Tiger King's Joe Exotic to launch GoFundMe to help pay legal fees

Tiger King's Joe Exotic to launch GoFundMe to help pay legal fees

Joe Exotic is reportedly launching a GoFundMe to help with his legal fees.

The Tiger King star is four years into a 22-year prison sentence after being found guilty of a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin, as well as violations of animal welfare law.

It's reported he's looking for 500-thousand dollars to cover fees associated with his ongoing issues with his rival.

A judge ordered Joe to pay Carole almost 10-thousand dollars from a dispute over the zoo he used to own, while he also owes 1 million dollars to her Big Cat Rescue organisation as part of a trademark infringement lawsuit.

It's reported he appealed to the GoFundMe team to get his page approved.

Joe Exotic was transferred to a medical facility last November after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
