global Advisor for HTX. The same year Sun faced SEC charges for fraud, HTX suffered a “security breach” that resulted in a massive $258M “hack” under Sun’s watch, leading to suspicion that the funds stolen were an inside job directed at Justin Sun. A wallet (0x9ea1) was found to be linked to the missing funds account that went to Xiao Feng’s Wanxiang Blockchain. No shock to my Savages. Justin Sun’s Tron acquired a P2P file sharing company called BitTorrent. BitTorrent was a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), which enabled users to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet in a decentralized manner. The protocol was developed and maintained by Rainberry, Inc., and was first released in 2001 and co-founded by Bram Cohen and Ashwin Navin. Bram Cohen was often accused of being Satoshi Nakamoto as a front story. To his credit he denies it because anyone who looks into it knows it is impossible. While there he managed BitTorrent Labs, a research and development department of BitTorrent where he presided over a successful re-architecture of a new BitTorrent client: uTorrent Web. He left BitTorrent in August 2017 to found Chia Network. He has served as Chairman and CTO of the Chia Network since its founding as CEO.

21. Epstein and the shitcoiners of the WEF and Silicon Valley are all linked. Other relevant people involved with BitTorrent are: Stanislav Shalunov, Ben Teitelbaum, and Greg Hazel. All three men have invested in and co-founded a company called OpenGarden. OpenGarden has funding from the Joichu Ito’s Digital Garage (former MIT Media Labs director before being pushed out for his close relationship and funding from Jeffrey Epstein). Digital Garage is also directly connected to Jeffrey Esptein as Epstein would use Ito as a proxy to invest in several crypto, AI and pharmaceutical companies. AI companies all have Epstein's and MOSSAD DNA in them and this is why I have told you to AVOID them all. Stanislav Shalunov of OpenGarden is a member of Lifeboat Foundation, alongside Jeffrey Epstein, Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum, and the many other crypto leaders mentioned in this thread. Stanislav Shalunov and Greg Hazel of OpenGarden and BitTorrent are founders of Fora Capital, a hedge fund firm that uses AI, machine learning and mathematics for trading in financial markets. This is how they will bleed you dry. Ben Teitelbaum of OpenGarden and BitTorrent went on to become VP of engineering at Blockstream, a company backed by many crypto juggernauts including Khosla Ventures, Bitfinex, Blockchain Capital (Brock Pierce/ Peter Thiel), Reid Hoffman of PayPal mafia who has his own long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and Adam Back, the man who went back and forth emailing with Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi never revealed himself to Back for a good reason = MUNITIONS ACT and the Turing connection tied to the UK. Blocksteam is also funded by joichu Ito/ Jeffrey Epstein’s Digital Garage. Li Ka-Shing funds Blockstream through his Cheung Kong Holdings as well as the others just mentioned. Li Ka-Shing works with Horizon Ventures and the CCP-linked Cheung Kong Holdings, a subsidiary of CK Asset Holdings Limited. Be wary of your hero's folks. Some of them ain't who you think.

22. How did this criminal cabal try to centralized mining to control Bitcoin? Here are the early players: Alibaba, Ant Group, Ripple + HashKey CEO, Dayong Zhang, is a former longtime GM of Ant Group, a CCP-tied conglomerate. Ant Group’s AntPool is responsible for a large amount of Bitcoin mining doing back over a decade. Ant Group has funding from several large CCP-tied firms, as well as Silver Lake, a firm where Brad Garlinhouse, CEO of Ripple, is an advisor for. Silver Lake helped fund Alibaba, a Chinese/ CCP tied conglomerate founded by Jack Ma. Alibaba also funded by AME Cloud Ventures (Chinese origins), a company co-founded by Jerry Yang. AME Cloud Ventures has funding in Ripple. Jerry Yang of AME Cloud Ventures is a member of the board of directors for Alibaba. Two other chinese men who work with AME Cloud Ventures, Jerry Chih Yuan Yang and Wretch Chien, are co-founder and former director (respectively) of Yahoo! Brad Garlinghouse of Ripple was SVP of Yahoo! for many years and at the time Jerry Chih Yuan Yang and Wretch Chien were at Yahoo! Alibaba is also funded by Eight Roads Ventures, a VC that funded Prosperity Marketplace, a company Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen was a co-founded and was president at during these same years. Another Alibaba funder, Tiger Global, is a funder of Ripple as well with their own ties to both China and Russia. Yuri Milner has ties to Tiger Global, as well as being a funder of Jared Kushner’s Cadre real estate company, with the help of George Soro’s firm, Soros Fund Management, which funded Ripple subsidiary (now defunct) Polysign where David Schwartz, CTO at Ripple was a board member. Jared Kushner’s good friend Ken Kurson sat on the board of directors at Ripple as well until just a few years ago. Yuri Milner, Jack Ma of Alibaba, and Pony Ma of Tencent (CCP-linked congolmerate) are all members of the “Breakthrough Prize”. Kushner real estate empire had to bailed out last minute by new Canadian Prime Minsiter and WEF support Carney. Never forget how the elites are linked via money. Breakthrough Prize honors important achievements in the categories of fundamental physics. It is sponsored by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Jack Ma and Cathy Zhang. All these people have direct ties to Chinese elite who have ties to the CCP and Chinese government, both directly and indirectly. Brin and Wojcicki are Bolsheviks at heart with deep ties to the One world fascist transhumanist agenda.

