Surely this won't go through. America is insane with its litigation.

Interesting...

It's possible he has a legitamate claim, but in this day and age there's higher chance than not that he simply did some coding work and got creative with a contract.

I for one think it would be kind of funny if this guy actually ended up owning 84% of Facebook...

 

[Supertrek32]

And he hasn't filed a claim until now? I find that rather fishy...

 

[burrellbuzzman]

I suppose this put a spanner in the works for the facebook movie...

 

[mikewong]

yeah, yeah... Why not own THG BTW?

 

[Pyroflea]

I would just laugh so hard if he somehow won this lawsuit. He has my support, that's for sure

More importantly, New York has a 6-year limit on such claims, not 7. Whoops...

Also, google this guy. He was sued by the NY Attorney General for deceptive business practices a while back.

Not the best character reference when trying to litigate.

I sick of Zuckerberg and his behaviour so I hope that guy wins ,although very unlikely.

why would someone give 1 percent of the company for every day it takes to finish a job? what was the incentive for cegli to work quickly? If he was smart, then he would have dragged it out to 50 days and become 100% owner.

no one would give away the majority share of their company for $1000 and a web site design.

Nice troll.

The inventors of HTML invented ALL of it...

lmfao if i was mark, i'd sell all the assets and close down facebook.

in your face weird guy!

 

[jednx01]

If this is true, this guy is about to get freaking rich. haha

 

[viperburkh]

Mark can't sell anything. Ceglia was granted a restraining order preventing the selling or reassigning of any Facebook assets, stocks, bonds that are possessed or owned by Mark until after the court date.

 

[maigo]

He didn't think to do this until NOW?

...And I own 70% of Microsoft...
This guy is a hack. If he was owed something through a legitimate contract, he would have gone after his money/capital years ago. It's worth investigating if it's true buy I highly doubt he's going to get anything out of it.
