Wesley Snipes Pays $5 Mil For ‘Costly Mistakes’
Just hours before he was sentenced for failing to pay $5 million dollars in taxes, Wesley Snipes cut several checks for the unpaid revenue and had the checks delivered to court.
The move so surprised federal prosecutors that they at first declined the money. Snipes was still given the maximum 3 years in a federal prison for refusing to pay his taxes over a 10-year period.
“The sentencing court sends the right message to the American taxpayer — you’ve got to pay your taxes,” U.S. Attorney Robert O’Neill told reporters outside the usually quiet central Florida courthouse. “Rich, poor, it doesn’t matter. We all pay our taxes.”
Snipes, who had previously maintained he had the legal right not to pay taxes, read aloud from a prepared apology, calling his actions “costly mistakes” but never mentioning the word “taxes.” (Source)

Costly mistake? No, nigga, stupid arrogance… His ass thought he was above payin his taxes & uncle sam showed u who runnin s**t!!!! Dont drop the soap, Blade!!!
Costly mistakes, which means “I just didn’t pay my taxes even though I should” he gets a big negro please from me.Don’t get too happy Wes, they still accept money because that’s what the want.
SO HE HAD THE MONEY BUT JUST REFUSED TO PAY IT-LOL
SO TYPICAL OF A …….
I’M A GO EASY ON HIM TODAY CAUSE JUSTICE WASN’T SERVED FOR SEAN BELL & IT WOULDN’T BE RIGHT TO BASH THE BROTHAS TODAY
i know what he means, but since the gov’t can do what they want, why try to fight it? he’s prolly part of some organization that doesn’t believe in federal taxes, since there really is no LAW that says you have to. the IRS has us all believing we better, or else. case in point.
I agree with PYT_504,
To hell with Nestlie Snipes, that’s what he gets with his stank as* attitude, I’m glad he’s going to jail!
I gotta agree with Ms. Pyt_504 on Wes!
That’s what he gets for whooping Halle’s ass and having an Asian wife.
I THOUGHT IT WAS REPORTED THAT THEY (DIDNT) ACCEPT THE 5 MILLION….
If they accepted the money they should have let him off. Talking about double punishment. But I can’t stand his ass so good for him. I stopped liking his during his blade years. He just changed one day. At least that is my story and I am sticking to it.
Po thang lol
Dont you just love Uncle sam and CO
they took the money and they are still sendind his ass to prison
Classic just Classic
how can you make all that money and be so DUMB,DUMB,DUMB!!! and he has to spend 3 years in jail and still pay the money DUMB,DUMB,DUMB,
Irony at its finest:
“Smokie Says: That’s what he gets for whooping Halle’s ass and having an Asian wife.
”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Didn’t Halle’s dad marry outside of his race too?
It’s against the law to beat a woman and if he beat Halle, shame on him. But, the last time I checked, you were free to marry into whichever race/ethnicity/nationality you choose.
How archaic is it to be mad at him for marrying someone out of his race? Don’t anser that, it’s rhetorical.
*answer
PER A.P. -
So taken aback were prosecutors that they first declined the cash. But by the end of the day, the government took the money and more — a maximum three-year sentence for its highest-profile criminal tax target in decades.
