Category Archives: Richard Hatch

Winning $1 million on the premiere season of “Survivor” hasn’t kept Richard Hatch’s hairline from receding—or kept him out of jail. The follically challenged Hatch seems to have an aversion to paying income taxes, which is why he’s headed back to prison for the third time. Hatch has been ducking the IRS since taking the big prize on the reality show back in 2000. In 2006, the former corporate trainer was convicted of failure to pay taxes and sentenced to a three-year jail term, which he served. However, that didn’t get the reality villain off the hook, since he still didn’t amend his tax returns after his release.

Obviously, Hatch never learns, since his tax bill has now grown to $2 million, and on Wednesday he was sentenced to a nine-month term in a Rhode Island prison for tax evasion. Maybe if Hatch had offered Uncle Sam a reasonable settlement instead of lame excuses, he wouldn’t be spending the rest of the year sitting in jail, getting older—and balder.
