None of this worked - Wesley is going to do hard time. This case marks a big victory for prosecutors who made the Spines case an example and a threat to all rich people who fail to correctly file their tax return.

On April 24, 2008, Federal City Court of Ocala, Florida, issued verdict of “guilty” against Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes. Court stated that Snipes evaded tax payment for three years (1999-2001) and as a result, owes more than $15 million to State Treasury. Wesley Snipes pleaded guilty and tried to avoid real term. Before the sentence was pronounced, he offered to issue three cheques of $5 million to State Treasury in exchange for lenience. Federal public prosecutors accepted the cheques and handed them to Finance Ministry. However, this did not help in exempting Wesley from the punishment. He received a three year prison term, which is maximum punishment for tax evasion in the USA.
