Bankruptcy Judge Sandra Klein recommended jail time for Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis after he failed to turn over luxury cars owned by Girls Gone Wild to the lawyers who are handling the bankruptcy of the porn business, the Wall Street Journal. The Girls Gone Wild brand, whose low-budget, late night commercials advertised topless coeds on spring break, was sold to new owners earlier this year. Francis said that he can’t return the vehicles, a 2007 Cadillac Escalade and a 2012 Bentley Flying Spur, because a strip-club owner in Mexico — angry that several Girls Gone Wild promotions fell through — took them, according to court papers. Judge Klein didn’t buy that argument and last month decided to fine him $5,000 a day until the vehicles are returned.
