Jack Thompson claims Take Two at the center of vast RICO conspiracy!

Just when I thought the crazy couldn't get any crazier, Jack Thompson steps in to prove me wrong! Game Politics reports that Thompson is alleging Take Two is, among other things, a bunch of "thuggish pornographers" and in a vast conspiracy to deprive Thompson of his civil liberties:

Take-Two has, since July 2005, been at the center of an effort to violate Thompson’s civil and constitutional rights… In addition to… extortion (intimidation) of Thompson… Take-Two has committed other predicate RICO acts, including but not limited to fraud, distribution of obscene and/or sexual material harmful to minors…

Additionally… Take-Two, through its Blank Rome lawyers, sought in Alabama to tamper with a witness in a pending criminal case, according to that witness’ lawyer.


This man just makes my brain hurt. His crusade against the gaming industry has been bizarre enough, but alleging that Take Two and some third parties like Game Politics, Kotaku, Joystiq, et al. have“collaborated and conspired with third parties to commit these racketeering activities” is moving into a whole different territory: paranoid delusions and conspiracy theories.
