Wesley Snipes Turns Self In Over Tax Issues, Probably Did So In Nice Sun Glasses

Digg this!   

Wesley Snipes, Tax Evasion, IRS, Surrender, WarrantThere are two things hecklerspray does better than any other website, and one of them is pay taxes.

That's right, we are so good at paying taxes we even pay them when we
don't have to. Our grandpa gives us $50 – we pay $45 in taxes. We find
$20 in a bush outside our work – we pay $25 in taxes. We see a 4 year
old orphan happily skipping with a fiver in hand – we take it and give
it to the government.

Not everyone enjoys tax-paying as much as us though. Wesley Snipes
for instance…well that guy pretty much hates it. He owed a whole
bunch of money, the IRS put out a hit on him (or something like that),
and it all resulted in Snipes turning himself in on a tarmac.

Wesley Snipes was a wanted man. The IRS found out he owed them a ton of
money(Allegedly), and not only that, but he tried tricking said IRS
into giving him like 11 million dollars in tax refunds (also
allegedly). As you may guess, the feds didn't take kindly to that, and
they offered $100 to the first person that could bring in Snipes'
entrails.

That's not true at all, and on behalf of the US government we'd like
you all to know that Wesley Snipes is more than welcome to keep his
entrails inside him forever. The 'man' did, however, issue a warrant
for Snipes' arrest. The warrant was issued in October, but Snipes was
apparently out of the country. The actor did agreed to turn himself in.
An IRS account of the surrender was given:

"[Snipes] had a private jet and landed in Orlando, where
IRS agents arrested him and transported him to Ocala. It was a
prearranged arrest. We were there waiting on the tarmac."

While Snipes says of his current predicament:

"I look forward to clearing my name and resolving this issue — posthaste."

It appears that Snipes somehow got involved with a couple of men that
are severely anti-tax. One of the men went as far as forming an
anti-tax organization called 'American Rights Litigators,' which we're
told has pink-frosted cupcakes at almost all their meetings.

What a delicious way to spread anarchy. Allegedly.
