It appears Take-Two Interactive's woes have only just begun. Apparently Jack Thompson is now attempting to influence Edward Johnson, chairman of Fidelity Investment (which, FYI, owns more than 20% of Take-Two) - that is, if this letter he supposedly sent Johnson is for real.

In his purported letter, Thompson reveals his knowledge of information concerning Take-Two - stuff that he claims even Fidelity doesn't know - and says that someone at Fidelity urgently needs to talk to him as soon as possible.

Take a gander at the letter and tell us what you think.

July 13, 2006

Edward C. Johnson, III
Chairman
Fidelity Investments (FMR)

Re: Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (TTWO on NASDAQ)

Dear Mr. Johnson:

As you know, Fidelity reportedly owns more than 20% of the above company's stock. In one year that stock has fallen in value from $28 to $9, primarily because of the "Hot Coffee" scandal which broke because of Senator Hillary Clinton's July 2005 press conference. I prepared Senator Clinton for that news conference, and here is a graphic depiction of the subsequent stock price tumble:

I was on CBS's 60 Minutes twice last year regarding Take-Two, and the August 2005 issue of Reader's Digest reported my efforts against this company. They didn't report a tenth of what I know.

Mr. Johnson, I know some facts about Take-Two that your company apparently does not know. The latest SEC investigation of Take-Two, announced Monday, comes as no surprise to me. It may come as a surprise to you and your analysts, however, that there may be some very significant problems with certain information in Take-Two's 10-K filed with the SEC months ago. I identified those potential problems immediately and shared them with the SEC. I also shared them with the lawyers who are seeking class action status for shareholders suing Take-Two.

One of the potential problems we have here (more accurately, that Fidelity has here, in my opinion) is the fact that the outside general counsel to Take-Two is the Philadelphia law firm of Blank Rome, which is also Take-Two's registered lobbyist on Capitol Hill. What I can tell you about Blank Rome and other aspects of Take-Two's problems might help explain why Take-Two's audit chair, Barbara Kaczynski, quit the Take-Two board, hired a top-notch criminal attorney, and wrote the SEC about Take-Two's alleged cover-up by senior management.

In short, without herein divulging all I know, I'll say this: Somebody at Fidelity needs to talk to me immediately if not sooner. You all owe that to your investors.

Regards, Jack Thompson

Jack Thompson, Attorney

OMG why hasn't these companies went after Thompson? There's nothing nor anybody can do to influence what games we play. My parents don't care what I play and if they don't care, I don't care, then neither should our shitty government. I control what I wanna play, not people like Thompson. He acts like sex and violence in a video game is bad. God people that's happening on our streets now! Sex and violence is everywhere now. Hell even on MTV. Who doesn't watch MTV?

yeah like jack thompson never have watched an action movie with VIOLENCE or an erotic movie that contains SEX.
some thing got to be wrong in that guys head
hopefully i´m not getting banned because of this post

[ChainGangSoldier4Life]

Haha your post can't be sny worse than mine. This dude probably doesn't even watch porn. He's like "Even though I'm legally able to watch it, I don't because it will warp my mind into killing people and spraying graffiti on walls!" Personally I spent my half an hour putting in the hot coffee cheats and to tell you, on the PS2 version there is nuthin special. I mean my god Thompson thinks we've never seen porn before. The internet is a highway to porn and violence and he attacks video games instead lol.

[chris82]

Jack Thompson just won't quit. He thinks that kids copying video game violence is something to be afriad of. Well, there are plenty of real things to be scared of, such as AIDS (and not getting treated for it), being raped, getting fired, falling, and other things that you actually need an attorney for.

[LCS ZOMBIE]

i would like to punnch him, in the balls. What a dumbfuck.

Ok let's turn this topic around! If you were 18 and saw Jack Thompson walking past you alone, what would you do to the ugly scum? I would walk up, slap the taste buds right out of his mouth and say WTF is your problem with video games? Then I would take copies of San Adnreas Version 1 with the hot coffee, and I would attach it somehow to a type of air gun and shoot discs at him! Then I'd fart in his face while he's down and walk away lol

Lol he will sue you and say the video games are messing with your head.

There's most likely a majority investor within the company who can sort most of this out. Anyone who is invested in Take-Two and perhaps likely to sue Rockstar is probably absolutly the WORST idea possible. Many investors have millions in T2, and to sue the company through "hot coffee" and probably win, the book value of the company would fall, sharply! So those mega bucks they put into the corporation would loose so much in value and strength.

[ChainGangSoldier4Life]

haha yeah you got a point there. Hey I wouldn't care. I'd rather be in a prison with a dead Jack Thompson than be in prison with an alive Jack Thompson. And watch out. He might try to sue you saying you were brainwashed to talk to him by video games lol

[DudeL.P.]

If people were copying video-games then he would get sniped cause:
1.The gamer/sniper would kill him because he is copying a game.
2.Why Jack getting whacked? Because the stupid tard lawyer would sue the gamer/sniper's ass!
