An online critic facing a $100 million lawsuit filed by a Denton attorney claiming the critic got him fired from a law firm after labeling him a “Nazi” has asked a federal judge to require the attorney to pay the court $150,000 in security before pursuing the litigation any further.

Jason Van Dyke is representing himself in the defamation suit he originally filed last March 28 in a Denton County state court seeking huge damages against Thomas Christopher Retzlaff, who the lawyer claims got him fired from a Plano law firm after accusing him in internet postings on a website, “BV Files. of being both a “Nazi” and a “white supremacist.”
