Paul Ceglia Files New Evidence In Claim He Owns 50% Of Facebook

We have no idea whether Ceglia's claims are credible <i>(I'm minded he is a convicted felon for fraud)</i>. And Henry Blodget's tabloid approach to journalism/blogging means he'll cream himself over a story like this.<p>But one thing that sticks out for me is that highly respected law firm DLA Piper are representing Ceglia. They are obviously expensive and high end - they can only be representing him in return for a %age of any settlement from this. My point is they wouldn't be doing this - including risking their reputation either way this goes - if they didn't feel the evidence was compelling.

This is amazing.<p>1. Ceglia appears to be the first to recommend they really drop the 'the' from the title.<p>2. The emails make it sound like MZ is a hired hand in the creation of the site where he is demanding to be paid for working on it.<p>3. It reveals that he simply had no business savvy - but when he knew the idea was gold he hung on to it tooth and nail.<p>4. it reveals that he may in fact have been working on FB prior to the twins offer - but that he used the twins as social proof and, as I mentioned in another post, agreed to help them build the other site in order to stall them/prevent them from materially developing.<p>5. there is, seemingly, no way the others in his circle couldn't have known about this; dustin, edwardo, etc... if this were criminal, could they too be culpable?<p>Wow.
