The 48-year-old actor is now incarcerated in McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Lewis Run, officials said.

Snipes' attorney said he is appealing his client's misdemeanor convictions for not filing tax returns in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Snipes was acquitted of felony charges.

1. He should have stolen a billion dollars, and killed a bunch of poor people and old folks

Then he'd walk scot-free, and maybe have a job with the GOP, or Carlyle Group, etc.

can work some magic...One of my fav actors, a superb talent.

The wealthy should not have to obey the tax laws, they must be only meant for the masses....well look at it from a glass half full perspective, at least it appears his tax cuts will be extended.
