Marc Dreier didn't contest the charges against him: Last month, the disgraced lawyer pleaded guilty to swindling hundreds of millions from investors and he'll be sentenced for his crimes on July 13. His son, however, appears to be keeping up the fight. Spencer Dreier filed suit against his former Union College roommate last week. The reason? Spencer claims that his former pal, Ben Clorite (right), defamed him by posting negative comments about his dad on the Wall Street Journal's Law Blog and also assaulted him.

The suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, says Ben Clorite posted a comment to the blog in January that reported he had "personally heard [Spencer Dreier] performing acts that are illegal and direct obstructions to the case on his father." The younger Dreier also accuses Clorite of assaulting him three times and of engaging in a "campaign of verbal abuse and harassment" from October to January.

It looks like Spencer is keeping true to his word. Back in January—after allegedly trying to divert his dad's boat from returning to the U.S., trying to have someone destroy his father's cellphones, and attempting to take possession of his dad's homes in the Hamptons—Spencer vowed to take "revenge" against those trying to "destroy" his father.

Let's just hope that the firm planning to auction off Dreier's homes next month has hired a few security guards for the occasion.
