Convicted tax cheat Wesley Snipes will appear on CNN’s “Larry King Live” before surrendering to prison authorities on Thursday.
In 2008 Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failure to file tax returns. He was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
Since then, Snipes has lost a series of appeals and requests for new trials. Earlier this week, a judge denied Snipes’ request to delay the start of his prison sentence until after the holidays.
His motion said Snipes has four young children ranging in age from 4 to 9, and the “surrender date is in the middle of the holiday season.”
But the judge ruled: “The natural and inevitable consequence of any substantial sentence or imprisonment is to separate Defendant from his family during holidays and at all other times of significance to a particular family unit -birthdays, weddings, and the like.”
Prior to his conviction, Snipes had been a member of an obscure cult whose leader didn’t believe in paying taxes.
Snipes also claimed that as a “fiduciary of God, who is a ‘nontaxpayer,’” he was a “‘foreign diplomat’” who was not obliged to pay taxes.
Snipes failed to file tax returns for the years 1999 to 2004 on earnings of $37 million.
According to CNN’s Marquee blog, the actor will sit down for his only interview Tuesday (today) on CNN’s “Larry King Live.” Snipes is scheduled to report to the Federal Correctional Institution McKean at Lewis Run, Pennsylvania on Thursday, December 9.
That damn refresh button is a MUTHAFLUCKA
cute family, Wes is an idiot.
Where is his Asian wife and all the non blacks he associate himself with to help him out…When will these negroes learn that no matter who you fock, marry or associate or education or financial status you will and always be a nigga. Dumb cunts.
He forgot to file for his 501 c 3 status
Yt people do it all the time. Warren Buffet (the second richest man in the world) is on record for saying that he pays less in taxes than his secretaries.
If this was George Clooney or Brad Pitt he would have received a small fine and no jail time. Wouldn’t even have to pay all of it back.
SMH.
Whats up Man :fistbump:
Damn, Nino Brown going to the klinker
Wesley’s nose is killing me softly.
He wanted to push the date back so he could spend the Holidays w/his family. Dude please, you had 3 yrs to spend time w/your family while out on “appeal”. He could have been out of jail if he would have went after sentenencing.
all i can say is don’t drop the soap
Come on Bruh
37 mil
@CHA
Wut up?
I cheat on my taxes every year(I buy dependents)…so this hits close to home..i may reconsider…this year…or atleast until i realize govt is screwing me anyway why not screw them back…

Exactly this dude has been labeled the Blackest of black men and think cause he hit all those white women costars he was in the loop boy stop
@ Ace
And you said that on a public blog site why?!?!?!? Hahahaha!
I can see Uncle Sam walkling up to your front door now.
Oh yeah… NOTE: Wesley was arrested for “failure to file” taxes, not “failure to pay” … which is much harder to prove.
He would have been better off just filing a return claiming to have not made any money… like everyone else.
hehe…well i really don’t but i know people who do and didn’t want to put them on blast so if uncle sam wants to come he can…I’m clear.
@ Jazzy i was thinking the same thing lol Audits are no fun had one in 07
@ Ace
Yeah, clear that ish up fast homie! Hahahahaha!
@ Al
Hey Al. Never been audited and don’t want to either.
Don’t feel sorry for Snipes yall. Lesson learned here – DONT FUUUCKING PROCRASTINATE!! The judge also added “..if Snipes started the sentence when he was supposed to he be near finished.” Nuff said!
Judge deserves a large bonus for xmas.
@ Jazzy i sent my taxes in through the mail and the dude that audited me was like that was the reason they did the audit because i caused more work for them so he was like e file from now on and you should be good
And Hey ther Sexy @ Jazzy wit yo fine self
@xcal86
JUDGES are AZZ-HOLES Too… And MOST of them are STR8 CORRUPT !!!
And I’m NOT DEFENDING Wesley… I’m just stating A FACT about JUDGES
u dont want to claim a dependant thats not yours this year u will get a letter fast. especially if its a kid that gets shuffeled around for that purpose. if its the same kid you been claiming for years you can get away with it.
@ Al
Awwwhhhh thanks hun! You always make me feel sooooooo good.
I’ll be changing the gravie pic shortly….just for your entertainment.
they were snatching people up quick last year for claiming other peoples kids i know a few people that got there letter
Iris is not playing that

