Wesley Snipes – From Rich and Famous to Tax Evasion

One must be wary when a rise to fame and money looks as quick and sharp as Wesley Snipes in Hollywood. His movie Bad got him excellent reviews and an exceptional amount of wealth. And what does one do with the money earned besides spending? Pay taxes, of course.

Instead, Wesley decided to snipe a few bucks under the radar by evading taxes, which is always an ill-advised idea no matter who you are. When the word got around, and his reputation took a significant hit, Snipes made amendments and paid a few penalties. Yet, it was too little, too late to avoid getting blacklisted from the film industry.
