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.

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.
