Wow! I really thought his ass would be in prison for a long time. I mean he failed to file tax returns for six years, and cheated the government out of about 12 million dollars. Some ordinary Joe would have been locked up for a hot ass minute if they did that.
According to Variety, the actor will surrender to federal authorities when he returns to the U.S. next month. In return, he will receive no jail time and will be allowed to pay off his debt with a payment plan. The agreement also allows for Snipes both to continue working and to travel abroad.
WTF!!? It has to be great being a celeb. What about Ron Isley though? I know he is mad as hell.
Everybody ain’t able!
Either it’s a set-up OR the gov’t is rewardin’ his black ass for betraying his own race. It’s fairly common knowledge that Wesley is a bigot against black women. They probably pattin’ his traitor ass on the back.
i AGREE #2 IT’S A SET UP,,DON’T FALL FOR IT WESLEY..
That’s bullshit! That’s all I can think!
Damn.. thats not right.. Blackula beat the IRS.
This is too easy! He better not fall for it.
Remember what happened when they told our ancestors there was a party and food on a boat.
Our government is so corrupt…I am very sickened by the arrangement and I hate to even think about any of the specially funded programs that $12mil could have helped support over the past 6 years…and you are right, it must be nice to be a celebrity because if that was anyone else they would have found their a$$ in jail!
Now if my black ass woulda skipped out on paying my taxes I would be so locked up, but HAMLEY Snipes ignorant ass walkin’ round making movies……
What the Hell!!!????
Shocked.
kind.
**in a calm low tone**> Black bastard.
I’d be in jail for cheating the gov’t outta only a few hundred and this nigga gets by w/millions?!!! It pays to be paid.
dont be mad hes rich your not they can do what average people cant do so stop being mad over someone elses money and get you some
Why GRLNVA…I’m flattered!
LOLOL! I was just thinking the same thing about Ron Isley…lolol.. I KNOW he GOTTA be mad… Maybe Ron wasn’t /isn’t able to set up any payment plans..lolol… Lawd! To be a celeb…(sings like Lyfe) **MUST BE NIIIICCCEEE**
Blacula comment was pretty funny. A celebrity getting away with a crime…What a shocker!
Soon as he gets here the IRS is gonna retract that offer.I’ll bet Ron’s attorneys are filing an appeal as we speak.
Celebs have it made. low jail terms, carry guns etc.
I hope Jet Li Beats the crap outta him!!!!
Just a thought

Don’t you mean a “blk” male celebrity getting away with crime……Now that’s a shocker!
WOW, I thought they were gonna throw the book at his ass. Oh well.
It’s a setup
Think about it. If he goes to jail they dont get 12 mil. If they let him walk he can pay it back. Also we dont really know the facts about this case. DO YOU REALLY THINK WES IS DOING HIS OWN TAXES?? The accounting firm is the one at fault.
yeah but they never come after the accounting firm…they come after you if you owe them…
Of course he wont serve time..
he’s famous.
Shit, Fuck being famous that fool should fry!!
Oh, I almost forgot. Hi everybody! I’m new at concreteloop and I reallllllllly luv this website, ya’ll are a trip!!
Wesley prefers women outside his race. What that means..he got some REALLY close inside connects.
Black people better recognize…what Katt Williams say…Black people need white friends..they’ll come a pick you up without question…
How the hwll can he get off so easily, thats a lotta damn money. The gubbament must think Wesley is White, lettin’ him slide like that.
I just thought about it and it does sound like a damn setup. As soon as he touches the US soil, they will probably have a black hawk and some SWAT team members on his ass.
& Welcome Street (#25)!
Rich people can always “make arrangements” to pay the IRS back because they are paying their money on the back end. They are not like us average Jo’s that get jacked every two weeks on the front end. You have absolutely NO bargaining power when they ALREADY have your money! See, they need him to cough it up. Big difference!