Tucker Carlson says he’s convinced the CIA created Bitcoin, and that’s exactly why he refuses to invest in it or use it. He warns that Bitcoin will one day turn into a massive scam, controlled by a shadowy network of elites who manipulate politicians to tighten their grip on America. Carlson says coming from a government family makes him certain that the mysterious, anonymous founder is proof it all traces back to the CIA.

They grew up in Washington, DC, in a government family, and speculate it could be a CIA connection, though they admit they cannot prove it. The speaker expresses skepticism about investing in something with a founder who is shrouded in mystery and mentions billions of dollars of unused Bitcoin. They ask, “What is that?” and point out that even among the biggest Bitcoin holders they know personally, the common attitude is that it doesn’t matter, whereas for the speaker it does matter.

Two software developers are going to prison for writing CODE. The creators of Samourai Wallet have pleaded guilty for doing everything BY THE LAW. Here’s what the DOJ doesn’t want you to know: • They asked regulators if it was legal they were told YES • DOJ hid that evidence for a year (Brady violation) • Trump’s memo says don’t prosecute developers • 50 armed FBI agents raided their homes for no reason • Judge Berman was mysteriously swapped out for Judge Cote without explaination

Video Transcript AI Summary
The Samurai Wallet software developers, Kiano Rodriguez (37) and William Hill (67), are going to spend the next five years and the next four years in prison for writing an open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin wallet that kept users’ Bitcoin private. The speaker says this case wasn’t a fair trial and mirrors the corruption of the system, noting the court pulled out 2018 text messages from conversations with friends. In those messages, Keanu explains that mixing Bitcoin is about privacy, not crime, and is a way for people not to be tracked or to see how much Bitcoin they own, since Bitcoin is a public ledger. He jokes that it’s “money laundering for Bitcoin,” but the court only highlighted the money-laundering aspect. Six months before the charges, FinCEN (“the actual money transmission regulators”) asked them if they were breaking the law, and they said no, because Samurai Wallet does not take custody of funds. The DOJ allegedly buried that information for years, a year after they said they weren’t breaking the law, which the speaker calls a complete violation. The judge is described as not caring. The speaker says Samurai Wallet operated legally for ten years with legal advice and never took custody of anyone’s Bitcoin, so they were not a financial institution, merely a service. Last year, 50 FBI agents raided Rodriguez’s house, treated him as if he were El Chapo. The speaker cites a memo by Tom Blanch, Trump’s deputy attorney general, from April stating that software developers should not be prosecuted because they are not committing the crime—described as “ending regulation by prosecution.” The claim is that arresting coders is absurd, likening it to jailing Bill Gates for creating Microsoft or jailing the CEO of OnlyFans for its content. Additionally, the speakers allege the defendants were obligated to hand over over $6,000,000 worth of Bitcoin to the New York Justice Department and sold it within the first hour, contrary to higher-level statements about how Bitcoin should be held. They criticize the situation as a retreat from privacy and liken it to a repeated, dangerous playbook seen in other cases, such as Ross Ulbricht. There is hope, as Trump reportedly took 37 seconds to analyze the Samurai Wallet case and asked a lawyer to see if a pardon is possible. A petition to help them is mentioned, along with a donation option to their families, with a link promised below. The speaker then promotes Casa, stating they enable self-custody wallets with multisig, multiple fail-safes, inheritance planning, and hardware wallets, offering one-on-one support and a code “YOLO” with $200 off or 10% off, and promises a link below.

