Winklevoss twins lose Facebook fight
- petervandijck 16y agoDamn right.
- chopsueyar 16y agoPerhaps a malpractice lawsuit against Winklevi council is next?
- hung 16y agoWinklevoss lose; get 65m.
- MichaelApproved 16y agoNo, they haven't lost the fight with FB yet, though it looks really grim. They have the option to get an en banc hearing. Unlikely but still possible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_banc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_banc They can also appeal to the Supreme Court. Again, unlikely but still possible.
- robryan 16y agoWould they even get a better settlement this time round? Do they have legitimate claims on an gains Facebook has made since the last settlement?
- yzhengyu 16y agoThe story does not say whether their previous settlement with Facebook is still valid. Is it still valid?
- nikhilpandit 16y agoFrom what I understood (from this article and others that I read on the subject), the previous settlement is still valid.
- rglovejoy 16y agoBest quote: “Frankly, I am quite incredulous that they’re continuing to pursue the matter,” (Prof. Goldman) said. “I think they would be a lot happier and wealthier if they would take that money and invest it in their therapist.”
- veb 16y agoI, for one, probably wouldn't try to take on Facebook. They're pretty big and scary - especially that big Zuckerburg meanie :(
- daimyoyo 16y agoThe Winkelvi have made a career out of suing Facebook. They can't stop and they will take this case to the Supreme Court if they can. It's unfortunate, they should take the freaking money, but they won't it's not about the money for them. It's about the fact some middle class kid beat them and they can't let it go.