Shiiiit, please believe the govt is gonna get their money, Snipes did 3 movies this year and has 4 coming out next year. As Lil’ Scrappy would say that’s Money In The Bank. Shit, dude made 13 Mill. alone on Blade Trinity so he has the dough, he just didn’t feel like payin. I guess it’s like regular folk gettin paid on Friday and the cable is due on that Monday and they still don’t pay it, all it is…Niggaism on a rich level.LOL ONE!
What up Street
WTF is right…talk about being a lucky mofo.
Thats okay his ass won’t be making any more blockbuster movies…I would put money on that!
HOLLYWOOD SOO FUCKIN TYPICAL AND WHY DOES HE SEEM LIGHTER IN THIS PIC??

Bill Said:
MDean, you are SO Intelligent !!!
Thank-you….
Listen: Loansharks & SMART Criminals (like the mob) never EVER kill a person that owes them money, because, if they do, they will never be repaid that money..It’s best to just give them a beating, scare them a little, and they will then get you your money..
Same thing with the goverment: Do you know how much money Wesley Snipes’ movies Gross ???
He should be able to pay them back after doing 2 or 3 movies…..
Ron Isley isn’t selling records like he use to, which is probably why he didn’t get a similar deal (and he didn’t have a good lawyer….)
Wesley’s Lawyer is a hell of a negotiator !!!!
No, they should put some vaseline on his DSLS and send him straight to prison. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, we’ll holla.
WELL IT COULD BE SETUP BUT THE GOV KNOWS HE CAN PAY BACK THAT MONEY, SO THEYRE TRYING TO GET THEYRE MONEY
READ THIS PART IF NOTHING ELSE:
“His preparer was known to make illegal deductions,” Clay said. “From what I understand, the IRS checked out his clients and found Wesley Snipes on the list. They picked Snipes to send a message.”
NOW READ THE FULL STORY——-
Also charged with Snipes, star of “White Men Can’t Jump” and the “Blade” movies, were Eddie Ray Kahn, of Sorrento, Fla., and Douglas P. Rosile, of Venice, Fla. The indictment says Kahn, founder of American Rights Litigators and its successor, Guiding Light of God Ministries, promoted and sold fraudulent tax schemes.
Snipes’ arrest shows the importance of using qualified tax preparers and not being duped by people who make a living filing faulty tax returns, said Tim Clay, president of ABC Tax Consultants in Brighton.
“His preparer was known to make illegal deductions,” Clay said. “From what I understand, the IRS checked out his clients and found Wesley Snipes on the list. They picked Snipes to send a message.”
Rosile, a CPA, allegedly prepared fraudulent tax returns for ARL members. The indictment says Kahn and Rosile attempted through dishonest means to make it appear as if Snipes had no liability for federal income taxes when in fact he did.
As part of the scheme, according to the indictment, Kahn and Rosile prepared and filed two amended federal income tax returns for Snipes, fraudulently claiming refunds totaling nearly $12 million for 1996 and 1997 income taxes previously paid. Snipes was also accused of not filing federal income taxes from 1999 through 2004.
J. Wray Pearce, a partner with the Pearce Bevill accounting firm in downtown Birmingham, who has done taxes for 40 years, said it is not unusual for people to not file tax returns, especially those going through life-changing events like divorce, bankruptcy, health problems and loss of a job.
“Criminal investigations are rare and yet you see successful, wealthy people trying to get away with tax schemes perpetrated on IRS because they do not think avoiding income tax is a real crime,” Pearce said. “I have represented many clients who for various personal reasons quit filing and then IRS years later found them and they catch up. When you couple fraudulent deductions and shelters with failure to file, the IRS gets aggressive.”
Like Clay, Pearce thinks the IRS and federal officials are using a high-profile indictment against Snipes “as a showcase to deter others from this behavior.”
MDEAN, VERY INTELLIGENT AND RESOURCEFUL
Frankly I don’t give a damn
Sambo don’t like black women so whatever

Bill Said:
MDean, your a Bad MF…
I need you on MY legal Team !!!
Preach !!!!!
