We, and at least a small fraction of the rest of the world, got all excited in April when a wood pellet businessman from upstate New York made a plausible-sounding claim to 50% of Facebook, based on very early contract work for Mark Zuckerberg.
Well Facebook has just seriously de-friended Mr. Paul Ceglia and his now apparently bogus suit. Facebook’s investigators have uncovered evidence that not only is Mr. Ceglia a repeat con-artist cliche (he's been selling unbuildable land in, yes, Florida), but his email “evidence” is likely faked.
