Was Snipes really just asking the IRS innocent questions?
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Or does he just have a problem paying taxes?
Last week, a New Jersey newspaper reported that Snipes’ outstanding tax liens on his Alpine, NJ home in the amount of $67,108 had been sold at auction in December. If he doesn’t pay this amount off in the next two years, the new owner of the lien can foreclose [...]

Rosile and Kahn were both convicted on two felony counts (conspiracy to defraud the government, and aiding in the filing of Snipes’ false refund return.) Snipes was convicted on three misdemeanor counts (willful failure to file tax returns) and acquitted [...]
