Gawker Media has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and plans to put itself up for sale. The move comes after the online publisher recently lost a high-profile case in which it was ordered to pay $140 million to former wrestler Hulk Hogan over the publication of a sex tape. After the ruling, it emerged that billionaire investor Peter Thiel, an early backer of Facebook and a co-founder of PayPay had bankrolled Hogan's lawsuit. In 2007, Gawker published an article that outed him as gay. In March, a jury in Florida awarded $140 million to Hulk Hogan after Gawker published a video clip of the former wrestler having sex with the wife of his then-best friend, radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
