As is widely known, Wesley Snipes was found guilty of tax evasion a little while back, a charge which the actor believes to be bull shit. Because he would prefer not to go to prison for three years, Wes is attempting to appeal the verdict. Separately, Snipes was once a client of accused Ponzi schemer Kenneth Starr, who it came out several months ago had screwed a bunch of investors out of a bunch of money. These are two seemingly unrelated matters. And yet, today there is this:

The pole-dancer wife of accused Ponzi schemer Ken Starr claims private eyes for Wesley Snipes have been stalking her in a bid to find evidence to clear the actor of tax charges.

What? How? How does this make sense? What sort of evidence is the pole dancer going to have that will somehow prove Wes did not in fact fail to pay his taxes? And let’s just pretend she did have something [even though she doesn't], say, in her br– why does she have to be stalked to get it? Am I insane or is he?

Also, I don’t know if this is relevant to the situation but: “I’m talking with pay-per-view TV about a pole-dancing competition. I ran one last year and it will soon be screened on a Romanian sports network,” Passage said.

    I pitched that idea to an American sports network, and unfortunately did not have the same success. A clear indication a relative value.

    Also, to answer the above question, Starr was a key witness in Wesley’s tax-evasion trial.(although STAR would have been more convincing, and clearly not a ponzi schemer)

    Oh Bessar, its simple. Pole Dancing is good for what ever ails ya, kind of like Robitussin. Just pour a little pole dancin ‘tussin on it and no more tax evasion.

    Wesley Snipes must be broke if he hires “Private Eyes” who disclose his name.

    They followed me for a block and a half, then I lost them because they were sweating so much.

    A block and a half before ditching them? Sounds like Wesley hired some real pros.

    It’s all very simple, Diane knows about the account that Wesley set up with her husband to pay his tax liabilities… that bitch knows!!

    Bess, go ahead and take off early to celebrate your birthday. I’ll approve it.

    Probably he deducted these business related expenditures for the pole dance lady from the taxes “owed” and puff – now the IRS owes him now. Just make sure to keep the receipts!

    “…..Most stupidest”. Jeremy, I want to send a critique of your comment to your dorm address. Should I send it to you care of “Dipshit Hall” or the Testicle Liniment Application Room at your school’s athletic center?

    Be more respectful, since when is Harvard Extension School known only as “your school.” Next time, use the full name.

    You might be on to something. Diane claims to live in the same apartment building as Andrew Madoff. Madoff and Starr partners?

    If so, wouldn’t it be poetic justice if Wesley Snipes ends up in the same federal prison as Bernie Madoff?

    Not necessarily a man. Could be a boi or a handsome woman with a small garland of flowers on her head or a skull cap. Stare at it for a few and see what else you can come up with.

    Check out this crazy story from Minnesota about a hedge fund and the PR firm that it works with:

    Did she provide receipts? If so, did she clearly itemise and maintain correct records or were these considered part of the ‘alpha’ fees her husband’s ponzi performance delivered through his fund…

    I can imagine a whole separate tax case just for this side point…
