Vampires control the IRS.

He really is a f***ing weasel.

Have you seen that Chuck Norris/Christie Brinkley exercise machine infomercial?
And his endorsement is: "They sent me one and I didn't care, so I gave it to my assistant. But his eyes lit up and he got so excited to have it, I stopped and thought, "Wait, it must be a gOOd machine if he's that happy to get it."

So he says, "I'm sorry man, I gotta be an Indian Giver and I took it back. LOL"

What an ass****.

Ha ha ha. I've seen that like 50 times. What a horrible story. Especially when he said "LOL".

TAMPA, Florida (Reuters) - Actor Wesley Snipes, who starred in the "Blade" movie series, was charged with tax fraud on Tuesday in an indictment that alleges he illegally claimed refunds of almost $12 million.

A warrant has been issued for Snipes' arrest, but the actors whereabouts were unknown, Paul Perez, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida, told a news conference in Tampa.

Perez said a federal grand jury indicted Snipes, who once lived in Windermere, Florida, along with co-defendants Eddie Ray Kahn of Sorrento, Florida, and Douglas Rosile, of Venice, Florida.

Rosile has surrendered to authorities and Kahn is believed to be in Panama, Perez said.

Snipes' spokesman was not immediately available to comment.

In addition to the three-film "Blade" series, Snipes, 44, has appeared in more than three dozen movies including "White Men Can't Jump," "Rising Sun" and "U.S. Marshals."

The indictment alleges that Snipes did not file federal income tax returns from 1999 through 2004 and conspired with Kahn and Rosile to file two amended returns for Snipes for 1996 and 1997 fraudulently claiming tax refunds of almost $12 million.

Perez said Kahn is the founder of American Rights Litigators and its successor, Guiding Light of God Ministries, both based in central Florida. Rosile is an accountant who prepared tax returns for ARL members.

The indictment alleges Kahn and Rosile promoted a scheme that claimed U.S. citizens and residents did not have to pay taxes on income earned in the United States.

The conspiracy and false claim charges each carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $200,000 fine.

Snipes also faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine on each charge of failing to file income tax returns.

"Those who promote or use fraudulent tax schemes are a threat to the financial integrity of our nation," IRS special agent-in-charge Michael Yasofsky said at the news conference.

He won't do a single day in jail, but he definitely needs to turn himself in and it seems like his career is pretty much over.

bmelton · Oct 17, 2006

Sad thing is he probably never even does his income taxes, and that they ought to be issuing warrants for his accountant, or whomever does it for him. Everybody knows that celebrities don't do anything in their personal lives... they just live, happily, and pay other people to do the rest.
