Facebook: We Have Proof Ceglia's Contract Is Fake

Posted by timothy on from the oj-had-it-in-db-cooper's-basement dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Facebook says it has found the proof that shows Paul Ceglia, a man that claims he owns half of the company over a 2003 contract, is a fraud. Facebook says it has found the original 'authentic contract' between Zuckerberg and Ceglia."

    Deity fucking shit, your country is in the deep end of shit and you care about the birth certificate of your elected leader?

    No wonder the U.S.A. is going nowhere fast.

    I guess a lot of Slashdot readers would like nothing better than to see Facebook fade away into history like MySpace, Geocities and whats-its-name. Since it's based in the USA, contracts and lawyers have a pretty good chance of making it happen.

    So it's a contract so confidential that it cannot be legally enforced?

    I don't see why people care about Facebook's legal battles anymore. It's not going to really change anything one way or another. Facebook wins, then there might be an appeal, if they lose there might be an appeal, and either way it's about money that none of us will ever see, and a decision that will not effect our lives in any way significant or insignificant.

    Under Jewish contract law, only one copy of any contract may be produced, and it must be written in an extremely strict, tamper-proof manner. This is intended to prevent just this type of contract-forgery claim.

    Ceglia is protecting himself from a tidal wave of bought credibility.

    If a facsimile of the authentic contract is released, Ceglia and his lawyer know that billions of dollars can buy a lot of witnesses and blood oaths that the contract was merely a unproven copy of one of the hundreds of decoys that Zuckerberg could reproduce --- right down to old Mrs. Crenshaw who taught him history in the third grade and was a decorated nurse who saved the lives of 12 people from a bombed schoolhouse in WW2.

    Ceglia is waiting to produce the original in court and demand Zuckerberg to admit signing it under the threat of perjury. Everything else Zuckerberg presents is a smoke show to avoid that moment. Then the fur will fly.

    Billions buys a lot of sworn testimony.
