Well... He was at the center of arguably bitcoins biggest schizm. What ended up being the losing side and viewed by the majority as someone that attacked bitcoin.
The guy is passionate and emotional. And became a bit of a lightning rod.
He renounced his US citizenship which was his right. But did not pay the taxes (which are draconian in my opinion, but clearly the law) and now acts like the situation he is in is persecution.
I believe you were here for the whole thing?
