Lawsuit Record Holder Sues Guinness

JONATHAN Lee Riches, aka Irving Picard, aka The “Lawsuit Zeus,” also known as “Johnny Sue-nami”, has filed a lawsuit this week in US federal court “seeking an injunction to stop the Guinness Book of World Records from naming him as the person who has filed the most lawsuits in the history of mankind”.

Richards, a resident of the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky, puts it to the Richland office of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington that Guinness intends to publish false information about the number of lawsuits he has filed.

He claims the number to be more than 4,000 worldwide.

Ricahrds also objects to the names Guinness intends to call him, including:

“The litigator crusader,” the “duke of lawsuits,” “Johnny Sue-nami,” “Sue-per-man” and the “Patrick Ewing of suing.”

Says he:

“I’ve filed so many lawsuits with my pen and right hand that I got arthritis in my fingers, numbness in my wrists, crooked fingers. I flush out more lawsuits than a sewer.”

The swwer has yet to sue…
