Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has been ordered to pay Wynn Casino mogul Steve Wynn $20 million in a defamation lawsuit.
A Los Angeles jury on Monday awarded casino mogul Steve Wynn $20 million, after it found that he had been defamed by "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis.
Wynn had sued Francis over the latter's claims that Wynn had threatened to have him killed and buried in the desert. Testifying last week, Wynn called the accusation a "terrible lie" that could potentially hurt his reputation and that of his eponymous company.
"He's unrepentant, vicious, out-of-control," Wynn said of Francis.
But since Wynn filed suit in 2010, Francis has maintained that the threat was real. He said music mogul Quincy Jones, his neighbor and a longtime friend of Wynn's, told him that Wynn wanted Francis dead in an email.
In court, Jones said that Wynn never threatened to kill Francis, and that Jones had never told Francis that Wynn had.
Francis' team has never produced the email; Wynn said that's because it doesn't exist.Jacked from The LA Times

Wow, Steve Wynn's face IS Joe Francis' future face.
However, if that perv turns up dead, we'll know Wynn wasn't bullshitting over some wart coming between him and his corporate billions.
