ChainCatcher 消息,据路透社报道,本月初,美国司法部宣布与“比特币耶稣”Roger Ver 达成暂缓起诉协议,其欺诈和逃税指控将被撤销,作为交换,他需支付最高 4990 万美元罚金。

Roger Ver 作为最早一批比特币布道者,2011 年以不足 300 万美元的成本大量买入比特币。2014 年 2 月为了规避高额税负,他在加入加勒比岛国圣基茨和尼维斯国籍后,次月便放弃了美国国籍。彼时他与名下公司共持有至少 13.1 万枚比特币,按当时币价计算价值超 7000 万美元。他原以为换一个国籍,美国的高税负就能就此翻篇。

然而美国严苛的“弃籍税”让他的算盘彻底落空。根据美国税法,符合条件的弃籍者须将名下全球资产“视同在弃籍前一天出售”并缴纳资本利得税。Ver 虽申报缴税 103 万美元,但不仅未申报个人持有的比特币,还严重低估了公司资产。十年后美国国税局查实其造假逃税行为(造假逃税不受追诉期限制),最终迫使其补缴最高 4990 万美元的税款、罚款及利息,实际追缴额是当年自报缴税的 48 倍。
