IRS Snipe(s) Hunting


This story has been around for a while. Wesley Snipes has been indicted on income tax charges. The figure is around $12 million. If found guilty on all counts, he could serve 16 years. Doing some math, he's 44 now, 60 when he gets out....52 with good behavior. He's in Namibia, now, shooting a movie. The most interesting thing about this story is the fact that he was indicted while he was abroad, in a country with no extradition treaty with the USA. Brilliant! Although I strongly feel that everyone should pay their fair share of taxes - especially the rich, I'd like to see Snipes beat this.......if for no other reason than the fact that the Feds handed down the indictment while he was in Namibia. I don't care for bureaucrats much less stupid bureaucrats.
By the way, his accountants have already been arrested!
