Seems pretty dismiss-able to me...
1) The guy said it took so long for him to come forward because he "forgot" about the contract/emails.
2) Selling 50% of the company for $2k seems like an odd move... I don't know my facebook history perfectly, but didn't Zuck have a business partner with a lot of money already?
3) The guy has a history of fraud convictions.
- sunchild 15y agoDoesn't change the fact that it's a colorable claim. It doesn't look to me like any of the defenses you list would lead to summary judgment based on the facts.
- mattdeboard 15y agoBeing convicted of a felony does not make you forever an untrustworthy lout, nor a compulsive, criminal liar. It means you committed a crime once and were prosecuted for it.
- afterburner 15y agoIf the conviction is for fraud, and it seems like the current case might be fraud, then it's a little more relevant.
- webwright 15y agoThat's what we call a "straw man argument"-- I never claimed otherwise. I offered it up as a data point (among several) that caused people to dismiss the claim. Statistically speaking, I imagine people who've been convicted of fraud are liklier to commit fraud than those who haven't been.
