I doubt he serves more than a year or two, if that. But even if he does, it'll be in some minimum security, white collar resort type prison. Then write his life story and make millions on the book. Only in America.
Well we will see if his little gay act was true or not. He will have plenty of boyfriends now with 13 years of Federal Time. lol..

Richard Hatch, the first winner of US reality TV show Survivor, has been convicted of not paying taxes on his $1m prize.
A jury also found him guilty of evading taxes on rental and employment income, but cleared him of seven other charges.
He now faces up to 13 years in prison and a fine of $600,000 (£336,000).
Mr Hatch shot to fame as one of 16 contestants marooned on a Malaysian island for the show which sparked a reality TV boom in the US.
During the trial, Mr Hatch had told the court that he thought the show's producers would be paying the tax on his prize money.
His lawyer also said Mr Hatch was a bumbling bookkeeper who could not handle so much money.
But the jury in Providence, Rhode Island, found him guilty of failing to pay taxes on his prize money, rental income from a property he owned and employment income which he earned as a co-host of a Boston radio programme.
He was acquitted of seven other charges, including bank fraud.
Mr Hatch was taken into custody after the judge said he was a potential flight risk.
The finale of the first series of Survivor attracted over 50 million viewers. Subsequent series have continued to attract viewers in the US.

So they win 1 mil and only see about half if it if they're lucky.
Our government is a load of .
Taxes are a necessary evil. Get used to it. Don't like it? Nobody is forcing you to stay.
I'll take 400 Gur if you don't want it...
Blow 100 and split the rest into 2-3 diff investments.
BTW They get paid more than that. They get like 10,000 a day. That's one reason to stay on the longest. They also get 10-20k to come on the CBS news the day after getting voted out.
