   AP- Actor Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud for allegedly failing to pay nearly $12-million (U.S.) in taxes and failing to file returns for six years. Federal prosecutors in Tampa said Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds in 1996 and 1997 on taxes already paid, and then failed to file returns from 1999 and 2004. If convicted, he could be sentenced to 16 years in prison.

 

 He's going to the big house.

No he's not, he's a movie star. He isn't going anywhere. Name the last real movie star of remotely similar stature who actually went to jail.....take your time........

Give up? The answer is  "no one."  Not since Fatty Arbuckle.

I guarantee Wesley Snipes will never spend a single minute in prison. That's only for the little people, the commoners like you and me. But not a movie star.

Wow, Im surprised. Not. Theres been a big thing of 'showing face' or showing the little guy that the rich do take the same lumps as the little guy.

  For example Martha Stewart. This type of thing came about after the Enron thing, IMO.

  I think he wont get the full time, but he will go. He will also get a small fine of at least half that.
