A judge said Paul Ceglia’s claim that he owns a multibillion-dollar share of Facebook Inc. should be thrown out of court because the contract on which he bases his lawsuit is fraudulent.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie G. Foschio in Buffalo, New York, yesterday issued a 151-page report finding “clear and convincing evidence” that Ceglia, 39, forged the contract, destroyed evidence and created phony e-mails between himself and Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive officer and one of its founders.
