Roger Ver, also known as 'Bitcoin Jesus' due to his support for cryptocurrency, is currently facing serious legal issues as he has been charged with tax evasion by U.S. prosecutors.

The Internal Revenue Service claims that Ver did not pay taxes on more than $48 million after selling $240 million worth of digital tokens.

This case is significant because it focuses solely on tax fraud related to the sale of digital assets, setting it apart from previous prosecutions that typically involved tax charges connected to other criminal activities like money laundering or investor scams.

The outcome of this case could establish important precedents for the enforcement of tax regulations in the rapidly changing world of digital currencies.
