Richard Hatch: Survivor Winner Finally Kinda Free

Richard Hatch, better known as the idiot first season winner of Survivor who didn’t pay taxes on the million bucks he won, has been released from federal prison.

He was sentenced to four years and three months in January 2006 and spent last spring trying to get sprung early.  He didn’t win that motion but ended up surviving (you had to know I couldn’t resist that).  He will now be at a halfway house until October.  Really? A halfway house for tax evasion?
