Joe Francis of "Girls Gone Wild" "holds the all-time record for cuckoo," claims gambling mogul Steve Wynn.

Francis claims that Wynn threatened to kill him by hitting him in the head with a shovel and burying him in the desert.

Wynn told TMZ.com:

"This man has flipped his rocker.  He is nuts. I have never met or laid eyes on him in my life.  This is the most bizarre thing in my 68 years."

Francis was in court Monday morning over a $2 million gambling debt judgment he owes Wynn.

In 1997, at the age of 24, Francis founded Mantra Films, Inc.  Building on Francis' discovery that he could film college-age women "going wild," including baring their breasts for the cameras at spring breaks and other locales, Mantra has become a company with over 30 employees and has recorded sales in excess of $10 million per year.  Mantra also spun off the Guys Gone Wild DVD series.

While Gambling911.com was in Austin, Texas last summer, the Girls Gone Wild crew was staying next store to our room and these girls acted as if they were celebrities.  Nobody in the hotel paid them much mind, however.  Most looked like washed out hoochies that were rejected by Penthouse.
