US Supreme Court refuses to protect Attorney-Client privilege in case regarding Roger Ver
Although Roger wasn't listed by name, I don't know many other early Bitcoin promoters that renounced their citizenship in 2014. Reading the indictment against Roger, I was shocked at how often they were quoting emails between him and his attorneys.
Basically, the government subpoenaed Roger's Ver's lawyers. The law firm tried to not give them everything, and apparently they tried to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court dismissed his law firm's "writ of certiorari" and refused to hear the case.
