Does anyone know why they have not decided to focus their energy elsewhere? Why go to the effort to double, triple, or whatever their stake in Facebook when they could cash out and attempt to create wealth else where? I bet there are a number of entrepreneurs who would love to take angel investments from the Winklevosses, regardless of the twin's track record.
Furthermore, they would have much more fulfilling lives if they took the money they have and invested in/ created something new... at least they would have a chance to intellectually participate in the start up environment.

- masonhensley 16y ago"Would you hire them? Work with them? Work for them?" - Probably not, maybe, No. They can change how people view them moving forward, but for some odd reason, they keep digging a deep and deeper hole for their reputation.
- rudiger 16y agoThey have two very good (not odd) reasons: millions of dollars, and justice.
- rudiger 16y agoPursuing Facebook is more lucrative than anything else they could be doing right now. They have a great chance at netting hundreds of millions of dollars. What startup investment has an expected value anywhere near that? (answer: None.)
