Those greedy, seemingly quite stubborn Winklevoss twins (portrayed by the handsome and strapping Armie Hammer in The Social Network), have finally decided to throw in the towel and stop trying to undo the settlement they reached with Facebook back in 2008, which was then worth $65 million. Turns out, as CBS reports, the $45 million in stock that was offered in that settlement would now be worth $100 million, so the poor dears have chosen not to take their fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
The 9th Circuit had already ruled against the twins in May, and yesterday they filed a one-paragraph statement with the court saying they would accept the 2008 settlement.
The original settlement also included $20 million in cash. So basically, without even getting the court to rule in their favor, they're still walking away $120 million richer.
