Roger Case Weir, one of the early adopters of Bitcoin, was arrested in Spain on suspicion of tax evasion and may face extradition to the United States for trial. He posted a video titled "Taxes are theft" on social media, expressing his dissatisfaction with the IRS. The indictment claims that Weir has been suspected of defrauding the US government since 2012, which corresponds to the time when he began planning to renounce his citizenship. The government accuses Weir of causing at least $48 million in losses, which was the result of a large-scale concealment of assets and income over a period of several years.
