Tweetyeah see, he just came up with a hairbrain scheme to make an easy fortune. Those nasty old pervs thaht order that shyt love the hell outa those fresh dvds ever so often for next to nothing. It's kinda like alot of this shyt rap and other music that has no substance but they know that 5million people will spend $13 on it. Comparatively, it's like his Girls Gone Wild shyt goes platinum like 30 times a year. And Joe Francis makes all the money off of it. Really think about it for a second how hairbrain of a scheme that is... "Let's take some cameras to New Orleans during Mardi Gras. We'll have the chicks sign these release forms while they're smashed and sell the shyt out of them flashing tits and partying>"
Then he started getting girls that aspire to be on Girls Gone Wild, lmao!...unfukinbelievable.
Never seen any of it except for the commercials. Is it worth a shyt? lol

The franchise has become so successful in recent years that several knockoff videos emerged bearing the "Girls Gone Wild" name. These videos lack any other apparent connection to the franchise; for instance, they lack the typical stylized intro and on-camera narration from the show's producers, and contain no end credits of any kind—thus, they also do not contain the Mantra Entertainment logo. These particular videos have crews that will patrol the festivals in locations such as Mardi Gras or Las Vegas claiming to be affiliated with Girls Gone Wild, even distributing convincing Girls Gone Wild t-shirts. Videos compiled from the use of this technique have been released, at least via the Internet. Also Wild Party Girls and several other knockoffs have used the Girls Gone Wild formula with only minor aesthetic changes.[citation needed]
On December 16, 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against Mantra Films, Inc., and its sole officer and director Joseph R. Francis, seeking civil penalties for violations of previous Commission determinations concerning unfair and deceptive acts or practices and consumer redress. Violations of previous Commission determinations that an act or practice is unfair or deceptive and unlawful carry a civil penalty of up to $11,000 per violation. The Commission’s complaint alleges that since December 2000, Mantra and Francis deceptively marketed Girls Gone Wild videos and DVDs to consumers, automatically shipped these unordered videos and DVDs to consumers, and charged consumers for them without consumers’ consent.[4]
On July 30, 2004, the FTC announced a stipulated court order under which the sellers of "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs and videos would pay nearly $1.1 million as combined consumer redress and a civil penalty and will be barred from a wide range of activities detailed in a complaint the U.S. Department of Justice filed on behalf of the FTC in late 2003. According to the FTC, the defendants marketed "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs and videos as part of continuity programs that resulted in monthly shipments of DVDs or videos to consumers who did not agree to receive them.[5]
On September 12, 2006, Joe Francis, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mantra Films Inc., pleaded guilty to federal charges of failing to document the ages of young women engaging in sexual acts in the videos, as federal law requires. There was a plea agreement, part of which required Francis to pay $2.1 million: a $500,000 fine and $1.6 million in restitution. [6] A 2006 episode of Law & Order explored some of the controversy with Girls Gone Wild, using a fictional organization with similar practices.
On December 13, 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Mantra Films had been sentenced to pay $1.6 million in criminal fines for failing to create and maintain age and identity records for films it produced, and that the “package agreement” between the government and Mantra Films, MRA Holdings, LLC, and Joe Francis required a public acknowledgment of criminal wrongdoing, a pledge of cooperation with the government in future investigations, full compliance with the record keeping laws, and payment of a total of $2.1 million in fines and restitution.[7][8]
Joseph Francis, founder and CEO of both Mantra Films and MRA Holdings, LLC, was scheduled to be sentenced on similar offenses in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on January 22, 2007. [9] Under a three-year deferred prosecution agreement, MRA Holdings, LLC, is to employ an independent outside monitor to ensure that the company complies with federal laws. [10] In January 2007, Circuit Judge Dedee Costello in Pensacola, Florida dropped most of the charges against Francis [11] claiming that "the evidence did not support the allegations..." However, the remaining felony counts charge that Francis and the company used and conspired to use minors in sexual performances, charges which carry a combined maximum penalty of 40 years in prison. Two misdemeanor counts which also remain charge Francis and the company with prostitution. [12]

TweetJoe Francis' little Girls Gone Wild venture earns close to $30million a year. He is far from broke. His Girls Gone Wild took in $26million, I think it was, last year even with him being locked up and wrapped up in legal troubles. The money he's shelled out for his troubles so far is pocket change for him. I'm very familiar with the town that tryed to bust him for using minors. One of his camera guys got the ole fake IDs slipped by him. The owner didn't film anyone. Francis wasn't even present when his cameraman filmed the minors. His camera-man IDed the two girls and filmed the IDs and signing of the contracts per Francis' guidelines. Francis, the owner, has never even seen the footage. Nobody except the LE and prosecution has seen it and they won't release it to anyone. It seems that they were reaching trying to get Francis. And, Circuit Judge Dedee Costello is in Panama City. Not Pensacola.
