— Clark, while speaking to Daniel

Griffin, also known as Clark or Clark & Associates, was one of Daniel Larson's most notable managers. He is also a troll who was under the guise of being a lawyer for the VanderWaals.^[1]He is also the manager who has spent the most amount of time with Daniel, managing him for a whopping 10 months. Clark is now considered by many on the subreddit to be the next lolcow.

Clark is very controversial for actions such as fueling Daniel's dangerous delusions of being in contact with Grace VanderWaal and her family, getting his associates to role-play as Grace and other famous people across several discord servers, and on a lesser, somewhat funnier scale, convincing Daniel that he was attending classes at UCLA.^[2]^[3] He is also known for gatekeeping content of Daniel, leading Daniel into potentially dangerous situations where he had a meltdown in public spaces such as the Golden Hotel Incident and the Olive Garden Incident, financially enabling Daniel by supplying him with cash and gift cards, and being behind every call made to Daniel whilst he was in jail until the rise of Lil Sippy.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

Clark initially found Daniel during the Las Vegas Arc, to which he then "played the long game" until he managed to gain the title of Daniel's manager. His "firm's" name is watermarked on the Folsom County court hearing footage, as well as several other videos. Since then, Clark has been involved in many incidents, such as the Golden Hotel Incident and the Olive Garden Incident both wherein he convinced Daniel that he and Grace had bought a reservation at said establishment. When it was found there was not one, it ultimately resulted in Daniel causing damage to property inside the establishment and screaming profanities at the staff.

On December 17th, 2023, Clarks identity was revealed by one of Daniel's most prolific managers, Flexburger. Clark took part in an interview conducted by LarsonLeak,^[1] a channel Flexburger himself owns. Despite his identity being exposed, Clark still opted to manage Daniel, unlike many others who had quit after having their identities exposed.

However, on February 28th, 2024, Clark vanished from the Daniel Larson community and demanded for personally identifiable information about himself to be removed from his article from this very wiki so people could not track him. It was assumed that he officially cut ties with Daniel. However, this didn't last very long, as it was evident that Clark had not sunk his claws out of Daniel.

On May 1st, 2024, phone calls between Clark and Daniel surfaced, revealing that Daniel was arrested by the FBI. It wouldn't be until later on that Clark gave him a another call, revealing that none of what he'd been doing up to that point was legitimate, and that he was lying to Daniel. After this, Clark quit managing him, and considering how things had been going, it seemed Clark may have been the last ever manager of Daniel Larson. However, he reappeared in the Larsonverse in September after another jail call, and then was succeeded by Lil Sippy.

Clark has cemented himself as one of Daniel’s most controversial managers, as during the wake of the Second Jail Arc, he and other members of management were investigated by the FBI regarding threats Daniel had made.

Background

Prior to managing Daniel, Clark attended high school, and had a "had a decent thing going" after graduating. Though, it appears he lost his luck, as Clark would be expelled from his college. This was due to the evident drinking problem that Clark had, and him doing "stupid things" that aren't known. After attending rehab, Clark channeled his obsession with drinking into Daniel. Seeing as Daniel was ripe for exploitation in the lead up to his interactions with him, Clark obtained his number from an unknown individual and started to message him until he gained Daniel's trust.

After becoming Daniel's manager, Clark alleged that they spoke more than 10 hours a week, to a point where it was interfering with his work schedule and relationship with his parents.^[1] This got to the point where Clark was reprimanded at his job for speaking to Daniel so much, so much so that his parents caught Clark talking to Daniel on Thanksgiving. This is given the fact that due to Daniel's homelessness and lack of resources and a job, he has almost nothing to do all day but talk to people on the phone and post on social media. Clark also claims that he felt connected to Daniel, as they were both similar in a way. However, Clark claims that was this was only so people would feel bad for him.

Trolling

Manipulation

Clark and his associates mainly had conversations with Daniel in a Discord server, wherein they would roleplay as Daniel's delusions (most notably Grace VanderWaal) to gain Daniel's trust. These conversations came as far back as November of 2023 and can be found in the November 1st - November 13th DLTFM Logs. Clark was also one of many people who gaslit Daniel. Many of these gaslighting incidents led to Daniel having outbursts, such as The Golden Hotel Incident, in which Clark insisted Daniel had a reservation for a room when he did not.

UCLA Arc

Main article: UCLA Arc

Also known as the Second College Arc, Clark and a few trolls deceived Daniel that he had been accepted into University of California, Los Angeles. Clark had convinced Daniel that he was paying for his classes, which consisted of absurd and questionable topics (such as the first king of “Ancient Texas” being “Ishid Anfarded”). This deception only lasted for 11 days, ending when Daniel was arrested on February 3rd, 2024.

Relationships

Daniel

Main Article: Daniel Larson

Daniel and Clark's relationship can only be described as unhealthy. For the time Clark managed him, Daniel viewed Clark as his only friend, and in their final calls to each other, Daniel begged Clark to keep being "friends" with him, when they never had such a relationship. For 10 months, Clark (at least, according to him) spoke to Daniel for almost the whole day, and was the only person he had that wasn't Bob Proctor, or trolls trying to antagonize him.

"Retirement"

"Clark Out"

Looks like Clark Better Call Saul!

While he had “officially” retired from being Daniel’s management on March 1st, 2024, only to return in April 2024, Clark officially retired from being management in May 2024 following his arrest on April 30th.

Clark claimed to have been investigated by policemen that arrived to his place of work, showing a video of police scouting his workplace. From here on, Clark went radio silent especially to his management team which had led many to believe Clark was facing criminal charges for coercion and his involvement with Daniel. However, this was not the case as Clark revealed that while he was told by Secret Service agent Daniel MacDougall to not interfere with the investigation, he himself along with the rest of management would be investigated by law enforcement regarding certain statements he had made, which eventually brought him to justice. Clark claims that without him, Daniel would have never been brought to justice. Obviously, this is untrue.

While Daniel was in jail, they shared phone correspondence where Clark admit that everything he had done and told Daniel up to that point was a lie, and that he was ceasing contact with him permanently.

Following the release of Larsonleak's video, Clark would make a post on the subreddit defending his own actions before ending the post with "Clark out", a saying that has become popular within the subreddit associated with Clark. Clark would cement himself as a separate lolcow within the Daniel Larson community, with his role and his means of getting rid of Daniel being a subject of immense debate, with the community being split upon the morality and tactics of Clark's actions to get Daniel locked up.

While Clark has retired from management and the creation of content, he has still been loosely involved in giving content to the community. He returned after Daniel called him from jail in September 2024.

Reddit Fallout

Post-Retirement/Return to Service

Larsonleak would make a video in September 2024, where it was revealed that Clark and Daniel had continued contact, and does so to this day. With another individual, Lil Sippy, contacting Daniel, Clark and Sippy would fight over who gets to have the most contact.
