An arrest warrant has been issued for Snipes. The suit also names two others, including Douglas Rosile, a certified public accountant from Venice, with organizing the scheme to defraud the IRS.Ă‚ Rosile continued to practice after his CPA license was revoked in Florida and Ohio.

According to a news release, Snipes could face a year in federal prison for each year he failed to file income taxes and five years for each conspiracy and false claims charge.Ă‚ Snipes is charged with a total of 8 counts. U.S. Attorney Paul Perez said Rosile turned himself in and will face a magistrate in Ocala this afternoon.Ă‚ Snipes is accused of sending the IRS false “bills of exchange” – documents that are meant to look like checks, but carry no monetary value, Perez said.
