Crazy, for lack of a better word, is good

Hey, remember Jonathan Lee Riches, everyone's favorite pro se litigant, who went on a tear filing a ton of ridiculously awesome lawsuits from within his jail cell? Well he's back, baby! It seems that he's now doing business as a famous movie character, as he's now listing himself as "Jonathan Lee Riches d/b/a Gordon Gekko." Not sure what that's all about, but in this lawsuit, Mr. Riches/Gekko and a bunch of others are suing Blizzard, the makers of the World of Warcraft video game. Riches/Gekko claims the game caused them "to commit federal crimes." In fact, the game "caused Riches mind to live in a virtual universe, where Riches explored the landscape committing identity theft and fighting cybermonsterrivalhackergangs."

Awesome.
