['David Pescovitz']

Date: 2023-12-11

Above left is Lawrence Sullivan, the infamous "Florida Joker" who was arrested in 2017 in Miami, Florida for allegedly pointing a gun at automobiles driving by. Above right is a character featured in the new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer just released last week. Mr. Joker isn't happy.

""GTA, we got to talk – if not, you got to give me like a mil or two," Sullivan said on Instagram. "That's me—that's the person they got their inspiration from me… Florida Joker ain't having that. Y'all took my likeness. Y'all took my life."
