Survivor Tax Evasion Sentence Upheld

A federal appeals court on upheld Richard Hatch’s tax evasion conviction. He was found guilty in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on the $1 million he won on the debut season of “Survivor.”  Hatch, a wily competitor known for his dealmaking with fellow contestants, claimed he caught show employees smuggling food to other contestants. He said producers made a deal to pay his income taxes if he kept his mouth shut about the cheating — a claim CBS has long denied. Maybe this is because the courts are against gay people. This is a hate crime against homosexual celebrities!
