“Blade” hero Wesley Snipes has been arrested on charges of tax fraud. Snipes is being accused of avoiding paying taxes for over 6 years, a crime that could land him in jail for quite a while. 16 years to be exact.

Snipes was filming a movie in Africa when these accusations surfaced. In an effort to clear his name, Snipes did finally return to the US this week. He was quickly arrested, but was later released on a $1M bond, just under 10% of the money the government claims he owes them.

Regardless of whether or not he is found guilty of tax fraud, the US government has found a neat little loophole for getting the money anyway. They will simply arrest Snipes 11 more times, each with a $1M bond.

Snipes allegedly owes $12M in unpaid taxes.
