Wynn Continues With Lawsuit Frenzy: Sues Girls Gone Wild
Wynn Las Vegas Casino first went after NBA star Charles Barkley for a gambling debt, then - just the other day - they announced a lawsuit against the NBA itself. On Tuesday, Wynn decided that wasn't enough. Now comes word Wynn is suing Girls Gone Wild and its controversial founder, Joe Francis. The suit contends that Francis owes $2 mil in gambling debts from last February. Francis spokesman Ronn Torossian 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." In a statement, Francis said 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 said. Francis further suggested that Wynn Resorts Ltd. Chief Executive Steve Wynn "deceives his high end customers". Just the other day, Wynn went after the NBA alleging they were delinquent in paying for conference space at the hotel, money owed since the 2007 NBA All Star Weekend. ----- Gambling911.com News Wire Originally published July 2, 2008 10:12 pm EST
