Roger Ver Reaches $48 Million Settlement Over Tax Fraud Charges

Roger Ver has agreed to a $48 million settlement to resolve U.S. tax fraud charges related to unreported Bitcoin capital gains. This agreement, reached with the Department of Justice (DOJ), closes a case that began in 2024 when he was indicted for tax evasion and mail fraud. The terms of the settlement require Ver to pay taxes on undisclosed profits from his past sales of Bitcoin, which he sold before renouncing his U.S. citizenship. Ver’s strategy included hiring Roger Stone, a political consultant with ties to former President Trump, to lobby for changes in U.S. tax laws to reduce his financial burden.
