"significant personal liability" for those involved.

Never happen! The IRS, the FEd. govt. and our state govts. are omnipotent! They have the time, they have the manpower, they have our unlimited cashflow to rely on and they will get you sooner or later...........

Never play poker with the government, with our money backing their hands, you will never win.......

Go Snipester, I hope you win........

I actually think Snipes is headed for the Big House. By the time these types of cases go to court, the defendant has passed on many chances to make his tax troubles go away without jail time. Since Snipes hasn’t even filed taxes in years, he’s baited the IRS into going for broke with him. Snipes’s allegations of racism will go nowhere with a jury, even an all-black jury. Snipes must really be nuts not to have filed taxes and he’s really nuts to think he has a reasonable chance of prevailing at trial.

>>“Warning - pursuit of such a high profile target will open the door for your increased collateral risk,” Snipes wrote. “I certainly don’t believe this is in your best interest and can be avoided.”<<

What a moron.... plus he renounces his U.S. Citizenship.

Now *there's* a job!

Depends on whether it's a Return Program that's frivolous, or a Program that deals with Frivolous Returns.

LOL

You could be right, but I think the “elite” factor will weigh in.
Snipes lawyers will convince the Judge and/ or Jury that he was temporarily insane or some such crap.
He’ll pay the IRS what he owes and get community service making commercials about why not to cheat the IRS.

... or a schiz.

It sounds like a program that should be a sub-division of the Bureau of Silly Walks.

His brother was a member of this weird black racist cult called the Nuwaubians. They were bases in Middle Georgia a few years back. The cult leader was imprisoned for child prostitution and other such offenses. Wesley came to visit several times and may have been a member.

About the best thing he could do, would be turn all his assets into cash and give the cash away before he dies and leave no record of who it went to. No estate left, nothing for the IRS to collect from.

[dr.zaeus]

Yeah, the Nuwaubians were weird. They abandoned the compound a while back. The last time we visited Eatonton (after the exodus), their “temples” were in ruins. By temples, of course, I mean pyramids and obelisks that were nothing but brightly painted, poorly constructed, eyesores that had been thrown together from a pile of stucco and aluminum.
What a shame.

He must think he is in one of his Vampire movies

[MattinNJ]

Thanks for the info-it rings a bell.

[wastedyears]

With the IRS, 600 pages is nothing.

[wastedyears]

I don’t think people know what he has in his basement or buried somewhere.

[rolling_stone]

Looks like he is setting up an insanity defense!
