Ask Dr. Drew
Roger Ver, Jan 6ers, Ross Ulbricht: Who Should Trump Pardon First? w/ Attorney Robert Barnes & Aaron Day – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 435

He'd been talking about it for years, about how the various intelligence communities around the world are trying to suppress our opportunity of ordinary people to have financial freedom. And all of a sudden, two weeks after that book is published, he is suddenly indicted. And an indictment is later unsealed. He's arrested. He's being held with extradition in Spain.

He was originally jailed in the same place they jailed John McAfee, also on tax charges. And he ended up dead in Spain. So he does get bail pending the challenge of the extradition. And he filed a motion to dismiss that revealed extraordinary government malfeasance and misconduct in his case.

So I was a suspect of his case from day one because I was like, why are they targeting this guy that's a high profile political critic over an eclectic tax theory? I do a lot of criminal tax law. They're trying to take criminal tax cases now and use them to create new tax law. For example, the exit tax has always been considered constitutionally questionable.

It says if you give up your citizenship, suddenly all your property gets treated as income. That's not a legally credible approach. And yet he still went forward and paid all that and did all that, and they just decided to retroactively prosecute him for money he'd made outside the United States while he was not a U.S. citizen from non-U.S. sources.

It's never been done in American history, the prosecution of Roger Ver. The theory that you can use an exit tax to criminally prosecute someone when the tax itself is likely unconstitutional and they want to impose a national property tax on us. I mean, Warren is smart. She calls it a wealth tax. It's a property tax. That's unconstitutional.

Roger Ver, Jan 6ers, Ross Ulbricht: Who Should Trump Pardon First? w/ Attorney Robert Barnes & Aaron Day – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 435

We require apportionment for direct taxes unless it's an income tax in America. And property taxes by the Supreme Court's ruling are excluded from the definition of income. So they're trying to redefine the word income. They're trying to target this high-profile political critic of their system. They're trying to create novel interpretation of tax law.

And they're all doing this by trying to imprison him for 109 years. That's what he's looking at. Roger Ver is looking at 109 years for filing tax returns, according to what his own accountants and attorneys told him to. And it turned out the government lied. Our own U.S.

attorneys lied to the Spanish courts and now may be under criminal investigation in Spain based on this motion to dismiss that Roger Ver just filed. That is a legal team just filed.

And they lied to the Spanish courts and said, oh, no, his attorneys told him to do the exact opposite of what he did. So they knew they were lying because they had actually broken attorney-client privilege. This case went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. They stole a bunch of his attorney-client file records. They executed a search warrant, unheard of also, in the tax arena.

You're supposed to have attorney-client privilege protection. They got all of his information. But what it showed was he had followed their advice all the way through. He said, whatever we do, I want to make sure I do it correctly. Because I know how the government harasses people that are going to be critical.
