And former "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch was found guilty of tax evasion on his "Survivor" winnings and other income.  He was acquitted of other charges related to bank, mail and wire fraud charges.

The tribe, I mean, jury, deliberated for less than one day following a fairly brief trial of just over a week. 

After the verdict, Hatch was taken into custody, deemed a potential flight risk by U.S. District Judge Ernest Torres.

Sentencing will be held on April 28.  Hatch could spend up to 13 years in prison and face hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
