[1] In May 2000, Judge Lefkow presided over the enforcement of a high-profile trademark infringement case against the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC), an organization run by white supremacist leader Matthew F. Hale.

In response to this decision, Hale sued Lefkow on December 24, claiming that her order violated the Constitution in requiring the "destruction" of the group's bibles.

[3] At around the same time, threats were made against Lefkow on the Internet, and her home address, and family photographs of her husband and children, were posted on the Stormfront website.

The FBI informant in that trial received several death threats, and Lefkow initially was protected by a detail of the United States Marshals Service.

[6] On April 24, Judge Lefkow ruled that the Creativity Movement had failed to stop using the name "World Church of the Creator," and should be fined $1,000 a day until it complied.

A subsequent application to void them, on grounds including ineffective assistance of counsel, was rejected, and his appeal from that decision was affirmed on March 5, 2013.

According to an anonymous federal source, both Michael Francis Lefkow, 64, and Donna Grace Glenn Humphrey, 89, had been shot multiple times.

As West Allis police officer Rick Orlowski approached the vehicle, the driver, identified as 57-year-old Polish electrician Bart Allen Ross (born Bartilomiej Ciszewski), shot and killed himself.

These completely cured his cancer, but left him massively disfigured, in constant pain, financially wiped out with deep debt, and living in his van.

His attempts to sue the medical system may have been intended to jump-start the remainder of his life, but with no actual case of wrongdoing, they were inevitably dismissed.
