Actor Wesley Snipes released from prison




Actor Wesley Snipes has been released from a federal prison where he was serving a three-year sentence after being convicted on tax charges in February 2010.

The release to a supervised residential location in New York occurred Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons told CNN.

Snipes, 50, who starred in the "Blade" action movies and "White Men Can't Jump," had been serving time at a federal prison in Pennsylvania. A jury convicted him of willfully failing to file tax returns for 1999, 2000 and 2001. Snipes was acquitted of felony tax fraud and conspiracy charges.

In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of his sentence, which he had argued was too harsh for a misdemeanor conviction.

They legally evade tax through tax loopholes & Tax deductions such as executive stock options.

A loophole indicates that something is wrong - the rich shouldnt be allowed to profit from gaps in the law - especially when they can afford to pay tax.

sureteeboy: If it's in nigeria, you would have heard that he escaped the day he was put in the prison

escaped? You are even going tOo far. Did you ever hear anyone got arrested talkless of convicted in nigeria for tax evasion?

If it is legal then it cannot be a crime. Obama has been struggling to close such loopholes and end the Bush Tax cuts but the GOP won't let him. So there you go

Can you imagine sending a grade 'A' celebrity to prison just for tax evasion I love this guy.

Okay, we go send 'Tuface' to prison for underpaying tax.

People go just stone the judge for naija. Him no dey fear face

We here in Nigeria pay tax under stringent conditions such that ur employer deducts that from your salary or your tax clearance certificates are needed for urgent reasons.

Why didn't he escape in the prison has he always did in his movie?
