This story about Wesley Snipes being Arrested on Tax Fraud Charges really troubles me. He was arrested on friday morning, 8th november 2006 after arriving at Orlando International Airport. Snipes, 44, was returning from shooting a movie, Gallowwalker, in our beloved continent. Namibia to be precise.
Snipes was charged in October with fraudulently claiming refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid. The star of the Blade trilogy and White Men Can’t Jump was also charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004.
According to the indictment, Snipes had his taxes prepared by accountants with a history of filing false returns to reap payments for their clients.
If convicted, he faces up to 16 years in prison.
I don't know exactly what the real truth is, because he has denied all charges, but I do know that he doesn't deserve to be jailed for the next 16 years of his life. He didnt kill anyone did he? Please let's all pray for him. Lets not forget he is a black man. Strange things happen to them in the USA, especially if they are very successful.
