Wesley Snipes was convicted of tax evasion in 2008, and sentenced to three years after losing his appeal in 2010. Snipes claimed he was misled by his financial adviser. But according to a piece in Forbes, he may have been part of a radical anti-tax group who, instead of money,
would basically send a letter to the IRS every year saying that the IRS didn't actually have the power to collect taxes.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons reportedly confirmed that Snipes was released on April 2 and transferred to the New York Community Corrections Office where he will be placed under home confinement until July 19.
The 50-year-old Snipes was serving a three-year-sentence in Pennsylvania for failing to file his federal income tax returns. He began his sentence on Dec. 9, 2010, meaning he served almost his whole term. As a sartorial innovator, Wesley Snipes was basically Terrence Howard before Terrence Howard was Terrence Howard.
