Bitcoin Jesus Pays $50 Million to Resolve Tax Evasion Case
Cryptocurrency investor Roger Ver, known as Bitcoin Jesus, has settled a federal tax evasion indictment by paying nearly $50 million. The agreement allows him to avoid admitting guilt, despite admitting to failing to pay taxes on Bitcoin sales after renouncing his U.S. citizenship. The case involved profits from selling crypto tokens and led to his arrest and appeal for pardon, which was ultimately denied.
