The trustee running the company behind the “Girls Gone Wild” videos asked a federal judge to ban the founder of the soft-core porn series from the company’s offices, saying he’s a violent man who threatened workers.
Joe Francis, who started the video series, threatened employees of GGW Brands LLC with “violent acts,” according to court papers filed by bankruptcy trustee R. Todd Neilson. GGW filed bankruptcy in February after being sued by Steve Wynn’s Wynn Las Vegas LLC and others trying to collect debts allegedly owed by Francis.
