On Friday, wood-pellet salesman
Paul Ceglia was arrested for forging documents that support his claim of a
large ownership stake in Facebook.
“The businessman sued Facebook and
its CEO in 2010, claiming a 2003 contract he signed with Zuckerberg, then a
Harvard University student, entitled him to a stake in the social media
company. This past March, as part of
that case, Facebook released emails sent by Zuckerberg around the time of the
contract to show Ceglia's claims were false.”
Forecasting
the outcome of these charges, one lawyer notes, “Ceglia used the federal court
system to perpetuate his fraud and will now be held accountable for his
criminal scheme.”
Can you hear my guffaws? Truly, I’m confounded by the imprudence of
Ceglia. The man alleges untruthful entitlement
to one technology (Facebook) as another technology (email records) simultaneously
invalidates his claim.
In and of itself, this scenario confirms
Ceglia’s fraudulence. How could this man, who
naively underestimates the might of technology, have contributed to Facebook?
