Overview

• Under the proposed terms, Ver would pay roughly $48 million in restitution tied to unpaid taxes on his bitcoin holdings.
• Prosecutors would move to drop the case if he complies with the conditions of the deferred-prosecution deal.
• The agreement has not been filed with the court, may be revised, and neither the DOJ nor Ver has confirmed details publicly.
• The 2024 indictment alleges he hid the scope of his bitcoin by misleading a law firm and an appraiser, leading to false tax filings and an estimated $48 million loss to the IRS.
• Ver was arrested in Spain during a U.S. extradition effort, and his defense later turned to Trump-aligned advisers while he claimed the prosecution was politically motivated.
