Luke Wilson -- Bitch Betta Have My Money! Beats Ex-Assistant in Court

Luke Wilson's ex-assistant tried to act like he forgot, but the actor just scored a huge sum of money from the guy. Like brrap brrap brrap ...

A judge awarded Wilson $438k from Charles Lodi -- the former employee he sued for using his credit cards to rack up more than $120,000 in vacations, wedding expenses, and cold hard cash.

In the suit, Wilson said he caught Lodi red-handed in 2014 ... and they reached a settlement. Lodi was supposed to pay back $75k in 3 installments -- but only paid back $15k before he went ghost ... fleeing to Utah.

The downside for Luke is Lodi's still in the wind -- he never responded to the lawsuit, and the chances of him actually having the money seem slim to none.
