From Wikipedia

Roger Keith Ver (born 1979) is an entrepreneur best known as the first investor in Bitcoin and the Bitcoin ecosystem. He was an early promoter of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related startups and is sometimes known as "Bitcoin Jesus" for his evangelism of cryptocurrency in its early days. While Ver has often been associated with Bitcoin Cash, he has consistently emphasized that he supports any cryptocurrency that functions as "peer-to-peer cash", as originally cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper authored by Satoshi Nakamoto. He previously was CEO of Bitcoin.com, later becoming its Executive Chairman. In 2014, he renounced his United States citizenship after obtaining citizenship in Saint Kitts and Nevis. In 2024, he was indicted for tax fraud but eventually settled the case with the IRS and was not pursued criminally.
