As much as I’ve blogged about reality TV star (and I use the term “star” lightly) Richard Hatch over the years, I feel I owe it to you to report that our favorite tax evader was released (again) from prison today.

Hatch’s most recent stint was the result of failing to file and pay the taxes for his $1 million winnings from CBS‘ Survivor. He served three years in federal prison for not paying the tax on those winnings initially, a sentence which was upheld despite a number of appeals, including one to the Supreme Court. Hatch was released from jail in 2009 but found himself in trouble again this year when he refused to follow the judge’s orders.

Hatch has claimed that he no longer has any money remaining. You and I both know what that means: more reality TV.
