Facebook's other lawsuit
 

If there is any truth to the Ceglia lawsuit, Zuckerberg really only ever owned 50% of FB. Ceglia claims he had a contract with Zuckerberg and funded the seed money for FB which gave him a 50% stake in FB. FB claims the lawsuit is bogus but I can't see DLA Piper representing Ceglia unless there was some credibility to his claim. Maybe Ceglia has a few million lying around to burn on a lawsuit though.

surprised that isnt getting more major media attention

Agreed. I had not heard about it until a few days ago. The original lawsuit is over a year old. The amended one with DLA Piper representing Ceglia is a month old.

I have not read into this one. But when I read a few articles a while back, it seemed the most legit of all the lawsuits.

Not saying it works legally, but from an "instinct" perspective, it just sounds like it could be something that actually happened.

I hope Zuckerberg will lose, fucking fag thinks he own the word "book".

Represent anybody with money to burn.

Win, get praise for winning. Lose, blame it on the client.

i read the entire complaint and i think its a slam dunk for ceglia...

its going to be an expensive fight, but once again it proves what a scumbag zuckerberg is...





.

I'm thinking Ceglia does not have the money for a long drawn out fight with one of the biggest legal firms in the US representing him. If that is the case and they took it on a contingency basis they have to believe his case has merit.

After reading the complaint mark z will loose half of facebook and everything attached to it...wow

But, by recent estimates, he only owns 24% of FB.

Woah!!!!!!!!

A lot doesn't add up here and I can't help thinking that this guy Ceglia is withholding something from the story, like maybe acceptance of a repayment of settlement way back.

It is not logical that this guy's interest (if legitimate) wouldn't have come out during the earlier settled law suits.

haha wow

Looks like Zuckerberg thought the Winklevoss twins and Cegila were all just dumb goys.

What if facebook promoted porn for a week. Since he is going to loose 50% i bet he is going to loose all the good shit.

Farm ville, his wall, his friends etc.

They likely are, it's their attornies that would need to be brilliant and all that matters.

i read the complete complaint - wow - i know it's just one guy's side of it but what struck me, is that is sounds so plausible. remember Ciegla was dealing with a snot nosed spoiled brat, as soon as facebook launched and the response at Harvard was very good he suddenly wants to pay the guy his money back, completely lying to him, telling him that he might not do anything with the project - meanwhile he's meeting with angel investors who love the project. it sounds exactly what a spoiled brat would do in the situation.

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.

The complaint does pull you in and sure sounds plausible. If it is a fake Ceglia should be writing movie scripts or novels.

and then the rest would be history...

DLA Piper helpt us with a domain problem :)

that kid promised many stuff to funders on start :)

Zuckerberg is a douche.

the more and more that comes out it does look like it. Wonder how much of it is real and how much is a shakedown for money to be quiet.
