I'd say they already are. They've made a career out of suing Facebook, and a lucrative one at that. Its not great smalltalk when "what do you do?" comes up at cocktail parties, but they could always use their facebook money to throw their own party... I don't think they are actually that involved. I'm guessing their army of lawyers are constantly thinking up ways to try to get more money beating this particular dead horse and the twins are just giving the nod. $65m already, why not?

Yes, I think this is it. They have few fixed legal costs since their lawyers likely will be paid out of winnings, the potential gain is enormous, and their reputation has already been made so there's little to lose socially and they might increase their prestige if they win more control, which is possible. I do not care for them but they would need to practice an increasingly rare business philosophy to find the strength to turn down this opportunity for more money and prestige.
