"Francis repeatedly passed gas during the deposition"


(Francis attended a deposition in connection with the lawsuit and tried to take the fifth amendment with respect to almost all questions asked, including whether or not he owned a cell phone. During the deposition Francis repeatedly took out his cell phone and appeared to answer emails, and at one point took a call. Steve Wynn's attorneys reported that Francis repeatedly passed gas during the deposition. ?As the court will see from reviewing the video clips of Francis? deposition, his utter contempt for the judicial system is apparent, including his repeated attempts to disrupt the deposition with flatulence,? the lawyers wrote. Ultimately, the judge in the case ruled that Francis was liable for the entire $2 million, calling Francis? conduct ?the most ridiculous exercise of the Fifth Amendment I think I?ve ever seen.?)
