The “Florida Joker” who challenged Rockstar to discuss the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer recorded another appeal. In it, he demanded 1 or 2 million dollars from the company for using “his image” in a game video.
Let us remember that the “Florida Joker” is a real criminal named Lawrence Sullivan, who gained some fame due to his flamboyant style. Currently, he runs social networks and tries to attract the attention of the creators of GTA.
Apparently, Rockstar never contacted Sullivan after his initial contact. And it’s unlikely that a criminal will be able to get “a million or two” from the company, because the image in the trailer can be called a parody.
The same opinion is shared by actor Roger Clark, who played the role of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2. He recorded his appeal to the “Florida Joker”, in which he said that Rockstar has many excellent lawyers, so it will not be possible to extract money from it, and the criminal himself He’s far from the first to try something like this. Clark advised Sullivan to try to somehow capitalize on the fame that had fallen on him, because with such a face he would not get an ordinary job in some store (approx. — Clark mentioned working at The Home Depot).
