As 45-year-old actor Wesley Snipes’ sits in a court room chair facing tax fraud, conspiracy and willful failure to file tax returns, the next 16 years of his life could soon be predetermined.

Like most celebrities that find themselves in “sticky situations,” Snipes is claiming that he fell victim to poor advice provided by his two co-defendants, Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas Rosile.
