How Did They Get Roger Ver’s Private Emails?
 | I've been reading up on Roger Ver's case, and something seriously doesn’t make sense to me. The government seems to have access to private conversations he had with his lawyers, which are supposed to be protected by attorney-client privilege. You know, the whole "talk to your lawyer without worrying it'll be used against you" thing. You can read more about what that means here: https://law.usnews.com/law-firms/advice/articles/what-are-privileged-communications But in the indictment, they keep citing emails between Ver and his attorneys. For example, they mention how in 2012, Ver gave his law firm a list of assets and some exit tax calculation. For example, they mention how in 2012, Ver gave his law firm a list of assets and some exit tax calculation. Like, how did the government get their hands on these emails? Was it through his lawyers? Did they somehow just seize it? How did they get this info? Again, how are these private conversations being used in the indictment? How did they get these emails? Were they turned over by Ver or one of his attorneys, or were they secured by other methods? Shouldn’t Ver have been able to fight this? Does anyone know how this works? Is the government overreaching here or what’s the deal? And where’s Ver’s case at right now? Why is there no updates? [link] [comments] |
