Mark Zuckerberg vs Paul Ceglia
p2pnet view P2P | Advertising:- Who controls Fa$ebook?
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg? Or Paul Ceglia from New York, who says a 2003 contract with Zuckerberg entitles him to 84% of the data mining advertising site?
Watching the “twists and turns of the Paul Ceglia v Mark Zuckerberg lawsuit is like a real-life soap opera”, says All Facebook.
Ceglia reckons Zuckerberg once worked for him as a coder and “says he was only reminded of the contract when he was arrested for fraud over an unrelated matter”, it says, going on >>>
Now WellsvilleDaily.com reports that Ceglia has produced another check payable to Zuckerberg, this one for $3,000 in April 2003. However, since it is a cashier’s check rather than a personal one, Ceglia’s name or signature is not anywhere on the check.
Previously Ceglia had produced one check stub to Zuckerberg for $1,000 and an electronic copy of a contract that purports to give Ceglia a stake in “The Face Book” or “The Page Book”. But Facebook describes the case as “frivolous” and argues that Zuckerberg didn’t conceive of Facebook until a year later in 2004. The company’s position is that Zuckerberg did some unrelated contract programming work for Ceglia as an undergraduate but did not sell a stake in a non-existent company.

Ceglia, a Web designer was developing a project called “StreetFax” in spring of 2003. Ceglia’s plan was to put millions of photos of streets into a database and charge insurers money to access it. “What he needed was a coder,” Connors told the judge.
Ceglia solicited bids, and the lowest bidder Zuckerberg, then a Harvard freshman, said he would do the job for $1,000. “But I’ve got a project of my own,” Connors said Zuckerberg told his client. “I’m developing an online yearbook for Harvard kids now, but I’m thinking of expanding it.”
The contract was intended to cover the coding work on StreetFax and Ceglia’s investment in Zuckerberg’s “fledgling project,” Connors said. “Who knew then that it would turn into what it is today?”
In Ceglia v Zuckerberg, “Facebook Lawyer, Lisa Simpson said to a U.S. District Judge in Buffalo, N.Y.’Whether he signed this piece of paper, we’re unsure at this moment’,” says the story, adding, “On the othe [sic] hand, Paul Ceglia’s attorney, Terrence Connors, produced a copy of two-page ‘work for hire’ contract that entitle Ceglia to control ’social-networking service’.”
Now Ceglia wants the case to be heard in New York, but Zuckerberg says Ceglia is “using a request to return the case to state court ’solely to burden and harass’ him”, says Bloomberg News.
Ceglia’s lawyers say Zuckerberg’s legal residence is his parents’ Dobbs Ferry, New York, home, not Palo Alto, California, where Facebook is based.
“They claim the federal court in Buffalo, New York, lacks jurisdiction over the suit because both men live in the same state”, says the post, quoting lawyers for Facebook and Zuckerberg, “who had the case moved from state to federal court July 9″, as stating, “Mark Zuckerberg lives year-round in California and has made California his permanent home.
“Federal courts that otherwise wouldn’t have jurisdiction can hear civil suits between parties from different states”, the story explains, adding:
“Ceglia, who lives in Wellsville, New York, is trying to have the case moved back to state court, where a judge entered an order June 30 blocking Facebook from transferring company assets. That order expired July 23.”
Stay tuned.

It all started in the year 2003 when I was logged in to the Harvard website, where I was listening in to the conversations of the Harvard students. One of these students was Mark Zuckerberg who was talking about Face Smash and he had just broken up with his girlfriend at the time, so I struck up a conversation with this Mark Zuckerberg. He was talking about creating a dating site. I thought this was a bit odd – a pie in the sky idea since he had just broken up with his girlfriend and he was slagging her off – calling her a bitch and a whore.
dave talked to Mark about the idea, and suggested he call it Face Mash. He was intrigued with my suggestion and thought it was a good idea. Mark wanted to call it Face Smash, because he wanted to smash his ex in the face. I convinced him that Face Mash was a good idea and he agreed, but one week later he changed his mind and wanted to call it Face Smash. When I queried him about this he replied ‘f…. off you c…- I’m calling it Face Smash’. Two weeks after this conversation he came up with the name Mashable and when I asked him why he chose the word Mashable instead of Face Mash he said ‘f,…off you bastard, Face mash is not your idea’. So I re-posted the conversations we had two weeks earlier and he had to apologise and said he was going with Mashable. I took this as a sign that he wanted to throw me off the scent and take the site for himself.
dave found the character of Mark Zuckerberg to be deceptive and dishonest and ended conversing with Mark Zuckerberg because of his dishonesty and lack of integrity.
After this dave started conversing with Dustin and Chris about an idea of mine called Facebook for an online service where students can post pictures and information on themselves and use it as a directory. They were very intrigued by my idea and wanted to know more.
dave told them that in the beginning, it would be an online service just for Harvard students, and then spreading through the other campuses in America, joining them up together. The idea was to make it easy for people to connect with other university students so they could get an idea of what other campuses were like, and even eventually spreading through the general public, giving them an idea of what was offered at the different campuses.
