I've never been able to find anything definitive about Thiel and Ayyadurai. I did a longer search last year, but here are links I dug up just now. http://gizmod

That said, to my knowledge, Thiel has refused to publicly deny it. If SV had more scruples, he'd be forced to go on the record about it, because funding Ayyadurai would be indefensible.

It's definitive that Thiel put Harder on retainer with a mandate to find people interested in suing Gawker. When the Bollea case proved promising, that got further support. Regardless of whether Ayyadurai's cases got more support from Thiel, without Thiel Harder isn't there to do this in the first place.
