You’ve seen him on those late-night infomercials. You might have seen him on the talk-show circuit. But you might not see much more of him outside of Court TV.

The man behind Girls Gone Wild, Joe Francis, was indicted in April by a federal grand jury on two counts of tax evasion. His trial was supposed to begin last week, but it’s been postponed until April 2008. That may or may not be good news for Francis; he’s in jail in Reno, and he’s been denied bail because he’s also facing six felony counts in Florida.

Francis is pegged at –220 on the entertainment props market to be convicted on those tax evasion charges. These are serious charges, too: The United States Department of Justice claims Francis made over $20 million in improper business deductions. Given his laundry list of previous encounters with the law, it’s highly unlikely Francis will be hobnobbing with the young and topless anytime soon.
