Tough sentence for Mr. Snipes.
Ha
If sending him to prison for 3 years means I don't have to listen to 5 minutes of Tom Cruise, seems like good value to me.
"I am an idealistic, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritually motivated artist, unschooled in the science of law and finance," Snipes said.
Snipes maintained in a years-long battle with the IRS he did not have to pay taxes, using fringe arguments common to "tax protesters" who say the government has no legal right to collect. After joining Kahn's group, the government said Snipes instructed his employees to stop paying their own taxes and sought $11 million in 1996 and 1997 taxes he legally paid.
Looks like he wants to play both sides:
I don't understand this complex tax stuff- I'm an artist. But then he can research 'fringe arguments' and try to make a complex legal case out of it.
Geez, even after taxes this guy probably has more than he knows what to do with - idiot.

Don't forget, there's always the appeal.
When all is said and done, chances are he won't do more than 6 to 12 months, some of that in a half-way house.
The sooner they let him out, the sooner he can start paying taxes again on all the millions he'll be making. Oh, and he will pay taxes this time.
You think they got his attention?
This sentence does more than get his attention. It gets the attention of all the wacky tax protesters too.
