An inmate residing at the Federal Corrections Institute in Williamsburg County, S.C. has filed a handwritten complaint against parties including Take-Two and Rockstar Games.
On April 9, inmate Jonathan Lee Riches, 31, filed a request for a temporary restraining order in a US District Court against Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two, developer Rockstar, FCI Williamsburg and "Grand Theft Auto" itself, claiming that the defendants "put me in prison."
Riches, who's incarcerated for wire fraud, wrote in his filing that he seeks a temporary restraining order against the "newest Grand Theft Auto games."
The inmate stated, "Defendants contributed to Plaintiff committing identity theft. Defendant's games show sex, drugs and violence which offends me."
Riches continued, "Defendants put me in prison. I face imminent danger from violent inmates who played Grand Theft Auto who will knock me out and take my gold Jesus cross."
FCI Williamsburg is a medium security prison that is currently home to 1,638 male inmates.
This isn't the first time that Riches has filed a lawsuit from prison. Riches sued suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick last year for "$63,000,000,000 billion dollars," alleging Vick had ties to Al Qaeda. He didn't win. He's also unsuccessfully sued Martha Stuart, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, President George W. Bush, Steve Jobs and Britney Spears, according to cited entries on Wikipedia.
Riches, a.k.a. 40948-018, is projected to be released in 2012, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' inmate locator.
The previous lawsuits just show how much of a nutjob this guy is. Why is it people take prisoners rights seriously? They should have thought about the rights they didn't uphold that ended them up in prison.
I wonder what makes someone sue for $63,000,000,000 billion dollars rather than $62,000,000,000 or $64,000,000,000 billion dollars.
I wonder what kind of legal system would allow someone to set their own ludicrously high figure like that. It sounds more than the gross domestic product of the whole world.
$63 billion, billion. Yeah, I don't think even American Football players earn that much in a year.
If he was to sue Bill Gates....he might get that much
This guy is trying to get famous by being a t**t and suing people....all that will happen in 2012 is that people will laugh at him when he steps out into the world
also i never think sportsmen will be part of terrorism, who ever thinks that? also $63 billion!? thats really outrageous just to sue someone. i think this guy needs to be in a mental hospital, not a prison.
Can I put a restraining order on the wii please. Also one is to sue Nintendo for well amm.. annoying me! Thus I am seeking damages from them totalling 1 Trillion dollars!!!!
Defendant Statement : I believe the Big N(ohh err missus) has effected my mental health with its retro biased products.
P.S The proof of mental health has got to be true I mean look at my grammar, and the fact I am putting in random legal words to try an look clever, and also not knowing how much a trillion actually is?