Cute kids…………its sad they have to go through this
@Daisy
Me too…I owe as well so I’ll remain silent on this one. Waiting for my 2010 return to get snatched and hopefully make a dent in what I owed for 08 & 09 and I JUST finished paying off 07.
By the way- you only in trouble if you file NOTHING at all. I didn’t file 2007 until 2009 but I filled out a “tax-extension” form before 4/15/08. So you can prove “intent” to file and it buys you a lot of time. Maybe by 2012, I’ll be caught up though….
And another thing…..how do folks get their checks and such “garnished” by IRS? IRS sends you 2-3 notices asking you to file and work out a payment plan before they take anything? (They had sent me 2 for TY 2007 before I filed inside of “tax amnesty” for that year.)
If you just ignore the letters and try to roll on like everything is fine- you deserve to get snatched up. They’ll work with you (and reduce what you owe in many cases) if you agree to a payment plan.
And 12k, Daisy? How many years did you not file for?
this washed up actor made that much $ in 5 years. damn…
I am going to hell. But I SWEAR that Wesley remind me in that pic with his kids…of Don Cheadle’s character in “Rush Hour 2” …the black dude from Chinatown with the Asian wife and the little Asian-Black kids…
hrm..
i’ve been claim the same 2 kids for like 4 years…i hope i’m good this year…
Cute kids… what nationality is his wife ( woman) ….
I have been seeing him on those late night BoFlex commercials… he knew this was coming he getting ready to protect that azz…. they remember Too Wong Foo!!!
His kids look just like him.
Taxes… our govt boi i tell ya
yall aint ready……………………
He better use those blade moves, cuz they gone try and get that black booty.
Whew his children look like him in a cute kind of way. I will tune in to watch the interview tonight. First Mr. Big; now Nino Brown. SMDH

yes and how unfortunate for them
Larry King gives the worse interviews. I wonder how he decided that he’d pick him. I remember him asking when Seinfield will end when it’d been off the air for years.
I’m just wondering why Wesley gets time, Method Man gets arrested YET Nick Cage hasn’t gotten either and he owes now over 10mil in back taxes. 6 million and no arrest then they added even more versus 33k, how does that make sense? Wesley was accused of failure to file, pay and filing conspiracy. He was aquitted on everything except the filing charge. He owed just over a mil in taxes. I’m just wondering how long Nick will stay out.
Wesley is actually smart it’s just not enough americans that will stand up to this corrupt system, and fight for your soverign … they know you americans are scared from the threat of being put in jail, so they get you every time, if you actually study that law, you will see that all you do is volunteer yourself to the tax, it is optional, but since you don’t know that, as soon as u apply for a job they throw a w-2 at you, and for the love of their money you will do anything, ur consitution said the only legal tender is Gold and when was the last time you got paid in GOLD… do your home work SR family
Homie
YOU already know the DEAL (Real…) And Wesley didn’t even OWE THAT Amount & Nick Cage will probably NEVER see the inside of a Jail for OWING MONEY to The IRS… AND I AGREE —> Larry King is THE WORST !!!
E who is that in your gravi?
Sanaa Lathan LQQKING Extremely HOTT !!!
Hey E love help me with my Gravi plz.
Wesley looks sick.

THIS FOOL MADE THIRTY-SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN THREE AND HALF YEARS, AND HE CONVINCES HIMSELF THAT HE SHOULDN’T HAVE TOPAY THE TAXES. THEN, HIS SUPER BLACK ASS HAS THE NERVE TO ASK THE JUDGE IF HE CAN STAY HOME FOR XMAS! HELL NAH, IF T.I. CAN’T STAY HOME FOR XMAS, YOU CAN’T EITHER. OH YEAH, YOU STILL BLACK!
Huh?
