The real Florida Joker has released yet another statement demanding cash from Rockstar over the the GTA VI trailer.
Lawrence Sullivan initially rose to fame in 2017, after the mugshot of his heavily tattooed face - with joker scars and green hair - went viral.
Rockstar took inspiration from him and put a fictional character based on his likeness in their trailer, which was released on December 5th.

Sullivan immediately threatened to sue Rockstar unless they gave him $3 million dollars, which was increased to 5 million, and now to 10 in his latest video.
He also threatened to break out hacker Arion Kurtaj - who is in the middle of a court ordered hospital stay after leaking footage from GTA VI - and set a deadline of January 14 for the money to be sent.
GTA, GTA, we gotta talk. This is a reminder to the final warning. I keep getting harrassed wherever I go. I can't eat .... I can't even eat a goddamn pizza while 'can I've a picture Mr. GTA joker?' No you can't have a picture, I'm eating.
For a whole month I've been giving y'all free publicity, free publicity, I want my money. My birthday's January 11th. If you do not contact me three days after my birthday, I want ten million dollars. Ten million dollars for my suffering and pain, defamation of character, stop playing with me.

"When did GTA ever make the news? Never, and you're not gonna lock me up GTA, you ain't gonna put me in no psych ward," he continues.
"Keep playing with me, keep playing with me. I'm going to break that kid out of the psych ward right now, show you the real joker. I'll break that kid out of the psych ward, getting my lights up and we gonna hack your system system again, keep playin".
Another Florida man is also demanding payment for the same reason, although his case is less convincing than Joker's, as the character he is claiming is based off him is a lot more generic than Florida Joker.
