Did he think everyone would forget about that million he won? Was he hoping that he would be able to slide through this return with the same ease as he had with so many returns before? <br /><br />What Hatch failed to realize is that the game was not over after the show ended. He's faced penalties of up to $500,000 and a five year sentence.<br /><br />Maybe he could have took part in a new reality court TV series, you heard it here first :)<br /><br />No idea what the outcome was though?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8422989-1740907006428044751?l=doctorgreg.blogspot.com'/></div>Bloggernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422989.post-81920535631000189952009-04-20T03:12:00.000-07:002009-04-20T03:14:06.093-07:00Does working out after months of physical inactivity give you gas? At least empirically, I'd have to say yes.<br /><br />I was cruising on the treadmill today when suddenly the thunder came a roarin'. Silent but oh so deadly. And once the floodgates had opened, there was no turning back.<br /><br />I figured I would play it cool. Keep running, make no odd facial expressions, stare at the TV screen.<br /><br />I was shocked the girl next to me didn't fall off her treadmill. Then again, maybe she hadn't worked out in months either and was playing it cool herself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8422989-8192053563100018995?l=doctorgreg.blogspot.com'/></div>Bloggernoreply@blogger.com0
