Blame the Accountant

Survivor winner and tax cheater Richard Hatch is trying what many of us call the “Willie Nelson defense,” as in this quote from a recent article on his trial.

Hatch …was relying on the advice of a self-employed accountant who was "in over her head."

 Hatch also conned another accountant:

One accountant Hatch hired estimated he owed about $230,000 in taxes for 2000, Reich said. The television star asked for a second return showing his estimated tax bill had he not won the million-dollar prize.

Despite warnings that the second analysis was for comparison only, prosecutors said, Hatch filed the return with the IRS.
