He just didn't file, he didn't try and manipulate the system and lie about his assets. Up until the day of sentencing, Snipes kept claiming he only owed $400,000-plus and then did the 11th hour pay-off. If he'd cut the $5mil checks the day of his conviction instead, they probably would have shown leniency. That entitled, egomaniacal jerk got JUST what he deserved.

Well I'll save the angry black rant for another time. Somewhere else some one mentioned Leona Helmsley (white woman), who spent 19 months in jail (originally convicted to 16 years) and she was convicted of tax fraud. Wesley wasn't but he gets 3 years. But maybe Wesley's celebrity status will get him out of jail early as well. All things being proportional with the aforementioned white woman and Wesley should spend about 3 to 4 months hard time before his release but we'll see. Anyway now I'm hung up on race and gender.

When the IRS went after him Nelson said he was guilty and worked toward a settlement. Meanwhile, Wesley Snipes hasn't paid taxes in 8 years (which charges him with not paying his taxes, and willingly not paying his taxes), he also tried to settle other US treasury debt with fake checks. His defense was that he didn't need to pay taxes, that taxes we're illegal. His defense didn't even call a witness, because they believed the prosecutor didn't make their case (despite the fact that the taxes are illegal argument has never held up in court). It's hard to reach a utopian society when everyone is so hung up on race. Willie Nelson was paying his taxes, but wasn’t paying the correct amount.

He probably figured that a fleet of lawyers could use his status as a minority actor to get off scot free and rub it in the courts face. Willie, on the other hand, had his assets auctioned off to pay $16.7 million in fines and even recorded The IRS Tapes to help raise money. In other words, he accepted he was wrong and gave the feds what he owed. Then he said fark it and smoked half of Jamaica to chill out and get over it.
