Snipes was actually released on Tuesday, April 2, but it took this long for TMZ to realize it. CNN reports that he is now in a "supervised residential location in New York," to which H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt are no doubt locked in a head-to-head race at this very moment, each hoping to be the first to offer him a sweet pitchman gig.
