Well, well, well. Look who is in deep dookie..
Richard Hatch, the first winner of CBS’s “Survivor,” was charged today with failing to report his $1 million reality TV windfall to the Internal Revenue Service. The below two-count criminal information, unsealed today in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island, charges Hatch with filing a false 2000 tax return that omitted his seven-figure “Survivor” winnings. The nudity enthusiast, 43, is also charged with filing a false return for 2001 (he allegedly did not report $321,000 paid to him by a Boston radio station). If convicted of the felony charges, Hatch could face a maximum of five years in prison for each count and could be hit with a $250,000 fine. Hatch is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in Providence federal court January 24.
I find this very amusing. I got sick of watching Hatch parade his naked butt around on national TV. Read all about it on The Smoking Gun.
