Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were able to use Namibia as a hideout from the western world so why should actor Wesley Snipe be able to do the same?   Snipes is working in the country made famous by Jolie and Pitt and reportedly will be able to continue as long as he surrenders when he returns to the United States.

Snipes is currently in Namibia shooting the horror film "Gallowwalker."

According to media reports Snipes has reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service regarding his tax fraud charges.

The agreement will likely see Snipes surrender to federal authorities when he next returns to America.

In return for agreeing to a payment plan, Snipes will not be jailed and will be allowed both to continue working and to travel abroad.

The actor is wanted on an indictment that alleges he filed false refund claims of about $12 million and failed to file tax returns for six years. Before cutting his deal, he would have faced a maximum of 16 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

The film's director Andrew Goth says, "We are happy that he continues to turn up on set each day. If his indictment creates this amount of press, it shows he is a star."
