Roger Ver signed a deferred prosecution agreement and paid nearly $50 million in back taxes, penalties, and interest to the IRS. Since 2014, Roger Ver has been a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis. He was arrested in Spain last year and extradited to the United States on related charges. His case was investigated by the IRS Criminal Investigation Cyber Crimes Unit.
