He's A Wanted Man!

He better enjoy his last moments of freedom!

The U.S. Attorney's office has filed a motion demanding that Wesley Snipes surrender himself to police custody.

They disagree with a Florida judge's decision to let the actor out on bail while he appeals his tax charges.

Snipes was found guilty and sentenced to three years in jail for not paying his taxes for several years.

He still owes millions of dollars!

The judge felt Wesley was not a flight risk, but that doesn't seem to be good enough for the feds.

"We want him in custody," said Steve Cole, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office. "He's been convicted by a jury. He has been sentenced to three years and he should be in custody."

Now's the time to hop on a flight to somewhere tropical and far far away, Wesley!

Wesley Snipes Sentenced To 3 Years

Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years for his three misdemeanor counts that resulted from not filing tax returns. Back in February, Snipes was acquitted of tax fraud and conspiracy, but was convicted for his misdemeanor charges. His argument that his accountants had improperly advised him was enough for jurors to believe he was not guilty of the more serious felony charges.

However, the Blade actor received the maximum punishment for those crimes for which he was found guilty, according to prosecutors because Snipes "has been portrayed in the mainstream media as a 'victory' for Snipes. The troubling implication of such coverage for the millions of average citizens who are aware of this case is that the rich and famous Wesley Snipes has 'gotten away with it.' In the end the criminal conduct of Snipes must not be seen in such a light."

Maybe he should pretend to have ADD, refuse to eat and just generally mope around, so that he can cut down his sentence. That seems to work for some people

With the decision handed down on Thursday (April 24), U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges announced in an Ocala, Fla., courtroom that Wesley Snipes will be serving three years in jail on charges of tax evasion.

After the sentence was read and with his wife looking on, Snipes said to the judge: “I’m very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community. I’ve asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right.”

Wesley Snipes sentenced to 3 years

A US federal judge on Thursday sentenced Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes to three years in prison…one for every Blade movie he made.

Seriously though, that was his sentence for failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2004.

According to US Attorney Scotland Morris, Snipes currently owes more than $20 million in back taxes and penalties.

The actor made a five million dollar payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Thursday, but Morris dismissed it as “a fraction of what he owes.”

Wesley Snipes Gets Three Years In Jail

Yesterday a judge decided to make an example out of Wesley Snipes and sentenced him to the maximum of three years in prison for tax evasion. Ouch! Wesley was convicted in February on three misdemeanor charges for not filing tax returns. The IRS claims he owes over $2 milllon dollars.

Nathan J. Hochman, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Tax Division, said, “Snipes’ long prison sentence should send a loud and crystal clear message to all tax defiers that if they engage in similar tax defier conduct, they face joining him and his co-defendants … as inmates in prison.”

Prison rapists love velvet

Remember back in 2006 when Wesley Snipes was arrested for not filing tax returns (from 1999 to 2004)? Turns out the government doesn’t like that. Late today, a federal judge sentenced Wesley to three years in prison for tax evasion — the maximum possible sentence. Nathan Hochman, an official at the US Department of Justice Tax Division, told the media:

“Snipes’ long prison sentence should send a loud and crystal clear message to all tax defiers that if they engage in similar tax defier conduct, they face joining him and his co-defendants … as inmates in prison.”

IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman added:

“The law is very clear: people must pay their taxes. There is no secret formula that eliminates a person’s tax obligations, nor are there any special exceptions.”

Who’s gonna get all the sweet roles in Hollywood now that Wesley’s going away for three years? Oh, right, still not him.

NOTE: Tack on a fourth year and we’d be just about even for The Fan. Seriously, that movie fucking sucked.

Wesley Snipes Is Going To Jail!

Wesley Snipes is gonna's spend three hard years behind bars for tax fraud after being sentenced today by a Florida judge. Snipes tried to get out of doing time by calling in favors from friends in high places -- Denzel Washington, Woody Harrelson, and TV's Judge Joe Brown filed testimonials about Wesley's character but even that was enough to keep him from going to jail. In February, Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file a tax return. Maybe he has the same accountant as Britney! Lucky for Snipes, however, he was acquitted today of felony tax fraud and conspiracy charges, otherwise he coulda been behind bars for 16 years!!! Chin up, Wes; and good luck!
