The Guy Who Says He Owns 50% Of Facebook Just Filed A Boatload Of New Evidence And It's Breathtaking
LOL, and that's the real title of the article! Link: The Guy Who Says He Owns 50% Of Facebook Just Filed A Boatload Of New Evidence -- And It's Breathtaking

I'm not even going to bother posting excerpts. If you're interested in the story you're going to click. If not, you're not.

But if you are curious what all the hubub is about, it's worth your time because wow-wee, either somebody is going to go to jail bigtime or somebody is going to be losing hundreds of millions (at least!). The major international law firm DLA Piper has thrown in with Paul Ceglia after weeks of analysis on his purported evidence.

Someone is going to be eating it big time. Zuckerberg or Ceglia/DLA Piper.

Skip down to the section titled "THE EMAILS" (it's the first bolded section in the very long piece- which also includes the e-mails).

Wow.

I normally could not give a shit about stories like this but I figured I'd tip-toe into this latest twist in the story and wound up neck-deep.

Wow.

PB

19. I love Gawker. My knowledge is mainly limited to The Social Network, but I loved it when he had to
pay his best friend (Eduardo) -- the guy he screwed over for his irritating little business.

9. Sounds to me like Zuckerman will have to pay up. Very interesting!
I am on facebook a lot. He owes Ceglia a lot of money.

15. Haha, hardly "evidence"
The guy has been convicted of previous fraud and the only "evidence" is text of supposed emails.

Love how everyone here automatically gets to jump on the anti-zuckerberg bandwagon, but I'm 99% certain this guy and his story are bs.
