Wesley Snipes was ordered to report to the Federal Bureau of Prisons to serve a 36 month term for tax related crimes.

Snipes, 48, an Orlando-born star of "Jungle Fever," "White Men Can't Jump," and the Fugitive sequel "U.S. Marshals," was convicted in 2008 of three misdemeanor counts of willfully failing to file federal tax returns.

3 misdemeanors will get you 3 years in prison? Don't fuck with the IRS I guess.

CDSmith · 11-19-2010, 11:57 AM

If you're famous and a movie star you get "asked" to report to prison.

The rest of us get taken there, forcibly if necessary.

fatfoo · 11-19-2010, 11:58 AM

A federal judge today rejected movie star (best known for Blade) Wesley Snipes' demand for a new trial and ordered the actor to surrender to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to begin serving a 36-month prison sentence for tax-related crimes.

This sounds quite serious. This breaking news is a big surprise to me.

Damn that's a shame I like his movie

Why is it a shame? He was making millions and he failed to pay his taxes. Fuck him,

MrBottomTooth · 11-19-2010, 12:18 PM

3 years seems ridiculous.

Now the taxpayers have to support him in prison for 3 years, and he has no chance to go out and work for those three years to make the millions of dollars he usually makes, which would have resulted in millions more paid in income taxes.

I think making him pay his taxes along with hefty fines and interest owing would have been more effective. Maybe he'll get out in a month though, like most celebrities.

I believe at least 85% of time must be served in Federal prison.

don't drop the soap. if you do just leave it there.

Only needs to cry a bit and he'll be let out early.

they threw the book at him because he was associated with the tax-protester movement and used them for his defense.

no government likes the legitimacy of it's tax regime changed.

wild johnny · 11-19-2010, 01:39 PM

I guess what ever that tax shelter was gets a fail.

Too bad he has to do time in club fed. But they will surely spin it into a movie.

It wouldn't have resulted in millions of tax dollars if he never pays, LOL.

But I agree, prison for tax evasion always seems very weird. Nobody is really directly impacted. Yet we have guys running ponzi schemes and destroying pension funds, literally ruining lives, and nothing happens to them.

Think this has been brewing for quite a while now. Something creepy about him.. cant put my finger on it.

PornMD · 11-19-2010, 04:31 PM

Wonder if he'll come out of prison as Simon Phoenix.

I agree. Three years is crazy. Snipes was dumb as hell. He got involved with one of those guys who convinced him that the the constitution says US citizens don't have to pay taxes. So not only did he no file or pay for several years, he actually filed an amended return to try to get back 4 million he had paid in.

So he is dumb, but sending him to jail doesn't really benefit anyone. If he got a huge fine and was probation so he could work he could earn money, pay back what he owes and keep paying into the system it would be better. Just make part of his parole that he has to file every year. Now his already waning career is going to go further down the drain so the chances of him paying all this back in a timely way just went way down.

LeRoy · 11-19-2010, 04:44 PM

He prolly pissed off the judge during the trial. This is a big no no if your'e found guilty.

3 Years goes by fast though.

I wonder if they allow conjugal visits in Federal Prison.

I don't imagine 3 years in prison going very fast

thickcash_amo · 11-19-2010, 06:02 PM

Why can't he just pay the taxes and call it even? Wouldn't that be better for the IRS anyway?

scubadiver626 · 11-19-2010, 06:19 PM

Its called making an example out of someone. Half of congress is guilty of non payment. Its a fear tactic more than anything else to keep us good sheep in line.

I actually read where the prosecutor asked the judge to throw the book at him and make an example of him because he is famous.

Mutt · 11-19-2010, 06:38 PM

i think in this case his being a celebrity worked against him, the goverment is using him as an example. his being black, really not sure that if Tom Cruise had done the same thing whether he'd have received 3 years in prison.

scubadiver626 · 11-19-2010, 07:16 PM

The IRS has said it many times, "We don't want to ruin lives, we just want the money."

For 99% of Americans in default, jail time for taxes is not in the cards.

The CA Franchise Tax Board is actually THE worst people you ever want to owe money too. Sadly I speak from experience.

Yup and there is no good time work time. He will do 85%-90% of the time and nothing will stop that.

The government does not fuck around when you don't pay your taxes.

Not a chance. This is a federal case and they dont play Hollywood games.

directfiesta · 11-19-2010, 10:58 PM

Shouldn't the tea baggers run to his defense ????

He has the same approche ... Don't take my hard earned money ...

His own stupidity and deserves it.the greed will bite you one day

xxweekxx · 11-19-2010, 11:35 PM

stupid america.. 3 years in prison for not paying taxes??

thats why we have the highest # of ppl in prison

just seize the guys' assets and make him pay all back taxes+ huge penalties..

the dumbness of our justice system never ceases to amaze me

xxweekxx · 11-19-2010, 11:36 PM

u guys saying he deserves it u do realize it'll cost almost $100k of tax payers money for the 3 years he will be there..PRISONS are for violent criminals or people who fucked other peoples lives up

all he did was owe the IRS, the IRS should fine him, seize his shit, and get their money

stupid fags

Nothing to do with "teabaggers' but the Red Herring was cute as it went by. Snipes bought into the myth that the IRS has no legal auathority to collect taxes. Found out he was wrong.

not really, he was the poster child for the "you dont really need to pay any taxes" group. If they had let him off, it would have sent a message to the THOUSANDS of followers of his movement "dont pay taxes like me and nothing will happen to you". So now instead of missing a few million they would be looking at losing hundreds of millions of taxes, and if all those people weren't punished it would result in an even bigger loss. Kill the head of the snake the body will wither away.

i agree, it had nothing to do with race or hollywood but using tax-resister, denier arguments and practices. people who do that in court always end up with heavy jail terms. it is one thing to keep two sets of books, is it another to call into question he legitimacy of the tax system, no matter how misguided.
