Will he "Survive"?
Hatch guilty of tax evasion

Richard Hatch, who won $1 million US in the first season of Survivor, was found guilty Wednesday of failing to pay taxes on his winnings.

Hatch was also convicted of evading taxes on $327,000 he earned as co-host of a Boston radio show and $28,000 in rent on property he owned. He was acquitted of seven bank, mail and wire fraud charges. Hatch, 44, faces up to 13 years in prison and a fine of $600,000.

Hatch's lawyer, Michael Minns, said Hatch caught fellow contestants cheating and struck a deal with producers for the show to pay his taxes if he won.

That's reality for you.
