“The 34-year-old Roger Ver began investing in bitcoins in early 2011—and made his first million from the virtual currency that same year.  His venture MemoryDealers.com, a website that sells discounted computer parts, became the first mainstream business to accept bitcoins as payment. It’s also worth noting that it was through this business that he made his first million, in dollar terms, back in 2003.  Born and raised in Silicon Valley, he moved to Tokyo, Japan in 2005 after serving 10 months in federal prison for selling a product called ‘Pest Control Report 2000’ on eBay.  Ver currently uses bitcoins to pay factories in China to produce electronics components for his company.”
