Согласно сообщению агентства Reuters, в начале этого месяца Министерство юстиции США объявило о достижении соглашения о приостановлении уголовного преследования с "Биткойн Иисусом" Роджером Верем, его обвинения в мошенничестве и уклонении от уплаты налогов будут сняты, в обмен на что он должен выплатить штраф в размере до 49,9 миллиона долларов.Роджер Вер, как один из первых проповедников биткойна, в 2011 году приобрел большое количество биткойнов за менее чем 3 миллиона долларов. В феврале 2014 года, чтобы избежать высоких налогов, он получил гражданство карибского государства Сент-Китс и Невис, а в следующем месяце отказался от гражданства США. В то время он и его компания владели как минимум 131 000 биткойнов, которые по тогдашнему курсу стоили более 70 миллионов долларов. Он полагал, что смена гражданства позволит ему избавиться от высоких налогов в США.Однако строгий "налог на отказ от гражданства" в США полностью разрушил его планы. Согласно налоговому законодательству США, соответствующие условия для отказа от гражданства требуют, чтобы отказавшиеся рассматривали свои глобальные активы как "проданные на день отказа" и уплатили налог на прирост капитала. Хотя Вер заявил о налогах в размере 1,03 миллиона долларов, он не только не задекларировал свои личные биткойны, но и серьезно занижал активы компании. Спустя десять лет Налоговая служба США подтвердила его мошеннические действия по уклонению от уплаты налогов (мошенничество по уклонению от уплаты налогов не подлежит срокам давности), в конечном итоге заставив его выплатить до 49,9 миллиона долларов в виде налогов, штрафов и процентов, фактическая сумма взыскания составила 48-кратную сумму самозаявленных налогов.

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented on "Bitcoin Jesus" Roger Ver, stating that being sentenced to life imprisonment for non-violent tax crimes is absurd.Vitalik indicated that the case against Roger Ver seems to have strong political motives; like Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, many individuals and companies have been charged with much more serious crimes yet face far lighter sentences than what Roger is facing.If the IRS indeed threatened Roger's lawyer to obtain confidential information, that is a malicious act; the right to attorney-client privilege must be protected as inviolable. Genuine good faith errors should be corrected by giving the parties the opportunity to pay taxes (including interest and penalties), rather than through prosecution.

He foresees that this event will have widespread effects, adding, "The U.S. is heavily in debt. When Trump tries to solve economic problems, he will make mistakes that are detrimental to the world. This will affect the entire globe, and we will see the largest economic recession in history."
