Actor Wesley Snipes faces up to three years in prison and a fine of $5 million when he is sentenced Thursday on federal tax evasion charges. Wesley Snipes was acquitted of the most serious charges against him. Federal prosecutors last week urged U.S. District Judge William Hodges in Ocala, Florida, to sentence Snipes to the maximum penalty to demonstrate to taxpayers that refusal to pay income taxes carries severe penalties. Snipes was convicted on three misdemeanor counts of failure to file federal income tax returns. "This case presents the court with a singular opportunity to deter tax fraud nationwide," the government said in its sentencing recommendation. www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/04/24/snipes.sentencing/index.html

Blade got three years for tax evasion at the net worth of 14,000,000 dollars. Over the years and with certain endorsements, this cat has the ability to pay that a few couple of times over, but he has the gall to blame his mistakes on his tax advisors. And from what I caught over the news, Blade has a fine of 5 million dollars and got out his checkbook and wrote 3 different checks. The judge looked at him stupid....
That's a first.
