Las Vegas casino sues ‘Girls Gone Wild’ founder

(via The Associated Press) · July 1, 2008 · 4:33 PM

The Associated Press reports "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis is being sued by a Las Vegas Strip casino for $2 million in gambling debts from February of last year.

A spokesman for Francis said Tuesday that the man who built the soft porn empire already had satisfied his debt to the Wynn Las Vegas casino through "prior agreements" and that he planned to fight the lawsuit.

"The Wynn hotel has chosen not to honor its agreement to apply certain discounts to balances they have already been paid for," Francis spokesman, Ronn Torossian, said in a statement.
