Roger on the otherhand was arrested for illegally selling fireworks online, and so invested in bitcoin as a means to work around credit card tracking. Roger has no background in cryptography or software development, he got rich off an early investment in Bitcoin for his illegal fireworks sales, and now comes out telling the community what technical solutions are best for Bitcoin? It's a joke, really.
You're using the wikipedia article as a source for the argument that Roger got rich basically from illegal firework sale, and you attribute his early bitcoin investments to said activity. Now, the Wikipedia article states that he already got rich around 2004 from hist computer parts business, and that his conviction for selling firearms was in 2003.
I'm quite concerned that Roger Ver's heavy-handed involvement in the Bitcoin Scaling debate is partly to blame for the current schism in the Bitcoin environment. It seems quite probable that he has been playing quite some dirty tricks. Still, you got your facts wrong, and even if it was right it ought to be completely irrelevant.
That information I got from the podcast I linked, which I found on reddit. Thanks for you're feedback, I'll work in the adjustments. Do understand it's like Chinese whispers on this topic, I did feel time pressed as peoples money is on the line. Granted not completely accurate it seems, but the end choice I think is still spot on.
