The U.S. Department of Justice has confirmed a $49.9 million settlement with Roger Ver, known as 'Bitcoin Jesus,' to resolve tax-evasion charges linked to his pre-2014 Bitcoin holdings. Under a deferred-prosecution agreement, Ver will pay the amount in taxes, penalties, and interest, with criminal charges to be dismissed upon full compliance. The case involved allegations of concealing Bitcoin through offshore entities and filing false tax returns, marking one of the earliest significant crypto tax disputes. Ver was arrested in Spain in April 2024 and extradited to the U.S. for the proceedings.
