Snipes Begs Judge to Bone Out

Posted Jun 26th 2008 3:05PM by TMZ Staff

Wesley Snipes wants to leave the country -- he just needs the government's OK.
Read the docs
Snipes is out on appeal after he was convicted of tax fraud back in April. Now he wants to travel to London and Bangkok to work on two films. Problem is, he needs his passport back from The Man before he can travel. So yesterday he filed paperwork asking for permission from his daddy (aka the judge) to go.

Snipes says he needs the work so he can get the money "to satisfy his civil tax liabilities." Too little, too late.

1. Well, I ain't sure about that.

He may bail from there than face time.

2. When he went to Hyde, there was nothing wrong with that but leaving the country? I would have to disagree with that. Like my opinion matters. LOL

5. Give me a break. Once he's out of the country you know its going to be hard for them to get it back here to serve his time. This is pathetic. HOW CAN HIS VISA BE APPROVED IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE IS A CONVICTED FELON BRITIAN.

He's a liar. He has millions stashed somewhere. And of course, like most liberal judges, this one will grant it becasue the judge is stupid enough to believe him that he will be back.

6. Now that the IRS and US government have sentenced Mr. Snipes for not filing taxes when are they going after the 20 million illegal immigrants who have not file taxes to the IRS or is tax evasion and not filing taxes another perk for the Illegal immigrant in the USA?

7. "Bone out" ???

8. You people are classic. Insert the race card because he is black. This is not the case here. This man has evaded millions and while there are other people in jail for evading just thousands, the only thing wrong with this picture is once again a celebrity is above the law. This has nothing to do with race, so keep it out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOL it was a 90's slang term for "Leave". Next they will write something like "Snipes is trying to shake the spot". Again, it means leave.

11. I vote we ban the term, "play the race card" from the English language for life.

12. Let this guy earn. Pay his fines and back taxes and move on.

13. That judge BETTER turn him down.
There's no way you or I would ever get a break like that.

What? Is Snipes somebody special?

I THINK NOT!

14. Thank you Brattus for the TMZ lingo lesson.........I was really getting confused with ALL the slang TMZ has been using lately!


How ignorant does Wesley think people are? I guess, ignorant enough that he would never get caught if he didn't pay his taxes. If he leaves the country, he won't be back!

15. Scalie ~ STFU! Go ahead, you be the "big guy" on campus and don't pay your taxes! I'll pass! I enjoy my life and my freedom and I know that there are two things in my life that I HAVE to do.............die and pay taxes. Neither of which I really WANT to do but, I HAVE to and I don't give a flyin flip it is written or not. So, go ahead be my guest!
