Gawker-Killer Peter Thiel Ends Bid to Buy Gawker in Truce

New York Post: Peter Thiel is withdrawing his bid to buy shuttered Gawker.com — a move that is expected to clear the way for a new suitor who may revive the gossip site. In exchange for Thiel withdrawing his bid, lawyers for Gawker will drop an investigation into the investor’s funding of wrestler Hulk Hogan’s sex-tape lawsuit against Gawker.
