A warrant has been issued for Wesley's arrest, but his whereabouts is unknown. A federal grand jury has indicted Snipes and co-defendants Eddie Ray Kahn of Sorrento, Florida, (believed to be in Panama) and Douglas Rosile, of Venice, Florida, who has turned himself in. Allegedly Snipes did not file federal income tax returns from 1999-2004 and conspired with Kahn and Rosile to file two amended returns for Snipes for 1996 and 1997 fraudulently claiming tax refunds of almost $12 million. Kahn is the founder of American Rights Litigators and its successor, Guiding Light of God Ministries, both based in central Florida. Rosile is an accountant who prepared tax returns for ARL members. It is reported that Kahn and Rosile had a scheme that claimed U.S. citizens and residents did not have to pay taxes on income earned in the United States. The conspiracy and false claim charges each carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $200,000 fine. Snipes also faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine on each charge of failing to file income tax returns.(Reuters)
