'Survivor' Winner Charged in Tax Case

Richard Hatch, a Newport resident who became a millionaire when he won the first-ever "Survivor" series, was charged Tuesday with filing a false tax return for allegedly failing to report his winnings from the CBS show.

Hatch, 43, also was charged with failing to report about $321,000 paid to him by a Boston radio station, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Providence said.

The Survivor star faces up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge.

"Tax evasion is a felony offense and therefore a very serious crime. Being found guilty of tax evasion can carry with it up to a five-year prison sentence and/or fines totaling up to $100,000."
 
Richard is that type of guy who always love to take his clothes off on Survivors show, Maybe he would be more freely doing that in prison as well :giggle:

Sorry, back on topic, He should have been honest on his tax return, it bite him in the back now he has to pay a price for it. :doh:
 
He adopted a child?

Richard H. Hatch Jr. v. Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families
Filed: July 3, 2000
United States District Court, Providence, Rhode Island


Status: On March 1, 2001, a federal judge in Providence, Rhode Island, dismissed Hatch's suit. U.S. District Judge Ernest C. Torres ruled that officials acted reasonably when they took Hatch's son because the boy had told the same story to a half-dozen different people and a doctor had found there was physical evidence consistent with Chris' charge that his father abused him.

Then on August 16, 2001, Judge Torres tossed Hatch's claim against Middletown police that they falsely arrested him and that they invaded his privacy by releasing his arrest report to the news media. The judge did, however, allow Hatch to move forward with his invasion-of-privacy beef with several unnamed "John Does," after they leaked a police mug shot and a witness statement to the National Enquirer.

The Case: He's known as "that naked gay guy" on Survivor--the pudgy corporate trainer who helps lead the never dull Tagi tribe. But before CBS' hit castaway show invaded our living rooms, Richard Hatch says police unfairly labeled him a child abuser in front of the national media.


Hatch is now suing, claiming he was falsely arrested for child abuse by Middletown, Rhode Island, police and that the state's Department of Children, Youth and Families violated his civil rights by taking away his 10-year-old adopted son, Christopher.


Hatch, 39, was arrested April 27, 2000--two days after he returned from his 39-day adventure on the Malaysian island of Pulau Tiga. This came after Christopher told police that Hatch--who was reportedly upset the kid had gained weight while he was gone--woke the boy up at 4:30 a.m., forced him to go jogging and roughed him up when he disobeyed an order. Police said Hatch grabbed his son by the ear and neck when he became tired, then forced him to do push-ups.


But Hatch claims in his lawsuit that the child fabricated the tale because he was angry. "I love my son, and I've done whatever I can to keep him safe," Hatch says. "There's no foundation to any of the original charges. The only thing true is that we did go for a run, a very slow jog...but Chris had already been running six miles a week with me before I left."


According to Hatch's suit, "[The child] exhibited extremely serious behavioral and emotional problems as a result of his past abuse and neglect. This behavior manifested itself in part through numerous fits of uncontrolled rage resulting in self-injury and repeated acts of lying and deceit."


The suit then adds, "As a direct and proximate result of DCYF's unwarranted separation of [Chris] from Richard's care, custody and control...[the child] has suffered an extreme regression in behavior and great psychological and emotional harm, and Richard's relationship with [Chris] has been grievously damaged."


After a closed family hearing May 25, a judge ordered the child returned to Hatch. But felony charges are still pending, and prosecutors reportedly have not decided whether to pursue the case.


Hatch also filed a complaint against Middletown police, saying they falsely arrested him and leaked information about the case to the national media. In a letter to the Middletown Town Council, Hatch's lawyer, Joseph Palumbo, said the police department's actions "have caused grievous and irreparable harm to Mr. Hatch's standing and reputation." Hatch is seeking $1.5 million in damages from police.


"[W]ith absolutely no effort by police to conduct any semblance of any investigation, the police precipitously arrested Mr. Hatch and locked him up," Palumbo writes. "To add extreme insult to injury, the police department subsequently released information and details of the unfounded allegations of child abuse to local and national media."


Sidebar: Hatch, who is not married, adopted the boy about three years ago, and the child stayed with relatives while Hatch flew off to the land of immunity challenges, Tribal Councils and rat-kabobs.
 
Abused lover

Judge Battens Down Hatch

by Marcus Errico
Sep 24, 2001, 2:45 PM PT

Richard Hatch had little trouble convincing the Survivor jury he deserved the cash. But Hatch's oratory skills didn't do much to sway a real-life judge.

The original Survivor winner was dealt a big loss in court Monday when Newport, Rhode Island, District Court Judge Robert K. Pirraglia found Hatch guilty of domestic assault on a former lover.

