Just yesterday, we reported that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss cut their losses and decided to accept the settlement they reached with Facebook in 2008 now worth about $120 million. The two made a court filing on Wednesday, after a failed appeal to the 9th Circuit. Oh, but it's not over.
The hyper-competitive twins clearly think they have a better shot in the First Circuit, should it come to that, and they just filed a status report in Massachusetts District Court yesterday, essentially with the same complaint, but legally somehow distinct? The twins and their business partner, Divya Narendra, now want to move the court for discovery on whether Facebook "intentionally or inadvertently suppressed evidence" during their settlement proceedings with Zuckerberg, regarding their claims that he stole their idea.
Facebook's attorney, naturally, says, "These are old and baseless allegations that have been considered and rejected previously by the courts."
