I am glad that the svengali's who influenced him to pull such a foolish stunt got longer sentences than he did. Even so, he was smart enough to know better. Isn't he? In view of his apparent defiance at sentencing, it seems not.

Wesley 'don't jump' bail.

Money changes people. History is rife with rich and powerful people who destroyed themselves with easily avoidable mistakes simply because they thought the rules didn't apply to them anymore. Go ask Richard Hatch or Leona Helmsley.

Does anyone know - 'cause I haven't been able to find anyhing online - why Snipes has refused to pay his taxes? Is it some sort of protest? Has anyone asked him publicly?

Does he have a history of taking a political stance? Alternatively, has he got a history of whimsically or arbitrarily subverting the law?

TIA

He thought an ancient law made it that the government could not legally demand tax from the US citizens is the story I heard

and of course ali is correct prisoner 57 would be better!
