Wesley Snipes was taken into custody by federal authorities Friday morning, after arriving at Orlando International Airport. Snipes said he was a scapegoat and unfairly targeted by prosecutors in connection with a federal tax fraud investigation. He’d been shooting a movie in Namibia.Actually, Wesley was ‘unfairly targeted’ for failing to pay nearly $12 million in taxes, claiming refunds in 1996 and 1997 and then failing to file returns between 1999 and 2006. Seems those Feds just won’t leave a man alone, even after he unfairly targeted and wiped out half the vampire population.
Late News: The star of the 'Blade' vampire movies has reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whereby he will adhere to a payment plan in exchange for not serving a prison sentence, entertainment daily Variety reported. The deal will also enable Snipes, who is currently in Namibia shooting a horror movie, to continue working and travelling abroad.
Great that Wes could lay his hands on that sort of cash at short notice and that the IRS were so accommodating. So, if any of you are having a few problems out there, remember the IRS will cut deal with you – they'll do it with anyone. That much is clear.
Why not put it to the test, what do you suggest?
ReplyDeleteGreat I bet you he's been at some charity do asking for people who pay their taxes and are much poorer than him to give money to a charity of his choice and trying to make them feel guilty about doing it.
ReplyDeleteWesley is loosely with a cult headquarted around here called the Nuwaubians, so I've always thought he was a bit off his head ... It's such a shame that he gets so persecuted by the man!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out these Nuwaubians. Thanks Ellee and Gracchi too.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the link that you were referring to, as the first two entries were yours. How did you manage that? Do you have a deal with google?
