Wesley Snipes, star of the "Blade"movie series, & films, "Jungle Fever" & "New Jack City", who was recently arrested for tax evasion in Florida is saying that he will work to clear his name. Uh-huh, whatever! Tell it to the judge. There are 3 big letters that always know if you did or didn't to the paperwork & they are the I R S. Wesley is reportedly over $1 million behind in back taxes. You know he's been hanging onto the money since he hasn't had a hit movie since the 90's. He might as well just get ready to share a spot next to Mr. Big aka Ronald Isley.
Ole boy thought he might not have to fess up because he stayed in the mother land long enough filming the upcoming movie "Gallowalker" & teaching locals in Namibia how to film make. But he hired a legal team (sure sign you know you got a problem when more than one attorney is required) to negotiate with US Prosecutors on when to return & tentative court hearings.
Snipes was required to post $1 million bond. Now this is the only part I don't agree with. If you got the money to post why not just collect it for the taxes & be done with him. But whatever, y'all know Uncle Sam! Snipes has upcoming court dates on January 10, 2007 & March 5, 2007. Wesley will also not be working out of the country come February 22, 2007 when he is to surrender his passport to officials in Ocala, Florida.
One of Wesley's attorney's , Billy Martin is saying that his client "is the victim of unscrupulous tax advisors & we look forward to his vindication when the facts come out."
