South Carolina Inmate Hits Michael Vick With '$63,000,000,000 Billion Dollar' Lawsuit Alleging Al Qaeda Ties

Embattled NFL quarterback Michael Vick, facing federal charges related to his alleged participation in dogfighting, has been hit with a "$63,000,000,000 billion dollar" lawsuit filed by a South Carolina inmate who alleges the Atlanta Falcons star stole his pit bulls and sold them on eBay to buy "missiles from Iran," FOX News has learned.

Jonathan Lee Riches filed the handwritten complaint over "theft and abuse of my animals" on July 23 in the U.S. District Court in Richmond, Va.

Riches alleges that Vick stole two white mixed pit bull dogs from his home in Holiday, Fla., and used them for dogfighting operations in Richmond, Va. The complaint goes on to allege that Vick sold the dogs on eBay and “used the proceeds to purchase missiles from the Iran government.”

The complaint also alleges that Vick would need those missiles because he pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda in February of this year.

“Michael Vick has to stop physically hurting my feelings and dashing my hopes,” Riches writes in the complaint.

Riches wants $63 billion dollars “backed by gold and silver “ delivered to the front gates to the Williamsburg Federal Correctional facility in South Carolina. Riches is an inmate at the facility serving out a wire fraud conviction.

FOXNews.com attempted to contact Vick, but neither he nor his spokesman could be reached for comment.

Vick's attorneys, meanwhile, are negotiating a plea deal with federal prosecutors before new dogfighting charges are filed next week, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

No plea agreement involving Atlanta Falcons quarterback Vick has been filed, according to the court clerk, FOX News has learned.

Vick was accused of being involved in a dogfighting ring called "Bad Newz Kennels" run on property he owned in Surry County, Va. In late July, Vick pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities, and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture in a Richmond, Va., court.

Vick could reach an agreement ahead of new charges expected to come down next week after two more of Vick's three co-defendants prepare to enter guilty pleas later this week. By reaching a plea agreement, Vick could avoid any additional charges.

Is their a lawyer in existance who would in their right mind take this case?

In all honesty, aside from the lawsuit, I don't understand his charges.

He was dogfighting. I understand that's animal abuse and all, but people are acting as though he's up for murder. Is dogfighting really considered to be that major of a crime? I'd assume it would be something like a fine and a year in jail.

3 Years and $250,000 is the max for dogfighting if the feds have jurisdiction. There was a law passed a few months ago to that effect.

It is more that it is a HUGE name in the NFL that is grabbing all of the attention. Alot of people want him strung up for other than strictly the reasons brought up against him. Some are simply sports related. Some just do not like him and want to see Atlanta flounder this year (myself included) but that does not mean I want to see him destroyed. He should defineately serve a little time for dog fighting but I think being a a major role model to NFL fans and youth he needs to be kicked out of the NFL because this is the kind of thing that we do not need the youth seeing of role models.

[PhilDernerJr]

I never heard of him before this.
