比特币投资者和软件公司 MicroStrategy 的创始人 Michael Saylor 因涉嫌税务欺诈而被起诉抱怨 由美国特区总检察长卡尔·拉辛 (Karl Racine) 提出。这位政府官员说，这位亿万富翁已经在该州生活了大约十年，但据称未能履行纳税义务。
哥伦比亚特区检察官还将对 Saylor 的公司 MicroStrategy 提起法律诉讼。政府官员声称该公司被用来帮助 Saylor 逃税，同时赚取“他在 DC 生活期间赚取的数亿美元”，Racine 通过他的官方 Twitter 句柄说。
政府官员添加 :
这是根据哥伦比亚特区最近修订的《虚假申报法》提起的第一起诉讼，该法鼓励举报人举报通过歪曲住所 (...) 来逃避税法的居民。通过这起诉讼，我们提醒居民和雇主注意，如果您享受生活在我们伟大城市的所有好处，同时拒绝缴纳您应得的税款，我们将追究您的责任。
根据诉状，塞勒拥有哥伦比亚特区“数千万美元的税收”。该文件称，该高管“欺诈性地声称自己是佛罗里达州的居民”，同时“保持他在哥伦比亚特区的住所和居住地”。
投诉称塞勒拥有“乔治城海滨的豪华顶层公寓”和“多艘游艇”。据称，这种未报告的税收活动已经进行了 20 多年。该文件声称：
该地区根据《虚假申报法》和该地区的税法提起诉讼，要求被告 Saylor 和 MicroStrategy 对 Saylor 支付地区所得税的义务负责。学区要求支付所欠税款、罚款、利息、三倍损害赔偿金以及法律规定的所有其他补救措施。
比特币投资让 Michael Saylor 陷入困境？
此外，该文件声称迈克尔塞勒未能就 2005 年以来的任何投资提交税务报告。这包括他在 2020 年购买的比特币，据称这使他获得了超过 10 亿美元的利润。
此外，Michael Saylor 显然已经表示比特币是“逃税的理想工具”，该文件声称同时补充道：
比特币的所有者可以告诉他们的政府“去他妈的”，并声称已经丢失了他们的比特币访问密钥，敢于让政府“征税”！

Saylor 或 MicroStrategy 尚未对诉讼发表评论。这位高管在社交媒体平台上非常活跃，随着有关投诉的消息公之于众，Saylor 刚刚发布了关于比特币保护人们财富的力量的推文，“因此你不必将你的钱托付给任何人”。
