Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Wesley Snipes got suckered by these tax-protest profiteers, now he's surrendered to federal marshals. And, he's wiped the tax-protester fantasies from his mind, such as it is, and to some extent appears to have wised up a bit. He's going to shift blame to where some of it certainly belongs, on the tax-protest guys who peddled lies to him, which he believed out of a likely combination of ignorance and greed.

According to the indictment, Snipes had his taxes prepared by accountants with a history of filing false returns to reap payments for their clients. The firm American Rights Litigators would receive 20 percent of refunds from clients, according to the indictment.
"We believe the evidence in the case will show he has been the victim of unscrupulous tax advice. And this trial will help vindicate him," said Billy Martin, Snipes' lawyer.
