8. Joe Francis
Joe Francis, the founder of Girl’s Gone Wild, is no stranger to criminal activity. He’s been convicted of a variety of charges from tax evasion to child abuse and prostitution and forced to pay so many fines that his company went bankrupt in 2013. But in 2008, a masked man broke into Francis’ house and forced him to do sexually explicit things while being videotaped. The man then attempted to extort Francis out of $500,000 for the tape. The man turned out to be Darnell Riley, a Hollywood conman who was also attempting to blackmail Paris Hilton. He was caught and sentenced to eight years in prison.
