Default Wesley snipes is in jail

For not paying tax on $37mill

but he's cool with it apparently, he's only got 3 years in a minimum security prison, well worth it if he don't have to pay the tax

I would rather Pay the tax. No amount of money is worth wasting 3 years of your life in prison.

He's blaming his accountant for fucking him, but he's taken the prison like a man, much better than them bimbettes who spend 35 minutes inside and then get released as they've apparently served enough of their 7 week sentance

I'm sure there must be some sort of repayment as part of his punishment.

Minimum Security is a bit ballsy considering this is the guy that broke free and evaded Tommy Lee Jones and his team for so long....

He won't do 3 years anyway and walks away with the millions....and seeing as he's a martial arts expert and will be treated differently anyway I doubt he's in much danger

he wont do 3 years in the clink.

Also, he is in a low security prison so more than likely will have day release, etc. so not like a "normal" prison

They didn't give him a date at whcih he was supposed to present himself to the court to be remanded in custerdy so he was free up until that point

it's like that woman who ran over a pcso while escaping in her car from a shop lifting trip who's been allowed to go on a 7 week holiday to eygpt because she lives in kengsington.

Apparently the court decided he shouldn't be allowed to stay free whilst sorting his appeal out, took them long enough to decide

Was watching Passenger 57 on Sky there... made me laugh!!

(1992) Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57: "Always bet on black..."

(2010) BBC News: "Wesley Snipes has arrived at a federal prison in the US state of Pennsylvania to start a three-year sentence for tax evasion."


Cheers,
Grant
