Option 2 is not "Post on real user's account", option 2 is "create account, use" or "use on established test account".
He was wrong, period, to post to a user's page. 100% wrong, and has no right to ask for the money, because of that. Facebook's response is exactly the correct response - fix the miscommunication, but remain firm in the denial of money to someone who broke clear rules.

Isn't that against TOS? > "use on established test account" Where the instructions are in English, even after changing language? > He was wrong, period, to post to a user's page Mark Z. is not just any user. FB is publicly traded, yes, but he is basically Facebook. It's not like he 'hacked into' someone's account.
