It's not a matter of whether the government will "allow" anything - the law is quite clear that Snipes is wrong.

If you're implying that the government will take extra-legal or illegal action to ensure his conviction, you have no basis for that and it's simply your own cynical conjecture.
What is the standard punishment for tax frauders? Will he need to pay the money back and then some? A fine should be added to the amount as tax on a loan, because that is essentially what he did, illegally. But what other punishments should be placed onto him? Maybe another fine for being fraudulent is in the making - would the government rather send someone to jail or get money out of them? That is the question.


Poison for the system!
