Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes has received a three-year prison sentence for tax offences. A federal judge handed down the maximum term requested by prosecutors - a year for each of Snipes's convictions of wilfully failing to file a tax return. hes going to appeal.... no kidding LOL

My System: I bet on red. If I lose, I double the bet on red again. I continue with this until I lost everything.  Muhuhuhahahahahaaaaarrrgggh | In the US you can literally get away with murder if you are rich and connected, but if you f*** about with the taxman you are going to jail. It must be said that compared to most of Europe the tax rates in the US are way lower than here, I would be happy to pay US rates...

Mr Snipes should be ashamed with himself as was Ken Dodd for doing the same thing and also ending up doing time

Well I take it back, how right you are Paul, that is strange as I can actually remember the news reports back in 1989 but if you Google it the only thing I can find is that he was acquitted in 2008, yet when I last saw his show not that many years ago he made a couple of references to it!

My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | Oh yes, there were many comments at the time and Doddy himself made comments about it at the time, he used it in his "An Audience With..." appearance, although I can't remember exactly how. What I do remember is the joke that went around afterwards that he now had two more Diddy men - Diddy Pay and Diddy Hell. Allegedly...

It does bug me though that they think they can get away with it because they have loads of money, yet in the end, they're going to do time...

My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | Interesting Toppper, the more I think about it the more I feel sure that it was attributed at the time to Stan Boardman. Doddy made an oblique reference to it the "Audience with". Lester - Nice to hear from you again. Always interesting to hear a different point of view.
