I'm amazed he got away with it that long

Seems Wesley Snipes didn't file tax returns from 1999 through 2004.
Given that he made a few million bucks during that time, the IRS is pissed.
Luckily for Wesley, the jury didn't buy the fraud charges, but did nail him for failure to file.
He still owes some serious money, but probably little jail time.

Rico says you don't fuck with the IRS. There's a very long but true story, the punchline of which is "they just want the money". Very true...
