I was thinking more of the Winklevii. Basically, people that play a small role early on then leave (or jettisoned) only to come back claiming they were the idea/backbone/major contributor. I totally agree Glass got screwed. Many years ago I wrote the code for an online store. I outsourced the payment processing and photo upload functions. If the store somehow managed to grow to Amazon size who knows what those 2 developers would say. To me, they played a very small, but essential, role.

I see. Did you pay the outsourced coders fairly? I'm sure they would say something but to me that is different from the Winklevii. I do think because FB was able to explode so much and Zuckerberg did mislead them a bit, them receiving what they did, $60M in stock (though now it would be much higher) and some cash seems fair. Obviously they barely did anything for FB and they wouldn't have likely made any big website on their own. But because of Zuckerberg's actions and because FB did become as big as it did, I find what they ended up getting to be fair. Do you not think so? But hah originally I thought you were including Noah Glass in your assessment and was either going to inquire about why because his story is so incredibly sad to me.
