Rasheed saeed Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Well this morning on the way to school, I had my radio on(as usual) listening to the news. News came up that Tyler & Cameron Howard Winklevoss were not yet done suing Facebook. I never got much information out of it, but claims are that they are wanting atleast 4 times much more money than the last approach in court(Being the total of $140M to $560M Dollars). I really don't know much on this case and BCC wont work for me, so question on this. Should they be allowed to continue this court case, or have Facebook made the agreement? Quote
The Spirit Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 There looking for more money as they feel when they made the agreement Facebook was valued incorectly. I dont think they'll get very far with this, companies valued go up and down all the time. Quote
Jordan Palmer Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I highly doubt they'll get far. Read the full story Facebook story Quote
Paul Evans Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I thought they settled on 55 mill (USD) im sure it said that at the end of the social network, also wonder how much his mate he screwed over got... be surprised if it wasn't like 20 dollars :D Quote
Jordan Palmer Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 They did settle for a fee, However now are trying to claim more. Quote
Jordan Palmer Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I can't blame them, Mark is the youngest billionaire and he's only paid the actual guys behind it a few million... It's alot but he's a BILLIONAIRE.. Quote
Paul Evans Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 He's got like 9 billion GBP... Not really that rich... lol Quote
Djkanna Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 He's got like 9 billion GBP... Not really that rich... lol It's a lot richer than most billionaires that actually worked to get their fortune :P Quote
Paul Evans Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I actually like him and i would totally do what he did :) Quote
Jordan Palmer Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 He's got like 9 billion GBP... Not really that rich... lolOkay so I stole Crimgames idea, Then make 9BILL and offer you 55MILL.. would you be happy? ;) Quote
Paul Evans Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I'm not stupid enough to tell someone my ideas but im sure if i did they would steal 'em... unless a contact is signed, they deserved to be ripped. Quote
rulerofzu Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Jordan you can steal my idea and pay me 55mil ill be more than happy 8o Quote
Danny696 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Think about it, you should be a multi billionare, you get 55 mill, i wouldnt be happy. Quote
Paul Evans Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Considering they are already billionaire via their father i think they are asking for too much why not just spend the 55 million he gave you on a rival website invent new ideas and crunch him (i would) if they came up with the facebook idea im sure they could come up with something else. Quote
Jordan Palmer Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Yet someone else made billions from THERE idea, regardless of how much there FATHER has they have the right not to be happy about it Quote
Paul Evans Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Actually the idea for a social website for harvard members was their idea he basically put in all the rest himself (relationship status and so on). Well really you gotta be more worried about him stealing the entire universities emails and sending his link which then kicked off the original thefacebook website. He then expanded to other colleges (but think about it how does he expand... steal the emails and email them) and from their he gets 15 billion members... Word of mouth is better than any advertisement scam... If they did start up a social networking website it would most likely get a load of media coverage they would make so much money immediately so i don't see their issues. If people actually prefer them over mark then they will ditch FB for their social network. You can't make 9 billion pounds without making afew enemies along the way. Personally i don't care a hell about them but his mate who paid the hosting and everything really got screwed over he really deserves people crying about it. Personally i would do what Mark did in a heart beat without even considering some newbs on a website hating me for it lol im sure he got a shit load of money from 'The social network' movie also. (im sure the two millionaires who he ripped did also) which i bet sparked off the new law suit. Quote
