NEWS | Snipes Plays Fugitive Again

In the strange continuing saga of Wesley Snipes and his tax fraud indictment, there have been conflicting reports over the past week regarding whether or not Snipes may have cut a deal with authorities that would allow him to avoid serving jail time.

Initially it was reported that he had agreed to a payment plan with the IRS, but then a few days later federal prosecutors announced that there was, in fact, no deal in place. “He’s considered a fugitive who seems to want to cooperate,” said a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Paul Perez.

Snipes is currently in Namibia where he is shooting his latest film Gallowwalker. Apparently they are making preparations for him to return to the U.S. to face charges, but they sure seem to be taking their time about it.

I’ve got nothing against Snipes, but why is it only the disgustingly rich people of this world try to avoid paying tax? Maybe that’s how they stay rich…
