> The US Government's contention that a non-citizen can be guilty of tax evasion is just laughable on its face. Exit tax is due when you renounce citizenship, at which point you're still a citizen. There's also plenty of non-citizens who have to pay US taxes, e.g. everyone with shares in a pass through LLC. And if they commit fraud doing so, they can get charged with that. He'll probably settle for a nominal fiat amount that's less than the value of Bitcoin he would have had to sell back in the day. Meanwhile he gets some TV attention with, indeed, the absolute insane idea that his book need CIA suppression. And Tucker gets to make money promoting nonsense. Everyone wins? :-)

I know this is 100% besides the point but I'll say it anyway: Just owning a US LLC does not make you personally liable for taxes in the US. You do need to file an "informational" tax return for the LLC, but that doesn't mean having to pay taxes (just on its own, there might be other reasons that may mean you need to pay).