Pirraglia sentenced Hatch to a year's probation in the August incident, in which he allegedly shoved ex-boyfriend Glenn Boyanowski down a flight of stairs when Boyanowski showed up uninvited to Hatch's home.

Hatch vowed to appeal the verdict. In post-court remarks to Rhode Island's WPRO-AM, he said, "It's a ludicrous ruling, and I'm not sure what's behind the judge's personal reasons for it, but it's certainly not objective."

Boyanowski, 39, filed a complaint August 20 with police, claiming the 40-year-old Hatch grabbed him by the neck and hit him in the head, before kneeing him in the mouth, pushing him off the outside stairs of Hatch's home and telling him to "get off the property." In addition to being an ex-boyfriend, Boyanowski claimed he was hired by Hatch as a "caretaker" for the Survivor winner's adopted son, and he had gone to Hatch's house to "discuss his job status."

After Boyanowski filed his complaint with the cops, he was taken to Newport Hospital and treated for minor injuries to his lip and neck, and then released. Hatch was arrested the following day, when he went to the local courthouse to get a restraining order against his ex.

During the weeklong, nonjury trial that began last Monday, Hatch testified that Boyanowski showed up at the Hatch homestead to catch a glimpse of the former Tagi tribesman's new boyfriend. Hatch says he twice pushed Boyanowski down a flight of stairs to keep the man from getting inside his home, where his son and guest were. (Last month, Hatch told a Boston radio station that Boyanowski came charging at the house and "flipped out", and Hatch said he was just defending his turf.)

When asked why he didn't just call police, Hatch said he didn't want Boyanowski to get into serious trouble.

Hatch and Boyanowski broke up about three months ago, according to the clothes-eschewing ex-castaway.

This, of course, isn't Hatch's first run-in with Rhode Island cops. Last year, just days after his return from the island of Pulau Tiga, he was arrested on charges that he roughed up his then-9-year-old adopted son during an early morning jog. But the charges were later dropped. Hatch then unsuccessfully sued state officials and police, claiming he was falsely arrested.
 
Jay Leno cracked a good one last night. He was talking about the possibility of Hatch doing hard time, and he said "let’s see how much he likes walking around naked NOW." :lol:

Heh heh—the fat fuck has been indicted now. He’s lookin’ at up to 75 years in the slammer. What a dumbass. :roll: I’ll bet Sue Hawk is gloating over a Heineken right now with a shit-eating grin on her face. :lol:


:lol: The guy is a slime-ball in disguise. If he's smart, he'll try for another plea deal. Seventy-five years is a hell of a long time to pay for one's arrogance.

Heath, I wouldn't put money into the lottery. Statistically, if you spend a thousand dollars on lottery tickets, you will earn far less than you will earn if you put your money into investments for over a year.

Yes Endymion, you have a good point.

I only spend $1.00 per week on a ticket. I don't go out and buy 10 or 20-25 lottery tickets like some people do.

I will have to look more into Wall Street and invest some money in there.

Please tone down with 'gay bashings'.. His sexual preference had nothing to do with it - just his greediness! Thanks.
 
Is this the same Richard Hatch from the old Battlestar Galactica series?

Sounds good. You would probably enjoy talking to a financial advisor, they know this stuff more than other people do. There are also great books out there, if you're interested.

For most people who are just starting to get interested in managing their money, I'm a bit fond of It Pays to Talk: How to Have the Essential Conversations with Your Family About Money and Investing by Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz and Charles Schwab. The book talks about money and how it applies to you. The authors don't go into strange, weird equations about stock valuation, net present value and all that. Instead, they explain the basics and they give you all sorts of important advice about you.

The authors cover how to teach your kids money, how to talk to your parents about estate planning to make sure you don't get screwed when they pass away, and how to discuss financial issues (like prenups, mutual money management, etc) with your future mate.

It's a very good introductory book.

Hi Endymion, Yes I would enjoy having a conversation with a finanical advisor when I get to Pittsburgh and start to invest alittle at a time until I can make some serious money on Wall Street. I will have to look into that book which is good for a beginner like me... I know alittle from what I am learning about Wall Street and things like that. I used to have the book, I will show you ...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/06...104-9162359-7310330?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

I keep learning more and more everyday. Thank you very much :) :thumb:
 
1/18 UPDATE: Hatch agreed to plead guilty to two counts of tax evasion in a non-binding agreement filed in Rhode Island federal court today. Prosecutors say they will recommend a reduced sentence for the "Survivor" winner as long as he does not opt to change his plea to not guilty. Click here to read the plea agreement.


Richard Hatch Hit With Tax Evasion Rap

IRS says "Survivor" winner didn't report his million dollar prize

JANUARY 18--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.
