These allegations by Mark Lamb were thrown down shortly after when ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ took to Twitter as well to deny any debt in his name. He even threw back the accusations at CoinFlex, which allegedly owed Ver a considerably large amount of money.
Recently some rumors have been
spreading that I have defaulted on a
debt to a counter-party. These rumors
are false. Not only do I not have a debt
to this counter-party, but this counter-
party owes me a substantial sum of
money, and I am currently seeking the
return of my funds.— Roger Ver (@rogerkver) June 28, 2022
Yet, the truth about who owes who money, in reality, has not yet been disclosed, as speculation continues.
