Paul Ceglia emerged from the ethers last summer with a lawsuit targeted at Facebook, claiming that he owned 84% of the social network.
According to court documents, Ceglia claims he signed a contract with Facebook in April 2003 to design and develop thefacebook.com (Facebook's original name).
Ceglia says he was to be awarded a $1,000 fee and a 50% stake in Facebook for services rendered, with a further 1% stake for each day until the site was finished, which was on February 4, 2004. Add it all up, and Ceglia claims he should be the owner of 84% of Facebook.
We haven’t heard much from Ceglia in the ensuing months, but now he’s back, and, according to Business Insider, with a slew of what Ceglia says are emails between him and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, as well as a new and much more powerful law firm, DLA Piper.
Naturally, the folks at NMA.TV had to provide their own take on the matter. It includes a pirat e ship, lawsuit/bird hybrids and Mark Zuckerberg urinating on legal documents.
Yup, all this looks about right.