Apparently you dont have nothing else to do with your life i feel sorry for you
Wow
Wesley can woop black women asses and get away with not paying taxes
man, white men can get away with anything..lol
Congratulations to Wes, Im happy when any black man beats the law. It wasnt murder or anything harmfull so yall should be happy for him. As for the goverment, fuck them hoes. I applaud Wesley for cheating them out of Millions. Big ups to him!!
THE GOVERNMENT AINT SHIT!
Now I just knew they were going to lock his a$$ up and throw away the key just like they did Ron.
It must be nice to be a celebrity.
How they gonna lock Mr. Biggs up and let Wesley dark ass go free? WTF he must know somebody who works for the IRS.
Well, how much did this dude MAKE to owe 12mil?? The Gobment does tax the hell outta folks.
You mean to tell me that Ashy Larry got off with a slap on the wrist!! Aww c’mon!!! His ass should be locked up just for being stupid enough to try and con the IRS. AND for being the asshole that punched Halle Berry!!
And so go the lives of the Rich & Famous, OR somebody up in that Government office is a huge Wesley fan with big ass strings to pull- apart from Wesley with his own strings OR Wesley’s actually gonna get punked!
damn, who’s his lawyer?….cuz my ass would hav been under the jail for 12 million dollars!!! Isn’t Ron Isley in deep trouble for this too?
One more example of how you can get away with everything if you are rich. Courts ain’t biased against black people. Courts are biased against poor black people. Rich black folks get off all the time.
I am upset that this fugly loser didn’t get to do time for his crime.
After all of his ignorant comments about black and puerto Rican women, God Pitty this fool!!
Let’s hope he doesn’t have another N*gger moment!
@ #49, Hater, I agree with you…. poor folks don’t have a chance… OJ still walkin’ around aint he? Look how many times DMX have gotten arrested this year alone! Money gets you off.
Wesley Snipes made 12 million dollars on the last Blade picture. Per every film he makes that is a hit…the average budget of a Blade film is about 50 million dollars, half of which gets taxed, one way or another. In DVD and video sales/rentals, cable, satelite, and broadcast television after market sales and merchandise product tie-ins. That’s worth about 200 million or more to the economy…and half of that money goes to the government. With all that cash being stimulated by Wesley Snipes film projects…the IRS nets half of the money…hence making Snipes more valuble to the IRS free than locked up in prison.
Nevertheless, Snipes intrusted his money to accountants who misdirected the money without his knowledge. If that very same thing happened to any of you…would you agree that you should be put in prison for an act of tax fraud commited by someone else…in your name…without your knowledge??? Well, the answer is a clear no!!!
The IRS, will now essentially act as Snipes’ business partner in the movie business. The more money Snipes and his films make, the more money the IRS makes…and the better off everyone is in terms of the positive impact to the economy over all.
Please forgive me peeps for straying a lil of topic but just noticed a striking resemblance, do y’all see it?
http://jermanartglass.com/angler_jpg.html
Matter of fact, couldn’t Wes pass for Kanye’s dad? Check the name similarity: Kanye WESt/WESley Snipes? They have both been blessed by the ugly fairy AND are heavily oversubscribed in the tooth department. Just thinkin….
Damn, I haven’t seen black women this angry about anything in years, lol. How pathetic. Bill hit it right on the head; the government wants their money, simple as that. That whole thing about some damn 12 million in back taxes is probably a cover for something else, who knows? Probably just their way of telling him to straigten up and fly right. Stop affiliating with those black militant groups.
Musta been the whole “dark chocolate” thing…Cuz he’s blacker than black & still got off scot-free. I kno Isley prolly wishin he traded in that s-wave thing he got goin on long time ago…
“Free Mr Biggs Free mr biggs”!!!
wow, i can’t believe this.
everybody else get a payment plan to pay off the irs or student loans, so because he is a star he should not get that chance.
Thank you #36 and #52 for putting things in perspective…..
That makes sense…..and I believe in Isleys’ case, he was blatantly flouting tax payments for YEARS…and didn’t have a tax preparer with other clients he defrauded for a reason….
what a prick!! Throw him in jail like eveyone else who doesn’t pay the IRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
