(Reuters) -An early cryptocurrency investor dubbed the "Bitcoin Jesus" has agreed to pay up to $49.9 million to resolve charges he evaded tens of millions of dollars in taxes, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a court filing on Tuesday.
Roger Ver entered into a deferred prosecution agreement resolving mail fraud and tax evasion charges in federal court in Los Angeles after publicly campaigning earlier this year for President Donald Trump to "help to end this lawfare."
