The avenging ghost of Peter Thiel (metaphorically speaking of course, Thiel is quite alive) continues to haunt Nick Denton, who two months after putting Gawker in bankruptcy after losing a sex tape lawsuit against Hulk Hogan, juts filed for personal bankruptcy protection.

The reason for the filing is that Denton is personally liable for a $125 million share of the $140 million Hulk Hogan sex tape judgment. The decision to file comes after a Florida appeals court earlier in the day denied Denton and former Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio’s latest request for an emergency stay while the company appeals the judgment.

As previously reported, Denton's attorneys had argued that a stay is warranted because Hogan's lawsuit and other litigation against Gawker is being funded by billionaire Peter Thiel, a critic and target of the online media company’s coverage of Silicon Valley.

“Gawker Media Group’s resilient brands and people will thrive under new ownership, when the sale closes in the next few weeks,” Denton said Monday on Twitter. “On this bitter day for me, I am consoled by the fact that my colleagues will soon be freed from this tech billionaire’s vendetta.” A representative for Hogan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In his filing, Denton lists assets of $10-$50 million and liabilities between $100 and $500 million.
