Wesley Snipes Sentence – 3 Years in Jail

Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes has been sentenced to 3 years in jail for tax evasion. Back in 2008, Snipes was found guilty of failing to pay the government nearly $12,000,000. Wesley Snipes appealed to the court. But today, the judge rule din favor of the 3 year sentence.

In a lengthy memo to the court calling for the maximum 36-month sentence, prosecutors said Snipes engaged in a decade-long ‘campaign of criminal tax conduct combining brazen defiance with insidious concealment’ that amounted to a $15 million evasion and $41 million in ‘intended harm’ to the US Treasury.
