The Florida Joker Is Now Upping His Monetary Demands From Rockstar

Lawrence Sullivan, nicknamed the Florida Joker, is escalating his financial demands against Rockstar Games. The heavily tattooed man previously warned that he might litigate against the company, alleging they appropriated his image for a character in Grand Theft Auto VI without permission.

Rockstar has remained silent in the face of Sullivan's potential legal challenge, even after he took the initiative to send them a written correspondence. In reaction to this silence, Sullivan has increased the compensation he's seeking from an initial $2 million to a now steeper $5 million.

In a final attempt to communicate before proceeding with the lawsuit, Sullivan has bluntly accused the gaming company of underestimating his intellect, asserting.

"Y'all playing with my intelligence ... I want $5M now."
