Joe Kristan (Roth Tax Updates) brought news of my favorite tax evader, Richard Hatch, to my attention. It seems that Mr. Hatch believes the only reason he was imprisoned was that he was gay.
Well, I beg to differ. When 300 million witnesses get to see you win $1 million and you decide not to pay taxes on it, bad things will happen. Add in evading tax on $300,000 of income from a radio broadcast, and you have a recipe for ClubFed. And to top that off, at trial evidence comes out that he filed a tax return that his accountant told him not to file.
Even Perry Mason couldn’t have gotten Hatch off.
