Brightbridge Wealth Management Headlines:Facebook Lawsuit Is A ‘Fraud’

A Facebook lawsuit is being deemed “a brazen and outrageous fraud” by Facebook’s founders. Paul Ceglia claims that an eight-year-old contract signed by founder Mark Zuckerberg entitles him to 50 percent ownership of of the company.
Zuckerberg did admit that he dealt with Ceglia back in 2003, but all he did was sign a contract to work with Ceglia on StreetFax.com. Ceglia was starting the company at the time and Zuckerberg had answered an online job posting.
Facebook and Zuckerberg deny the allegations of the lawsuit. They claim Ceglia doctored a contract and fabricated e-mails.
Zuckerberg started working on Facebook seven months after signing a contract with Ceglia. Facebook first launched under the name “thefacebook.com” in February 2004.
“At no time did Zuckerberg enter into any agreement, written or otherwise, with Plaintiff or anyone affiliated with Plaintiff concerning Facebook or any similar social networking service or web site,” the company said in a statement reported by CNN.

Facebook is now valued at $55 billion, according to Sharepost.com and Bloomberg News. It is the world’s biggest social-networking website.
The website has called Ceglia “an inveterate scam artist whose misconduct extends across decades and borders.” It is questioning why Ceglia waited seven years to file the action, when it is now one of the world’s best known companies, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Facebook is asking the court to dismiss the complaint and force Ceglia to pay for its attorney fees.
