Prisoner 57

Wesley Snipes may advise you to “Always bet on bl-ax evasion,” but the Hollywood Wildcat has recently been indicted on eight counts of fraud by the IRS.

Federal prosecutors said that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid. The indictment also charged him with failure to file returns between 1999 and 2004.

Snipes faces a maximum of 16 years in prison. [He] has not been arrested because authorities don’t know where he is, the IRS said.

It looks like Blade has been riding the Money Train into the Rising Sun, while the U.S. Marshals reach their Boiling Point chasing his Disappearing Acts all over the map, from Down in the Delta to New Jack City.

Asked to comment on his whearabouts, one investigator stated, “This [lack of] address changes all the rules.” Then, for no apparent reason added, “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.”
