Trivia: Saverin still owns 2% of Facebook. He’s currently the richest Brazilian (and of Singapore, where he lives), according to multiple sources. Now _that_ is how you ride off into the sunset!
- FirmwareBurner 1y ago>Trivia: Saverin still owns 2% of Facebook. It also helps that he was financially well off before Facebook too and could afford top lawyers. I imagine things would have gone differently if he were some broke immigrant kid on a visa, getting buried by Zuck's lawyers. Justice may be blind, but it's definitely not free.
- brettgriffin 1y agoWhat is the point of this hypothetical? Why do we care about the outcome of a situation that you conjured up that wasn't reality? Is the insight here that people with resources have advantages?
- herval 1y agoHe wouldn’t even be in Zuckerberg’s circle if his family wasn’t wealthy to begin with. Life isn’t fair, who could’ve guessed that?
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoTrue, the reason Zuck wen to to him is because he was wealthy(and part of the same Jewish fraternity).
- bko 1y agoIt helps to be knowledgeable about this stuff. But since so much was at stake, couldn't you find a lawyer that would work on some kind of contingency?
