Crypto investor 'Bitcoin Jesus' reaches deal to resolve US tax charges

(Reuters) -An early investor in bitcoins dubbed the "Bitcoin Jesus" has agreed to pay up to $49.9 million to resolve U.S. charges that he evaded paying tens of millions of dollars in taxes, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Tuesday. Roger Ver entered into a deferred prosecution agreement resolving mail fraud and tax evasion charges pending against him in federal court in Los Angeles that had led to his arrest in Spain last year.
