Snipes Pays the Ultimate Price
According to a saying there’s only two sure things in this world: death and taxes. No one can really avoid both, because once you do: it’s going to get you eventually in the end. This is what happened to Wesley Snipes.
The tax-dodging actor was recommended by the D.A. to serve a maximum penalty of three years in federal prison and pay a $5 Million fine. It was reported last Monday that the Florida U.S. Attorney, Robert O’Neill , said the actor deserved the harsh sentence for his years of brazen defiance and insidious concealment.
“This case cries out for the statutory maximum term of imprisonment, as well as a substantial fine, because of the seriousness of defendant Snipes’ crimes and because of the singular opportunity this case presents to deter tax crime nationwide,” O’Neill wrote.
Snipes will be sentenced on April 24.
