Wesley Snipes gets Billed for Court Costs

Wesley Snipes has been in the news for tax evasion more than his films lately, and currently is awaiting appeal to the last decision. But the courts have decided that the money they spent to bring him to justice should be added to Snipes’ tab.

Yahoo reports:

According to court documents, U.S. District Court Judge William Terrell Hodges ruled last week the action film star must reimburse the government about $217,000. Snipes, star of the “Blade” trilogy and “White Men Can’t Jump” among other movies, had objected to the cost.

For the love of God man. That’s chump change compared to the amount of money he makes. Be a REAL celebrity and just throw money at the problem.

Don’t object. Just pay them a pile of money and they will leave you alone!!

Snipes faces a Three Year prison Sentence for willfully failing to file his taxes. Its a little more complicated than “I just forgot”. While waiting for his appeal Snipes is allowed to finish filming, but anticipating the posibility of a three year Club Fed sentence (which is about 90days for celbrities) I doubt that studios will be quick to sign him on to a project.

Doug has followed this man’s plight with the devotion that borders on religious, so he might have different feelings on this.
