I'm a Wesley fan... I've heard he's being sent to the slammer for three years for tax evasion.

Considering the level of his cheating the government, he should count himself lucky.

I am a fan; but find nothing sad about him being punished for his crime.

Frankly, its just plan arrogance to NOT give Uncle Sam what your supposed to. I think some people get it in their head the rules don't apply to them. I know my adopted brother went through this on a much smaller scale, he was an independent contractor and decided Uncle Same wouldn't miss 8 grand he owed them. Well they did and they took him to court.

What a strange defence he put up - he didn't see why he owned the taxes and uncle sam had to prove he owed such things! Surely a multi-millionaire could get good tax advice?

Three years in the slammer though... how much money are we talking about here for him to be punished for that long? I could probably go out... drink and drive, beat up my neighbor... kick my dog... run over some people at a farmers market and get less time in prison that he will.

I'm a fan also but he broke the law. He should be punished just like anyone else would be.

And maybe he can take some acting classes while he's in prison. His "performance" in court wasnt too good!
