It will then petition the President, the Department of Justice, and members of Congress for their release, in addition to coordinating public outreach campaigns to garner support.
The Libertarian National Committee is now turning its attention to Roger “Bitcoin Jesus” Ver, an early investor in cryptocurrency and former Libertarian candidate who was arrested in Spain earlier this year on U.S. tax evasion charges.
