As a refresher, in April 2008, The New York Times reported that Snipes had been sentenced to three years behind bars for failing to pay millions of dollars in taxes. Though the actor attempted to pay up $5 million as a deposit, the court wouldn't allow it — and the judge wasn't swayed by character references from famous faces either. Two of Snipes' longtime friends, Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington, wrote to the judge regarding Snipes' moral uprightness. with the latter pointing out that the cornerstones of Snipes' life were "honesty, truth and courage" (via The Smoking Gun). Unfortunately for the actor, the court was unwilling to look past the staggering amount he owed the government. In 2010, CNN confirmed that he'd surrendered himself to a Pennsylvania correctional facility — and though he was released a few months early he served the remainder of his sentence under house arrest (via AP News).

 

Since late 2013, Snipes has been a free man. However, we can't help but wonder: What were his years in jail really like — and what does he have to say about the experience today?

 

Let's get one thing straight: Wesley Snipes is hesitant to refer to his time behind bars as prison. Far from it, in 2020, he told The Guardian that the minimum security nature of the McKean Federal Correctional Institution made it more like "camp."

German official dedicates legal win against Twitter to Fauci

Story by By FRANK JORDANS, Associated Press • 2h ago

 

BERLIN (AP) — A German official who won a defamation case against Twitter this week dedicated his legal victory on Thursday to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert targeted by the microblogging site's new owner, Elon Musk.

 

A Frankfurt regional court ruled Wednesday that Twitter has to remove false or defamatory tweets about Michael Blume, who is the southwest German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg’s commissioner against antisemitism. Crucially, the court made clear that the order applies not only to identical posts but also to any that are substantially similar.

 

Blume told The Associated Press that he wanted to dedicate the successful outcome of his case to Fauci, to send a signal that Twitter “can't simply let people be trolled and stalked for years.”

 

“When even Elon Musk himself lets trolls loose on a scientist, then that's disturbing,” he said. “I believe that's just wrong.”

 

Musk recently called for Fauci, a leading figure in the U.S. government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to be prosecuted. His tweet was warmly applauded by users opposed to the U.S. pandemic response, with some posting images of Fauci wearing prison garb or in a coffin.

 

Blume had taken Twitter to court in Germany after users of the platform suggested he had “a closeness to pedophilia,” of committing adultery, and being involved in “antisemitic scandals,” according to a court statement. Blume rejects all those claims as false and states that he acted after some Twitter users targeted his wife and children, too.
