Damn three years! Cant he just pay some heavy fines? I thought this was america...Comment -
He would have been a good B rated celebrity to be on Dancing With The Stars.
What a shame.Comment -
3 years for not filing for 3 years? that seems a bit harsh...Comment -
Can you imagine black guys wanting to fuk him in prison??Comment -
sounds a little fishy to me
He was him on Larry King a couple nights ago with his lawyer. Apparently he was the only one of 300 clients of the accounting firm who were also caught cheating to go to jail.
They gave an example of another man you paid a 52 million fine and brought back all his offshore accounts to the USA and got 6 months probation. No jail time.
The lawyer said that Snipes was a "trophy" case that some judge can say he put away because is famous.Last edited by DwightShrute; 12-09-10, 01:44 PM.Comment -
His career was in the shiitter anyway, take a break homie.
3 yrs federal is a bit harsh tho'.Comment -
He'll be out by Spring Break.Comment -

How much jail time does Congressman Charlie Rangel get for not paying taxes for the past 17 years?Comment -
That sucks for him....3 years...ouchComment -
So true. Wes should have to trot up in front of the House while someone reads some terrible stuff abt him and calls him names. That will teach him.
OR, he could have made the same deal Nic Cage made. That is, "I promise to do 5 crappy movies in a row to pay you guys off!!"Comment -
The guy is a brutal actor so maybe he'll learn to act while in the joint.Comment -
What else do you expect from a police state? Surprised they didn't just hang him. Country is broke as hell yet we have 15K per year to piss away sticking people like this in jail.Comment -
I suppose the definition of what America stands for has changed over the years. Who knows what it might be by the time Snipes gets out?
Plaxico Burress had a gun that was registered in Florida but not in New York. They were willing to destroy his life over it. The same mayor that was cheering for the Giants that previous Superbowl Sunday decided to use him to set an example. Sick. He almost shot his own dick off. Many of the laws in this country make no sense at all.Comment -
i agree darkComment -
Dude knew the law, took a chance, got busted. Too bad.Comment -
really cant believe this guy will do the time. You get the feeling from the interview he and that crooked ass attorney did on espn he had something up his sleeve. Seems like this is something to prove a point involved. He will not do much time , if any at all I assure you!Comment -
brings to mind that other fuken liar the idiot that assured the nation "one million % sure Cam Newton was inocent..yeah rightComment -
No doubt they made an example out of him. But that kind of goes with the territory of being famous. I wonder if the offered him a pre-trial plea? He was found not gulity on something like 8 charges so its likely he couldnt even plead for less than 3 years. Really quite a shame. The sentence could have been a fat fine instead the taxpayers have to pay for a tax stiff to live in jail for over 2 years.Comment -
Wasn't part of the story that he did some work in Africa and made millions and then When the IRS said he should have to pay taxes on that too (which is the law) he refused?Comment -
Snipes made 37M in a 5 year period and felt he shouldn't pay any taxes. Once a celebrity case gets attention, the Feds are going to go all out to look good. Should have just paid the taxes and been done with it.Comment -
Damn, I wonder what it must be like for somebody like him in there... Is daily rape a given, or are we watching Hollywood movies too much?Comment -
Snipes will end up in the adjacent satellite minimum security prison camp, according to Federal Bureau of Prison spokesman Edmond Ross.
He'll probably be fine , should be mostly non violent offendersComment