Speaker 0: The Samurai Wallet software developers are going to prison for writing code. Kiano Rodriguez, who is 37, and William Hill, who is 67, they're gonna spend the next five years and the next four years in prison. All because they invented a Bitcoin wallet that was open source. They were one of the few wallets that was non custodial, did not hold people's Bitcoin, and had a feature that kept people's Bitcoin private. This case wasn't even put on a fair trial. Rather, it's been a mirror to the corruption of the system that we're living in. The court is pulling out messages from twenty eighteen from conversations he was having with friends. So in the text message, Keanu is explaining to his friend how mixing Bitcoin is more about privacy, how it's not about crime, and it's a way for people not to be, like, tracked, you know, and not to see how much Bitcoin they own. Because if you know about Bitcoin, you know that Bitcoin is a public ledger and it can be easily traceable and people can know how much Bitcoin you own. So in order to give him like this huge explanation, he cracks a joke and says, it's like money laundering for Bitcoin. In court, they only put the money laundering part. And you know how much the government loves to relate Bitcoin to money laundering. God forbid, people don't use cash to money launder. God forbid people don't use cash only places to money launder. Okay, and here's where it gets wild. Six months before they were charged, Finson is the actual money transmission regulators. So supposedly, like, they know what they're talking about. Anyways, the DOJ asks them if they were breaking the law. And you know what they said? No. That they were not breaking the law. They were not breaking the law. Because Samurai Wallet does not take custody of their funds. What's even crazier is that the DOJ buried that information and kept it hidden for years. Okay. For a year. Which is a complete violation, meaning they already broke the law, the DOJ, I mean, not the actual samurai wallet holders, and the judge didn't even care. Honestly, this is ridiculous. Look, the truth is, Samurai Wallet operated legally for ten years with legal advice. They never took custody of anyone's Bitcoin, so they weren't like a financial institution or anything. They were just a service. And last year, 50 FBI agents raided his house like he was El Chapo or something. What's even crazier is I don't understand why they're being prosecuted when literally Tom Blanche, Trump's deputy attorney, issued a memo in April saying how they're not gonna prosecute software developers because software developers are not committing the crime. It is literally called ending regulation by prosecution because they even know how absurd it is to arrest coders. That's like putting Bill Gates in jail for creating Microsoft because drug dealers use Excel or putting the CEO of OnlyFans in jail because of the content that is on her website. No. And the it gets even crazier. They were even obligated to send over $6,000,000 worth of Bitcoin to the New York justice department, and they sold all that Bitcoin, which again, they're avoiding the laws that Trump is saying because Trump said that any Bitcoin they receive must be held for ten years. And you know what they did? They sold it within the first hour. What the hell is happening with America? Like, they're not even going to spend Christmas with their families because they built a Bitcoin wallet. What's crazy to me is that they were trying to keep Bitcoin private, and they're getting in trouble for it. Like, what the heck is happening? This is the same playbook we've seen over the past decades. We saw this with Ross Ulbrich. Ross had two life sentences for building a website. His sentencing was to teach everybody else a lesson to not mess with them. They are trying to scare us by making privacy scary and evil. Like, no. There is hope because it has been brought up to Trump's attention about the whole samurai wallet. Trump took thirty seven seconds to analyze this and have one of his lawyers look into it to see if he can pardon Keanu and Will. There's a petition that you can sign so you can help them out, and you can also donate to their families. I'm going to put the link below so you can sign this petition and hope that they get released because it's not fair to write code and then have bad people use it and then you go to prison for it rather than the bad people. This case made me realize how dangerous it is to have a single point of failure with your Bitcoin. That's why I partnered with Casa. They let you self custody your wallets with multisig. They have multiple fail safe mechanisms so you can keep your Bitcoin safe. And they also have inheritance planning so if you you can pass on your Bitcoin to your family. They have different plans, and you can literally have one on one support. They give you hardware wallets. It's honestly a seamless process. With the code YOLO, they give you $200 off or 10% off. I'm gonna put the link below, and thank you Casa for sponsoring.
