The first crypto investor called “Bitcoin Jesus” to pay up to $ 49.9 million to resolve fees, avoiding tens of millions of dollars in taxes, the US Ministry of Justice said on Tuesday.
Roger Ver concluded a postponed prosecution agreement that resolved the fees for fraud and tax evasion at the Federal Court of Los Angeles, after publicly released President Donald Trump campaigns and “helped to end this rights”.
In the end, no grace appeared. But the agreement that has been achieved with Trump’s administration, which captured a friendly view of the crypto sector, will ensure that it can avoid convicted at any time before the court.
The agreement requires that the indictment against Ver, 46, should be rejected after one month if it observes the terms of the agreement according to which the internal income service can collect up to $ 49.9 million, applying its tax liability, civil punishment and interest.
Ver was represented by Christopher Kise, a lawyer who had previously represented Trump. Kise did not answer immediately to the request for comment.

Ver, who served for some time as the CEO of the Digital Wallets Developer Bitcoin.com, began to win Bitcoins of cryptocurrencies in 2011 and actively promoted it and earned him the name “Bitcoin Jesus”.