Dustin and Chris were very intrigued with my idea and said they wanted to be on board.
dave talked extensively about my ideas of Facebook and went into great detail of how to get it set up and started. They queried about the finance of setting it up and I told them I was in contact with Tony Robbins, who was interested by the idea and we were having discussions regarding his financial backing of the project
dave made contact with paul ceglia and was in discussion about a platform for the idea the facebook but zuckerberg found out and the cat and mouse game was on zuckerberg under cut dave but dave was not upset about this because if zuckerberg was going steal this it was going to bite back and yes payback is a bitch LOL
dave kept in touch with Dustin and Chris and told them that I suspected what was going on.
dave then found another contact at Harvard, called Eduardo Saverin and invited him to join me in developing my idea, and also to find out what was going on between Dustin, Chris and Mark, who were room mates. Eduardo was the odd person out.
dave started to receive more emails from (supposedly) Mark, Dustin and Chris saying they were no longer interested in my project and said they had other ideas to pursue, which was untrue (as it has turned out
Another interesting person dave made contact with was Sean Parker.
At the time, he was running an online site called Napstar, and he was also working on another site called Wired Hog (where one could upload or download stuff and he had a copyrighted program to be able to do all this) and this is why I also invited him to join my project, as he had the program we needed.
Sean wanted 55% ownership of the project for his input so dave told him this was unacceptable and then he turned round and told Mark Zuckerberg had made him a better offer. dave told him that Mark did not own the idea of Facebook.
He then got smart and asked me if dave knew what emails were and whether I could produce any evidence. dave took this as an attempt to see whether I could prove everything that took place and for him to use this as a weapon to see if he could gouge out as much interest in Facebook as he could, and he tried to play me off against Zuckerberg to get the maximum holdings of Facebook. I received an email from Parker saying that Zuckerberg had offered him 5% and was I interested in offering him more. At this point, I told him to **** off and that Facebook was not Zuckerberg’s idea.
dave then told Dustin and Chris that dave was no longer interested in pursuing developing the site with them and dave would go elsewhere to do it.
dave found a site at Harvard called Harvard Connect (later, in 2004 changed to Harvard Connect To You) run by Cameron and Taylor Winklevoss, and dave explained everything about Facebook and the dealings with Zuckerberg, Dustin and Chris and how dave believed that Zuckerberg was in the process of stealing david idea, and Idave asked if the Winklevosses were interested in running Facebook on the Harvard site.
They expressed enthusiasm in the offer and liked the idea of running the site as they liked the concept of Facebook.
They told me that they were going to change their site name and redesign it at that time (to Harvard Connect To You).
The person they called in to help them redesign their site was Mark Zuckerberg who then stole their platform
U see zuckerberg got this guy to recommend him to the winklevoss and zuck stole the platform but not the idea zuck had stolen the idea from dave zuckerberg was not interested in facebook when he agreed to the contract with ceglia only the money it was the same when zuck spent eduardo saverin money and spat in his face your best friend
Yes you did sign a contract zuckerberg In a email zuckerberg called paul ceglia a dum fuck sucker in 2003 i posted a copy to the crimsin post and the rumour spread that zuckerberg sign the contract so thank you for that
dave then went to Aaron Greenspan who was running house systems at Harvard and asked him (under an email non disclosure agreement) to run Facebook on his site which he agreed to do. aaron greenspan used the (info) to extort financal money out of facebook and zuckerberg paid the extortion money and dave call it extortion U see zuckerberg new aaron greenspan new zuck had stolen the idea facebook .I sent all the emails copy to aaron greenspan
David Kirkpatrick, (who is the author of the upcoming book ‘the Facebook Effect) -dave
made contact and sent him copies of the relevant emails and gave him the full story of how Zuckerberg stole Facebook YES MADOFF IS VERY PROUD of you kirkpatrick (slap)
And the people who concealed the truth are zuck dustin moskovilz sean parker and lisa simpson of the law form orrick
U see there was a vid where zuckerberg said that dave gave him the idea facebook there were 2 disc one with a reporter and one to the FBI
lisa simpson got a cout order to get the 2 discs but on returning the disc had defile the sound of the disc to cover up that zucerberg had stolen the idea facebook
THE FBI .there was a FAKE CONNECT 2U account filled with FAKE information I log a complaint to the FBI in 2004 on mark zucerberg the fbi got sent all the email i had to mark dustin &cris.. and to the crimsin post i sent a copy to them and the rumour started
Yes you did sign a contract zuckerberg In a email zuckerberg called paul ceglia a dum fuck sucker in 2003 i posted a copy to the crimsin post and the rumour spread that zuckerberg sign the contract
Zuckerberg stole the idea facebook this is the reason zuckerberg sign the contract to stop dave who was in contact with ceglia
zuckerberg undercut dave to steal the idea and for the money and your accomplice in this was dustin and no zuckerberg i did not say you can have facebook you thief and dave posted a copy of the emails to ben mezrick and to david kirkpatrjck
as for kirkpatrick your book is a joke and so are you
zuckerberg sign the contract and winklevoss will have to pay all that money back and you to aaron greenspan
dave went to Aaron Greenspan who was running house systems at Harvard and asked him (under an email non disclosure agreement) to run Facebook on his site which he agreed to do. aaron greenspan used the (info) to extort financal money out of facebook and zuckerberg paid the extortion money and dave call it extortion U see zuckerberg new aaron greenspan new zuck had stolen the idea facebook .I sent all the emails copy to aaron greenspan
