The moral of this story might be that if you file a suit against Facebook claiming that you own half the company, you’d better make sure all documents are authentic.  A man had his home and office raided by the feds for allegedly engaging in the highly risky stunt of suing Mark Zuckerberg, claiming that he’d agreed to share half the profits with Mark when the company was founded.  Now, he might be leaving social media and learning about the social life of a prison inmate, after it was alleged that he made it all up.  More money, more problems.  

 

Federal agents arrested Paul Ceglia, an upstate New York man who claims he’s owed 50% of Facebook, Friday morning on charges of perpetuating a “multi-billion-dollar scheme” to defraud the company. If convicted, Ceglia faces up to 40 years in prison.
