Steve Wynn Suing “Girls Gone Wild” Founder Joe Francis For $12M

(CelebNMusic247) Steve Wynn Suing “Girls Gone Wild” Founder Joe Francis For $12M:

Back in 2011, Joe Francis,the founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” upped the ante in a legal dispute over a $2 million casino debt with Las Vegas Strip casino mogul Steve Wynn and the Wynn Las Vegas resort.

A civil lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles alleges that an effort to criminally prosecute soft-porn impresario Joe Francis for failure to pay a casino IOU in 2007 amounted to malicious prosecution, conspiracy, abuse of process and defamation.

Its a year later and now hotel mogul, Steve Wynn attorney says jurors should consider awarding the casino mogul $12 million in his slander trial against “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis.

Wynn has denied Francis’ allegations and says they have hurt his reputation and may hurt his casinos and their thousands of employees.

Attorney Barry Langberg suggested the multimillion verdict during closing arguments Friday in Wynn’s case against Francis. Francis claims the casino creator threatened to kill him over a gambling debt.

 Langberg said during closing arguments in the three-day trial that Francis’ allegations amount to character assassination.

Francis claims neighbor Quincy Jones told him about the threats, but the Grammy winner testified Wynn never threatened the porn producer.

Wynn is the CEO of Wynn Resorts Ltd. and the designer of major Las Vegas hotel-casinos such as Bellagio and The Mirage.
