Wesley Snipes To Head to Jail
For those who didn’t know, Florida is suing Wesley Snipes for tax evasion. Snipes and his lawyers are claiming he is the victim of his accountants, and either thought his taxes were being paid or honestly thought he did not have to pay them! Not only that, but earlier in the week he sent a threatening letter to the IRS, telling them to back off or it would “open the door for your increased collateral risk”, and that it’s in their best interests to settle this in another way.
Clearly the IRS is not to be intimidated, and they went ahead with the suit. After not calling a single witness to the stand, Wesley Snipes and his lawyers rested their case!
He’s most likely going to end up going to jail, or at the very least having to pay back all $11 million of the taxes he was supposed to pay. Either way, I doubt he’ll learn his lesson!
