Winklevoss Twins Drop Case Against Mark Zuckerberg

Winklevoss Twins Drop Case Against Mark Zuckerberg

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have dropped their case against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, according to TMZ.

The 29-year-old olympic rowers’ legal battles were famously depicted in the movie The Social Network, which starred Armie Hammer as both twins.

The twins settled for $65 million in stock options in 2008, but went back to court after Zuckerberg supposedly hid documents from them, which could have proved the stock had more value.

After trying to invalidate the settlement for the past few years, the twins have officially dropped the case.

The stock in the settlement has reportedly grown to $100 million in value!

Unattractive?!
They are Olympic Rowers!
You obviously haven’t seen and enjoyed enough rowers bodies like I have here in Boston.

Also, their faces are more than adequate, compared to the average guy’s; they are tall; from a well-connected family; smart (Harvard for both) and now they are worth, at the very least, $50 each (but, they have a lot more family money).
By the average woman’s standards, there is nothing unattractive about them.

@Madhatter:

While I agree with your comment about their physical attractiveness, I find it quite disturbing that you seem to put a great deal of importance on them being rich.

Good. They got more then enough. Instead of wasting so much time suing mark they could’ve done something better with their time.

These two guys come across as very arrogant and greedy. Whatever happened between them and Zuckerberg was resolved a long time ago. It was a wise decision to let go of it and move on.
