Joe Francis -- Free at Last!

Joe Francis has just dodged a bullet by pleading guilty to filing false tax returns


Francis struck a deal with federal prosecutors in L.A. and will avoid jail time. He'll plead guilty to two counts of filing bogus returns.

Francis could have faced 10 years in prison. Instead, he'll pay $250,000 in restitution and get credit for time service -- 301 days in jail.

He's also guilty of being a total fuckbag, but sadly, that's not against the law...I hope he runs headfirst into an AIDS tree.......

interesting

not really

Who was this guy again?

You or I would be in jail for X years.

not really, the IRS dont care much unless there is some fat on you.
they go after the high revenue..
Actually i think Joe was hit harder than most for the tax evasion, but the guy has other problems so i doubt he can stay out for long..

:2 cents: :2 cents:

Only $250k?

I bet Media would have raised $250k just to see Joe in jail. ; )

LOL.. no comment

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
:2 cents:

:1orglaugh

250k for all the money he has cheated them. LOLOLOL

Slap on the wrist. I bet he'll cheat them again.

I'm now lawyer but I would guess that's just the penalty for doing it. He'll probably have to file real tax returns now and pay late penalties and interest on what he actually owes. :2 cents:

He still had to pay the taxes and the penalties... That $250,000 is just a court fine on top of it.

:2 cents::pimp

that was just the fine on top of the taxes due with interest.
not to mention 300 days in jail..

dont mess with the IRS, they fucked more porners than the doj.

Little Joe will be back in jail at some point, Getting traded up and down the cell block for a pack of newports... :)

This may be a different topic, but..

I have always seen that he can not keep his hands off underage girls as well.

In the end, money will buy your freedom.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the assault charges still pending form punching and kicking the playmate? Still might be some jail time down the road...

I bet Steve Wynn is gonna get lots more from Joe Francis if he wins his lawsuit against Francis for welshing on gambling debts at Steve's casinos.

Then there is the lawsuit brought by previous lawyers, and I believe there is still yet another case involving minors pending against the convicted sex offenderl, which will likely add to his already extensive criminal rap sheet. :disgust
