What?! lol, Dave Basil - do you know him? He’s from Wellsville!

“A Western New York man who claims he owns 84 percent of Facebook Inc., the world’s biggest social networking service, sued and won a state court order temporarily restricting Facebook from transferring assets.”

if there is any meat to this at all it will throw the world off balance i think…

all of a sudden the GDP of Wellsville just quadrupled?

ownEs

wellsville. ha. what a scumbag town…

Facebook was basically non-existent in 03 but I wouldn’t be shocked if he got a few bucks to make this go away. No chance he gets 84% though

yeah he’ll get paid off to go away… 8 figure payday pending

massive repost.

so some retard from Wellsville with a shady legal past is suing a Multi-Billion dollar company? This will go well.

Merged.

He recently sold $200,000 worth of stove pellets and didn’t deliver them to the people who bought them… needless to say he got in trouble for that and will surely not get far with this either.

So here is what I was told:

Paul hired the facebook guy to build him a website called “facefacts” that was very similar to facebook for $1000 and they would both own the site 50/50. For every day this website was late after the date it was supposed to be up Paul would own another 1%… it was 34 days late and therefore he says he owns 84%. I guess Paul and the facebook guy split up somehow after this “facefacts” site was created and the facebook guy copied the site to create facebook.

I hate to say because my opinion of Paul is not very good but he may have something with this lawsuit.

Damn. We’ll see.

Huh??? Most of RIT has been members of it since EARLY 2003, I was on it when I still lived in the dorms and that was only May 2003

Here we go again.

October 13th is the next court apperance by Zuckerberg in Buffalo.

Im kinda pulling for this guy

interesting to say the least… wonder how much truth there is behind it? if so… i hope he wins his fair share.

afterall… a contract is a contract.

It would be epic if he won the 84% stake and then just shut it down. Some of my facebook addict friends who feel the need to share every meal, cd selection and bowel movement would probably kill themselves if they didn’t have an outlet to share every mundane detail of their lives.

Sketchy. Where was the guy before Zuckerberg became the youngest billionaire on the planet? Coming up with an idea is one thing, building an idea into what Facebook became is another…

But then how would Obama get re-elected? Or how would people become a fan of a charity’s facebook page so that they can feel like they’ve taken action in support of a good cause without actually taking action in support of a good cause?

you have NO idea how hard i just laughed out loud Fry…

Interesting, i’m intrigued by how this may turn out. Clearly still a money hungry douche though.

As much as I hate Zuckerberg and his quest to control all the information and own it (on top of how shady he is in general), in 2003 he said he coded something that was for the site. If he did the small part and vanished, where was he this whole time in the grown of the site. Why didnt he go after the poor college boy Zuckerberg.
