Wesley Snipes surrendered to authorities to face federal tax fraud charges and was released on $1 million bond Friday, two months after he was indicted in central Florida.
The actor, known for films such as the “Blade” trilogy, didn’t speak at a court appearance in Ocala. He went there after arriving in Orlando on a private jet Friday from the African nation of Namibia, where he has been filming “Gallow Walker,” his publicist said.
Snipes, 44, was charged in October with fraudulently claiming refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid. He was also charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004.
He will be allowed to return to Namibia to finish his film, but must return to his home in Marina del Rey, Calif., on or before January 10, U.S. Magistrate Gary Jones ruled (READ MORE)..
you gotta REALLY be f’in up for the IRS to arrest you. i made a mistake on my taxes that took me 2 years to straighten out, and they were surprisingly patient… Wes has nobody to blame but himself.
LMAO @ this post.
Well Mr. Snipes, I guess that’s the end of the road for you.
ur ugly
That’s what he deserves!! Can’t stand his ugly ass!!
he’s always talking shit ’bout black ppl!!!
WooHoo Ocala Represent!!
You all need to give Wesley Snipes a break!! The only reason you keep sayin’ he’s ugly, black ass, is because he has dark skin. He never said he did not like Black Women. I bet he probably got tired of dealing with you many color-conscious sistas who think any man with dark skin is inferior or “too black” to date unless he has money for your contradictory ass. If he was light -skinned you won’t be saying he’s ugly. You would be crying because he’s going to jail !!! You need to keep it real & not worry about black men who date outside their race because you hypocrites discriminate against our own kind. Mind your own business & get a life.
