US EditionRoger Ver Reportedly Near U.S. Tax Settlement
Roger Ver agreed to a deferred-prosecution deal requiring $48 million in restitution to resolve charges of tax evasion related to 131,000 Bitcoin holdings, avoiding prison if compliant.
- Roger Ver has reportedly agreed to pay roughly $48 million in a tentative deferred-prosecution deal with the U.S. Department of Justice that could keep him out of prison, The New York Times reported Thursday.
- The case began after the U.S. Department of Justice charged Roger Ver in April 2024 with mail fraud and tax evasion related to his 2014 renunciation of U.S. citizenship and failure to report crypto gains.
- His legal team has also retained lawyers linked to President Trump's circle and allegedly paid $600,000 to longtime Republican strategist Roger Stone, while a hearing is scheduled for Dec. 15, 2025 and the settlement is absent from the DOJ public court docket.
- The reported deal would close one of the last major tax-related cases from the early Bitcoin era and reflect a softer enforcement approach under President Donald Trump, observers say.
- Speculation intensified after the crypto community pushed pardon talk, with Polymarket odds rising from 23% to 29%, despite a reported $30 million bid to buy a pardon collapsing.
