“Girls
Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis has lost a case in the Nevada Supreme
Court over $2 million owed to the Wynn Las Vegas casino. The high court
ruled that a lower court was right to grant summary judgment favoring
the casino because Francis abused his constitutional rights by
repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment at a deposition during
questioning from Wynn lawyers, even on questions like whether he was
married or if his father was alive. Francis had believed he was off the
hook for the $2 million marker in September when a Las Vegas district
court judge threw out the case, saying the Wynn casino waited too long
to collect the funds from Francis. But Thursday’s ruling puts him $2
million in the hole with the Wynn.
