A federal bankruptcy court in Florida has dismissed Chapter 11 proceedings started by the company that owns the conservative blog The Gateway Pundit. The move opens the publication up to liability from several lawsuits filed by allegedly defamed Georgia election workers and a former employee of an election software company.

On Thursday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mindy A. Mora put the kibosh on efforts by TGP Communications, LLC to shield itself from creditors via corporate debt restructuring. The court’s move came relatively quickly – the abortive bankruptcy process lasted a mere three months.

The company, which is wholly owned by the blog’s founder, Jim Hoft, did not file for bankruptcy protections in good faith, the court found. Rather, the judge found, based on Hoft’s own testimony at a recent hearing, “TGP filed bankruptcy purely as a litigation strategy.”
