Reality TV World wrote:Original 'Survivor' Richard Hatch sentenced to 51 months in prison
UPI News Service, 05/16/2006
A federal judge in Providence, R.I., Tuesday sentenced "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch to 51 months in prison for tax evasion and perjury.
In handing down the harsh sentence, U.S. District Chief Judge Ernest C. Torres berated Hatch, 45, for obstructing justice by lying "repeatedly," the Providence (R.I.) Journal reported.
Hatch, handcuffed and shackled, denied committing perjury, telling the judge: "I believe I've been completely truthful and completely forthcoming throughout the entire process."
The judge said the winner of CBS' inaugural "Survivor" competition was "in denial" and also ordered him to undergo counseling.
"I can't tell whether you've convinced yourself that some of these things are true that you've fabricated," Torres said.
Hatch was convicted by a federal jury Jan. 25 of two counts of tax evasion and one count of filing a false income tax return. Among the income he failed to declare was the $1 million "Survivor" grand prize and a Pontiac Aztec he won on the show.
One of Hatch's lawyers said an appeal is already under way.

Man, there's gotta be a way to work that whole "voted off the island" bit into a quip about prison life. My brain is froze up today.
Maybe he could form an alliance with Bubba the soap dropper?

The finale for the latest season was on this weekend. The host Jeff Probst said to the winner, "Don't forget--Pay Your Taxes!"

That's a pretty loose interpretation for personal income tax. What a dumbass, now he has to pay attorneys and his taxes.
