In an update to our earlier story, it appears the Winklevoss twins will just not quit in their quest to make more money from Facebook.
Despite killing their Supreme Court appeal yesterday, the twins and partner Divya Narendra have launched a new motion today, one that asks the court to figure out whether Zuckerberg and Facebook "intentionally or inadvertently suppressed evidence" in the ... [ read the full article ]

I'd say they'll end up thrown out of court.

Great way to spend 300 million, paying off the lawyer fees. Way to go Winklewuss.

Take the money and run. Proof that all Harvard grads aren't all that intelligent. Keep paying them lawyers and see where it gets you. Rich but less rich.

I agree that they should drop this silliness, but they can't take the money and run...if they tried to, the stock value would evaporate before they could sell 10% of their shares.

Of course not run, it's a very true point. But keep the hell away from the courts now, you got more than most people will ever see in their lifetime and is enough to feed several generations.
This is just greed of rich people who can't stand not getting their own way, yet suffers from a mindset in which they don't think to use their human intelligence to get them more money. What's worse, they've got more opportunity to start up then most, with Harvard stamped on their record of achievement and money to fund their ideas, and very likely good contacts too.
What d***s. One day I hope to have a successful business and be seeing a small fraction of this sort of money at the very least, but my kids will never be brought up like these two dummies obviously have and they'll know what work is.
If these were my sons I'd be publicly shaming them right now.

Facebook is expected to have an IPO soon with an expected valuation of $100 billion. So on that day or early the next sell your stocks, take your money and run

Remember guys, their dad is a partner at a big law firm, no lawyer fees to be paid. Some court fees I'm sure, but insignificant.

I hate Zuckerberg and he's a total incompetent shmuck being advised on everything other than the technical aspects. He young, dumb and edited by ddp. He's patronizing, arrogant and just a edited by ddp. You can tell he doens't tell the truth when he's being interviewed and I GUARANTEE that he's stepped on these guys' toes. He is no different than Bill Gates regarding DOS in that he "contributed" to the FB creation and ran away with it.
In addition to that, he has violated and compromised users' security by allowing anyone to view anything, not prompted people or given them an EASY means of correcting and the website all-in-all is a total clusterf*ck of nonsensical information with no "flow" or cohesion.
I use FB once a month at best and work with a bunch of losers that can't peel themselves away for even one day. Those that are actually glued to FB in order to see what their "hoarded friends" are doing are just losers and moreover..........those that have hundreds upon hundreds of friends and befriend anyone just because they requested clearly need to feel better about themselves.

Frankly, these 2 morons have enough to buy god & their still whining. The judge has already thrown the case out and mandated that they settle. Whomever puts their stamp of approval at the front office for this thing to heard for another court date is going to get their keister fired so fast there's going to be a smell of smoke and ass out the front door.
If the shutting down of this case by the first judge isn't an indicator of our judicial system being tired of the Legal Lottery I don't know what is.

These twins are stressing so much over their stupidity at Harvard that they're going to stroke out. I wouldn't be upset about it either, two less rich a**holes on the planet sucking up oxygen.
