Wesley Snipes 3 years prison
 

Hes fucked.

good i hated the movie Passenger 57 ....he deserves 5 years just for making that movie lol

Why? What he do?

is this about tax evasion?

"One Night Stand" sentenced him...

he wont get any prison time.

how about a link?

It's actually not that bad. I mean he'll maybe spend a year tops in prison, and it'll be a white collar one. He got out of paying tens of millions of dollars in taxes. Would you spend a year in prison at a country club for that kind of money?

Good he sucks

nix that, he tried to give the judge 5 million in checks and the judge declined..

yeah he wont go to big boys jail...just small timers jail

sucks to be him

wow this is crazy

Looks like his next movie will be called 'Shiv', thereby breaking the mold..

The maximum jail time that can be imposed is 3 years:

However, even if he gets the max sentence, I believe he already has some time served, and would likely only have to spend maybe about a year and a half or so in the pokey...

ADG

He has allready been sentenced the maximum.

Should have offered him ten. :)

That bastard! He cheated the Gov. out of about 10 Abrams tanks!!

And will be released early for good behavior or some other reason. Released after 12 months, couple years probation... Max.

He'll appeal and get it reduced. 3 years for a MISDEMENOR? Hell I've seen people running meth labs near schools get less time. I've seen people on their 5th DUI get less time. Most of the guys caught on To Catch A Predator for trying to fuck 12 year old girls get less time. God forbid you try to take a dime away from the federal government. I wonder if he'll go to the same place a the gay guy from Survivor who also failed to pay taxes got sent.

As far as I know in federal cases you can only chop off about 10% of your sentence MAX. At best he can get about 4 months off.

Well worth the money he made

Bye bye, Wesley.

The trial just concluded was a criminal trial, he still faces a civil lawsuit...

ADG

It's actually a felony...

actually you should learn to READ

"OCALA, Florida (CNN) -- Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison for three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns -- the maximum requested by federal prosecutors."

Damn,I can't believe he was that stupid..will probably blame his accountants

he dodged $41 million in taxes and only got fined $5 million and 3 years in jail ( 1 yr prob with good behaviour )

so 36 million for a year in white collar jail

sign me up.

He will still have to pay the taxes.

See post above.

He allready did. He was originally charged with multiple felony tax evasion charges but the judge agreed that his accountants were to blame. He actually got off light in that sense.

There is not much if any time off for good behavior in Federal prison.

What exactly did his accountants do that could have been twisted as being their fault?

I haven't been following the case at all... but I did see something a while back that made it seem like he was trying to say he wasn't paying taxes because it's unconstitutional?

I know people are living in the past if they think you can just be good and they let you go. 3 years means 3 years. 10% for not getting in trouble so 36 months is 32 or something like that.

The dudes fucked for awhile I guess because of his accountants? 50 million and he's worried about 5?

heh i thought he was going to get out of this one..

I wonder where all of those people who say income taxes are illegal and you don't have to pay them are hiding right now?

haha... that is funny!

no way! you got a link?

wow i cant believe that

i liked his movies :\
