PANews reported on October 10th that early Bitcoin investor Roger Ver ("Bitcoin Jesus") has reached a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the US Department of Justice, agreeing to pay approximately $48 million to settle tax fraud and tax evasion charges. The charges will be dismissed if the terms are met. Ver was indicted in 2024 for failing to pay approximately $48 million in taxes on crypto assets, and this year he hired a team of lawyers and lobbyists that previously defended Trump. Documents also indicate that he paid $600,000 to Roger Stone to seek tax changes. The case has not yet been brought to court, and details are subject to change.
