You Can Run.......But You Can't Hide....From ..."The Man"

"The Man"....in this case ...is Uncle Sam....The United States government...The IRS....

Just ask Al Capone.....

You don't pay your  taxes?   You go to jail.

Mr. Snipes should know better.   And now he'll have 3 years to ponder his actions.

actor Wesley Snipes
This is what happens when you don’t pay your taxes. You go directly to jail. This is exactly where actor Wesley Snipes is finally heading.

According to Us Magazine, the actor was ordered by a federal judge on Friday to immediately surrender to authorities and begin serving his three-year sentence for tax-related crimes.

Lawyers for the 48-year-old actor asked Judge William Terrell for a new trial, which was rejected by the Ocala, Fl. Judge. The judge wrote his decision saying that it’s time for the actor’s sentence to be enforced.

The actor was convicted back in 2008 on three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax returns.

The actor’s lawyer, Daniel Meachum, stated that Snipes wasn’t ready or prepared for a quick action from the judge. According to Meachum, Snipes is in Atlanta filming his new movie, “Master Daddy.”

Meachum said in a statement:
“Wesley is very disappointed but staying strong and positive.”

Yes Wesley......it's kind of a pain.....but all of us.....residing in the US....must file a tax return.....every year.   You included.
