Jonathan Lee Riches is known for the many lawsuits he has filed in various United States district courts.[1] Riches is incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Williamsburg in Salters, South Carolina, for wire fraud under the terms of a plea bargain.[2][3][4] His projected release date is March 23, 2012.
On April 9 Riches filed a request for a temporary restraining order in a US District Court against Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two, developer Rockstar Games, FCI Williamsburg and “Grand Theft Auto” itself, claiming that the defendants “put me in prison.” 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.”[16]
Jonathan Lee Riches v. Michael Vick
U.S. Dist. Court E.D. Va. (July 23, 2007)
Give or Take a Billion Dollars. Michael Vick of Atlanta Falcon football fame, and more recently known for his alleged involvement in a dog fighting ring, has been named in a $63,000,000,000.00 lawsuit alleging the theft of some dogs.
The handwritten complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia, alleges, among other things, that Michael Vick stole two mixed pitbull dogs from the plaintiff, used the dogs in several dog fights, and then sold them on eBay and used the proceeds to buy missles from the Iranian government.
The rambling fantasy of a lawsuit furthers that Vick has sworn allegiance to al-Qaeda; has subjected the plaintiff to microwave testing; used drugs in a school zone; and is in the business of illegal steroids.
The plaintiff, who is serving time in Federal prison for wire fraud, prays for the judgment to be backed by gold and silver and delivered via UPS to the front gates of the prison.
** Jonathan Lee Riches has become a bit of an icon for filing bizzare and frivilous lawsuits. His masterpiece came in 2006 when he sued almost everyone under the sun — alive and dead, including George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Malcom X, George Orwell, Skittles (the candy), AccuWeather.com, and 57 pages of other defendants.
