Joe Francis believes the United States of America is out to get him, and the "Girls Gone Wild" honcho is now making a federal case of it.
Francis filed a lawsuit claiming the IRS was pissed after Joe cut a misdemeanor plea deal in his felony tax fraud case. Joe says within 3 hours of the time he walked out of the courthouse a free man, the IRS concocted a scheme to unlawfully freeze $33 million of his assets.
According to the suit, the only circumstances under which the feds can freeze assets before getting a court judgment is if it looks like the taxpayer is about to flee the country, if the taxpayer is trying to move assets out of the reach of the IRS, or if the taxpayer looks like he's about to go belly up.
Joe says there was no basis to freeze his assets, other than revenge. So he wants the federal judge to unblock his account ... and he wants lawyers fees.

This isn't the first or last time the Northern District of Florida has used their buddies with the IRS to illegally seize assets.
I hope all this comes to light with time.
How is the suit progressing against Bay County, Panama City, Florida?
See ya on the 22nd of February at the Federal Court House, Joe.
Good Luck...tear them a new one!
Your new attorney is great.
One against a herd and he sure holds his own.
Hey Joe, just put the tax bill on your Visa and move on, life's too short. Or, buy so many new houses, they will owe you money.
Pervert. He deserved everything he got. Karma is a bitch dude. Deal with it
Bahahahahahaha!!!! The whole world thinks he is an IDIOT ! The only friends he has are kiss ups and wanna be starlets ! hahahaha! We all know who he is-really ! YAY Uncle Sam ! He is SCREWED !
JO IS A JOKE, cant keep his porn money down. Might as well start pimping.
Idiots like Puke Francis make me wanna vomit. Might as well give those $33 million dollars to Good Will, that organization would make such a better use out of it, rather than continuing to mass produce more underage teen porn.
Rot in hell Joe.
All the haters are jealous of Joe's wealth
Tell ur daughters not to show their titays for a trucker hat and then sign a release form, idiots
Taliban, KKK, KimJunIl, Joe Francis: human rights violators
Oh well Joe! That money will all go to a good cause. They can bail out a hula hoop factory, or get NASA a new hammer.
The doofus who keeps coming on here to defend Joe Francis is either Joe Francis or a fat pedophyle who enjoys teen porn.
