Snipes is Out of Jail in time for Tax Day

Wesley Snipes hasn’t paid his fair share in a long time and went to jail for it. Now he’s finally free. Just in time, according to Arsenio Hall, for tax day!

From CNN here:

Actor Wesley Snipes has been released from a federal prison where he was serving a three-year sentence after being convicted on tax charges in February 2010.
The release to a supervised residential location in New York occurred Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons told CNN.
Snipes, 50, who starred in the “Blade” action movies and “White Men Can’t Jump,” had been serving time at a federal prison in Pennsylvania. A jury convicted him of willfully failing to file tax returns for 1999, 2000 and 2001. Snipes was acquitted of felony tax fraud and conspiracy charges.
In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of his sentence, which he had argued was too harsh for a misdemeanor conviction.

Maybe Snipes can go to TurboTax and start paying his taxes on his residuals from his long string of awful movies. You can read his whole saga at this link here. So what do you think his next movie will be? A jail break movie? Movie about an IRS insider? Maybe a movie called “Black Men Can’t File 1040EZ?”
