Maybe the issue was that Hatch brought the money into the US without declaring it. I have offshore accounts where I can make whatever money I want, completely untaxable. But once I try to bring it into this country it counts as income and gets taxed like income. Might be Hatch brought some of it in without declaring it... if he earned it in a tax-haven country, and the money went straight from the show to his offshore account, and he never brought it in to the US, then he should have been fine. I guess this wasn't the case (though I'm no tax expert).
