On March 17, Cointelegraph reported that Marla Maples, the second ex-wife of former U.S. President Donald Trump, publicly supported ending the prosecution of early Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver.

Maples posted on March 16 via social platform X, sharing a video calling for the withdrawal of the charges against Ver and @Trump, Elon Musk, and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bundy in the post.

The U.S. Department of Justice charged Ver in April 2024 with mail fraud, tax evasion, and filing false tax returns, alleging that he concealed the amount of bitcoin he owned when he renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and defrauded the IRS of about $48 million for failing to report the proceeds from the sale of bitcoin.

There have been several high-profile calls for an end to the prosecution of Ver, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. Ver had asked Trump for a pardon, claiming to be the victim of a "legal battle."
