Considering the barrage of lawsuits aimed at him, it’s hard to figure out which one we’re referring to!
In this case, Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis agreed to a plea deal on Wednesday to federal tax evasion charges. He pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and will pay back taxes of $249,705 to get Uncle Sam off his back.
They went mayjahly easy on him, considering the shiz he pulled!
Francis released the following statement:
“I am grateful that Judge Otero accepted my plea today. I’m very pleased, if the judge accepts our agreement with the government, all felony tax charges will be dismissed and I will not spend any more time in jail. I look forward to the complete resolution of this matter on November 6. Demand for the Girls Gone Wild brand has grown tremendously in the past 12 years and we have a lot of work to do to accommodate that demand. I’m happy to finally be able to redirect my attention to the business at hand, which is to provide quality entertainment for our millions of fans around the world. I want to thank Brad Brian, Greg Weingart, Susan Nash and the lawyers at Munger, Tolles & Olson LLC in Los Angeles, and David Houston in Reno. The one thing I’ve learned about myself during this process is that I can be a difficult client, but they are a fantastic group of brilliant legal minds who recognized the truth when they saw it and had the passion to care about what happened to me. “
Girls Gone Wild is about as quality as you get if you wanna see tittays accompanied by a soundtrack of steel drums!
And although he’s delusional, enjoy the freedom!
We give it 6 months!
