Darl McBride. It's the guy everybody hates. Well, he is no longer in charge of SCO, the UNIX vendor who relentlessly litigated against Linux vendors: he has been fired as part of the Chapter 11 restructuring plans for the company. Sadly, the litigation does not end with him, as SCO's new leadership has said in a statement they will continue the litigation.

Not necessarily... the SCO case has mostly been characterised by just a few lawsuits, but ones which have just gone on and on, constant delays and endless appeals. It's certainly been a ridiculous affair, but I don't think it's not all that good a match for the concept you're talking about.
"Vexatious Litigant" orders usually apply to individuals who initiate suits over trivia, get shot down quickly in court, and then go and start a new one. Not so much to this kind of war of endless appeal.
