Roger Ver Agrees to $48 Million Settlement in Tax Fraud Case

Crypto pioneer Roger Ver, better known as ‘Bitcoin Jesus’, has reached a $48 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) to resolve charges of tax evasion and fraud. The agreement signifies one of the most notable reversals in crypto enforcement during the Trump administration. Prosecutors alleged that Ver failed to pay taxes on his cryptocurrency holdings when he renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014.
