>In June, Bloomberg News reported that Paul Bilzerian, a former Wall Street raider who served two prison terms for fraud, was claiming to be licensed to process citizenship applications for St. Kitts, where he now lives. Bilzerian helped an entrepreneur named Roger Ver—a provocateur widely known as Bitcoin Jesus—to purchase citizenship on the island. The two men then launched a website called Passports for Bitcoin to help people in places such as China use virtual currency to skirt local laws limiting money transfers. Learning of this, the St. Kitts citizenship unit made a hasty announcement that it wouldn’t be accepting bitcoins as payment. Bilzerian declined to comment for this story.

- mikeyouse 12y agoAnd "Served two prison terms for fraud" doesn't quite do justice to the massive scam he pulled off. He still owes some $60M in restitution but he fled the country and buried all his assets in related party deals with his wife's family. The guy is a complete scumbag. http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-decades-ex-corporate-raider-holds-off-sec-effort-to-collect-62-million-judgment-1410892550 http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-decades-ex-corporate-raider-...
