Wesley Snipes has been busted for tax fraud, according to CNN. Besides not filing for 6 years, Snipes, last seen in Blade, claimed refunds totalling $12 million. But, Snipes must have had help:

According to the indictment, Snipes had his taxes prepared by accountants with a history of filing false returns to reap payments for their clients. As part of the deal, the indictment alleges, the firm, American Rights Litigators, would receive 20 percent of refunds from clients.

He could have just gone to H & R Block, but no-o-o. These folks, and Snipes, have been in trouble before. Snipes hasn’t been arrested, as no one can find him.

Tax troubles–not just for fat, cheesy, reality stars.
