Joe Francis files lawsuit against his former accountant
Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has filed a lawsuit against his former accountant, accusing him of mishandling company tax reports.
Francis alleges his former CPA messed up his firm Mantra Films, Inc’s books. He claims that the accountant, Michael Barrett, failed to alert him to tax issues and alledges he breached a duty of loyalty by not doing so.
Francis also claims that Barrett was desperate to claim a $10 million reward from the IRS, despite being responsive for preparing, filing, and signing tax returns.
He’s seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
Even if he’s right, I still think this guy is a total idiot.
