E-mails allegedly written by Facebook Inc. co-founder Mark Zuckerberg are cited in a new court filing by Paul Ceglia as proof of his claim that a 2003 contract gave him 50 percent of the company.
The revised complaint, filed yesterday in federal court in Buffalo, New York, includes new allegations supporting Ceglia’s claim to own part of Palo Alto, California-based Facebook, the world’s biggest social-networking site. Ceglia says Zuckerberg sent him numerous e-mails discussing the terms of the contract and the early development of “The Face Book.”
