Joe Francis, Long Fall From a Pile of Money

As I recently posted, the Girls Gone Wild, bus zoomed past us in Coconut Grove last week. This week the founder Joe Francis has had to turn himself in to the authorities. With all the money and goods he has piled up he is learning a big lesson, money and notoriety do not remove the mantle of responsibility. The 34 year old makes an estimated $29 million a year from breast baring girls buzzed and looking for their 15 minutes of fame. One original charge was filming seven under age women; perhaps his biggest blunder was thinking that money could insulate him from a judge’s order to surrender to U.S. marshals on a contempt charge. Be cool on the way up cause you just may have a long drop back down.
