<p>Finally, the federal government has accepted an offer from <em>Girls Gone Wild</em> founder Joe Francis. Earlier this year, the feds <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/online/politics/2009/01/uncle-sam-to-spend-5-billion-on-porn.html" target="_blank">turned down his request for bailout money</a>, but the <strike>filmmaker</strike> <strike>entrepreneur</strike> <strike>executive</strike> soft-core porn guru had better luck with the judiciary branch. His deal to get out of jail came through.</p>
<p>U.S. District Judge S. James Otero <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/taxes/2009-11-06-girls-gone-wild_N.htm" target="_blank">accepted a plea agreement</a> that Francis reached with prosecutors. It will put him on probation for the next year for filing false income tax returns. He was also sentenced to time served -- 301 days, but that's all in the past. He also has to pay restitution of $250,000.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/11/08/francis-gone-free-time-served-probation-and-restitution-for-so/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Francis gone free: Time served, probation and restitution for soft porn mogul</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/11/08/francis-gone-free-time-served-probation-and-restitution-for-so/">Francis gone free: Time served, probation and restitution for soft porn mogul</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:40:00 EST.
