According to VitalikButerin, the legal case against Roger for non-violent tax offenses seems politically motivated, highlighting discrepancies in sentencing compared to corporations with more severe allegations.

According to BitMEX Research, a book that could have been very insightful if written by Roger, who attended numerous key cryptocurrency events and was privy to behind-the-scenes discussions, unfortunately, appears to be a mere rehash of arguments from 2017. This suggests the book lacks fresh insights or new information that could be valuable for traders seeking historical context or strategic insights into past crypto debates.

According to BitMEX Research, the book in question, which was believed to be authored by Roger, does not seem to include his input. The book lacks introspection and analysis regarding what proponents of larger block sizes could have improved upon with the benefit of hindsight. Despite this, it serves as a valuable reference for understanding the large block perspective prevalent at that time.

According to BitMEXResearch, Roger's brief trip to Spain for a crypto event turned into an unexpected situation when he was arrested in the hotel lobby in Barcelona. Initially, Roger believed the person approaching him was interested in discussing cryptocurrency.
