Libertarians are mobilizing support for cryptocurrency entrepreneur Roger Ver, framing him as a victim of government overreach akin to Ross Ulbricht, in a bid to highlight his case before the upcoming midterm elections.
Libertarian Party Advocates for the Release of Political Prisoner Roger Ver
As Cassandra MacDonald reported in The Gateway Pundit, the Libertarian Party is turning Roger Ver’s legal battle into its latest rallying cry. MacDonald detailed the party’s official X account, @LPNational, stated it is “dedicated to fighting for justice & individual liberty, including advocating for the release of political prisoner Roger Ver,” a “trailblazer for economic freedom through cryptocurrency.”
Ver faces a potential 109-year sentence following his April 2024 arrest in Spain on U.S. charges including mail fraud and tax evasion, sought for extradition by the Biden administration. He vehemently denies all charges and many view the charges against Ver as unfair. He’s drawn backing from a wide range of voices including Ross Ulbricht, Vitalik Buterin, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Mario Nawfal, and Mike Adams—along with a long list of other supporters.
Libertarians vehemently reject the charges as politically motivated persecution, arguing Ver is being targeted for promoting cryptocurrency and challenging state authority. MacDonald reported that the Libertarian Party’s account asserted the case aims to silence dissent, declaring, “The lawfare must stop.” The Gateway Pundit reporter further notes that prominent libertarian voices online and figures like 2020 Libertarian VP candidate Spike Cohen echo this view.
Libertarians hope channeling the energy seen in backing Ulbricht – whose pardon promise boosted their 2024 support for Trump – behind Ver’s case will galvanize voters and impact key midterm races, positioning government overreach against economic freedom as a pivotal issue. MacDonald’s editorial points out that this move is designed to spotlight Ver’s predicament ahead of the upcoming elections.
The Libertarian message rings loud: a defense of free minds, free markets, and untethered lives. In this battle, sitting on the sidelines is a choice in itself. Stand for all liberties—or give freedom up entirely.
