Roger Ver Reaches Deferred Prosecution Deal, to Pay Up to $49.9M

The deferred prosecution structure, rather than a conviction, keeps the case in civil-enforcement territory while still extracting a substantial recovery for the IRS. For the crypto sector, the signal is that exit-tax and expatriation compliance for early holders remains an active enforcement priority, even years after the underlying events. The open question is whether the dismissal proceeds on schedule and whether the IRS's recovery figure holds at the stated maximum, since the deal's terms rather than a judicial ruling now define the outcome.
