What happened with Carole Baskin’s IP infringement claims against Joe Exotic?

While the Tiger King show on Netflix ended without definite resolution, a federal judge has now provided the final chapter of the legal saga between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin ruling that: 

  • Joe Exotic committed IP infringement and was found guilty;

  • Exotic’s quit claim deed transfer of ownership of his zoo to his mother was indeed an illegal transaction and considered fraudulent because it was an attempt to conceal Exotic’s assets to avoid payment of the civil judgment against him; and

  • Exotic must transfer ownership of the zoo to Baskin and have any animals on his zoo removed within 120 days of the holding.
