If You Supported Freeing Ross, You Must Support Freeing Roger
After enduring over a decade of draconian imprisonment, Ross Ulbricht is finally free. But freedom is not something Ross can fully celebrate while others continue to be persecuted by the same corrupt system that sought to make an example out of him. That’s why, in a powerful statement on X, Ross has now turned his attention to another victim of government overreach—Roger Ver. Free Roger Ver!
“Roger Ver was there for me when I was down and needed help. Now Roger needs our support. No one should spend the rest of their life in prison over taxes. Let him pay the tax (if any) and be done with it. #FreeRoger”
Roger Ver, a pioneer in the cryptocurrency space and a long-time advocate for individual liberty, is now facing the full weight of a weaponized government hellbent on crushing those who dare to challenge its monopoly on power. His extradition and prosecution represent yet another miscarriage of justice in a system designed to protect its own corruption while ruthlessly punishing those who step out of line. The campaign to Free Roger Ver must be our priority.
The Hypocrisy of the State
The same government that bails out Wall Street criminals turns a blind eye to Pentagon fraud and allows tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy is now attempting to lock up Roger Ver for life over—what? Alleged tax issues? Meanwhile, the IRS can “lose” billions, government officials can openly engage in insider trading, and the politically connected can evade taxes with impunity. This is why we must support the cause to Free Roger Ver.
Roger Ver has spent his life advocating for economic freedom, voluntaryism, and the right of individuals to control their own wealth. His work in spreading Bitcoin adoption helped lay the foundation for the decentralized financial revolution we are witnessing today. Yet, rather than celebrate his contributions to innovation and financial sovereignty, the state seeks to make an example of him.
If You Supported Freeing Ross, You Must Support Freeing Roger
The campaign to free Ross Ulbricht united libertarians, free speech advocates, and anti-authoritarian voices across the spectrum. The injustice of Ross’s sentencing was so egregious that even those outside the crypto space saw it for what it was—an attempt to send a chilling message to anyone daring to build decentralized systems outside government control. Now, we need a similar effort to Free Roger Ver.
But the war against financial freedom isn’t over. If you stood for Ross, then you must stand for Roger. The same machine that sought to bury Ross is now coming after Roger, and it won’t stop there. The precedent being set is clear: if you challenge the state’s grip on money, commerce, and individual sovereignty, they will come for you. This is the moment to Free Roger Ver.
A Moment to Act
Ross Ulbricht’s release was not just a victory for one man—it was a victory against an unjust system. But we cannot stop now. If we allow Roger Ver to be silenced, persecuted, and locked away for life over nothing more than financial disputes, we are conceding that the state can weaponize its tax code against anyone it deems a threat.
Ross knows what it’s like to be railroaded by a system designed to crush dissent. That’s why his call to action matters. We must not let the state pick off the champions of liberty one by one.
The fight for freedom is far from over. Visit FreeRogerNow.org and take action today. Spread the word, contact lawmakers, and refuse to be silent in the face of this injustice. If we could #FreeRoss, we can #FreeRoger too. The time to act is now to Free Roger Ver.
