the emails if they're real tell the whole story - Ciegla was definitely a partner in any 'facebook' project.

i never saw the movie Social Network - i hear this guy was included, as a guy who did nothing and got paid off a few mil. It doesn't matter what he did, the deal wasn't based on anything more than Ciegla fronting Zuckerberg money to get the project launched, which he did.
