The Untold Truth Of Wesley Snipes

The real-life story of Wesley Snipes, whose movie career ranges from raucous comedy to superhero action to serious drama, is a complicated one, with plenty of comedy, action and drama of its own, along with some tragedy, too.

In 2010, Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion. According to the Pappas Group, self-proclaimed tax adviser Eddie Ray Kahn told Snipes and around 4,000 other unlucky advisees to set up nonprofit religious corporations, name themselves as overseers, channel all their earnings into those nonprofits, and live tax-free because of tax exemptions for religious organizations. Kahn also printed so-called "bills of exchange" for his clients, which were documents that looked like checks but weren't actually checks. Kahn would send the bills of exchange to the IRS in lieu of payment, thinking that would appease them. It didn't.

Snipes set up his fake religious nonprofit and then sent the IRS an amended return in which he claimed a $7.4 million refund on his 1997 taxes. The IRS didn't agree with that assessment, clearly. It's possible Snipes simply got really bad advice, but the fact remains that he took it.
