They probably don’t “like” this. A Ninth Circuit court ruled Monday that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the twins who claim Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for a social network that became Facebook, were not allowed to back out a settlement they received from Facebook in 2008.
The twins, whose story was dramatized as part of the plot of David Fincher’s Oscar-nominated film The Social Network, received a settlement estimated to be worth $65 million. As part of the deal, the Winklevoss twins received partial ownership of Facebook.
But the two claim they would not have settled, and argued that Facebook didn’t disclose the “true” value of its stock, which they allege was four times higher.
