Hollywood star Wesley Snipes has been released from prison after serving time for not paying his taxes. The fifty-year-old actor was jailed in Pennsylvania in 2010 for failing to file income tax returns. He'll now remain under house arrest for the next four months in order to complete the three year sentence he was handed.
Snipes has starred in dozens of films, but is most famous for the Blade trilogy, about a vampire hunter.
Prosecutors say the actor failed to file returns for at least a decade and owed millions of dollars in taxes. It's not known where exactly he'll stay while under house arrest. At the time of his conviction he lived in a suburb of Orlando, Florida.
However, documents show he'll be under the supervision of the New York Community Corrections Office, which oversees people in the Bronx and Brooklyn areas of New York City, as well as New Jersey.
At the time of his conviction in April of 2008, prosecutors said Snipes had earned nearly forty million dollars in gross income.
Rico says that not paying your taxes is stupid, especially when you're rich enough to afford a whole slew of accountants to handle it...
