Once a weasel, always a weasel. Today, at the tax evasion trial of original Survivor winner Richard Hatch, his lawyer mentioned to the judge that Hatch and the show's producers cut a deal after Hatch caught fellow castmembers cheating on the show. If Hatch didn't expose the cheating, the producers would pay the taxes on his winnings. Of course, that didn't happen, or else Hatch wouldn't be in the deep doo-doo he's in today. The judge is still deciding whether Hatch can give this information on the stand.

Hatch is also accused of dodging taxes on other income from outside the show (although I'm sure it stemmed from his appearance and win) and of using charitable funds for his own purposes. Sounds like a nice fella.
