The Florida Joker is back and he has a new demand for Rockstar Games. This time, he's asking $10 million in damages for defamation of character as well as the pain and suffering he's endured since the studio's use of his "likeness" in Grand Theft Auto 6.
In the event the studio doesn't heed him, he threatens to break Arion Kurtaj out of prison and team up with him to carry out another hack of the company. The 18-year-old hacker who leaked GTA 6's source code, assets, and in-development footage, was recently sentenced to life imprisonment in a hospital prison for his actions.
In his latest video, Sullivan dressed in orange prison overalls and claimed he couldn't even eat pizza without people walking up to him and asking for pictures. He also claimed to have given GTA 6 publicity and implied he is responsible for the record-breaking success of its trailer, including becoming the most-watched gaming video within 24 hours of release as well as the most-liked entertainment trailer ever on the platform.
Since Rockstar Games released the GTA 6 trailer, the Florida Joker, real name Lawrence Sullivan, has been a thorn in its side. The fiasco began when, shortly after the trailer's debut, Sullivan threatened the developer with a lawsuit claiming the company used his likeness, without seeking his permission, for one of the game's characters.
