Did you know there are more people with genius IQ's living in China
than there are people of any kind living in the United States?
That can't possibly be true.
It is true.
What would account for that?
Well first of all, a lot of people live in China. But here's my question:
Question?
How do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on their SAT's?
I didn't know they take SAT's in China.
They don't. I wasn't talking about China anymore, I
was talking about here.
You got 1600?
Yes. I can sing in a a capella group. But I can't sing.
Does that mean that you actually got nothing wrong?
Or you row crew or you invent a 25 dollar PC.
Or you get into a final club.
Or you get into a final club, exactly.
You know from a woman's perspective sometimes...
not singing in an a capella group can be a good thing.
This is serious.
Well, I am admitting I do like guys who row crew.
I like guys who row crew.
Well, I can't do that.
I'm kidding.
Yes, I got nothing wrong on the test.
Have you ever tried?
I'm trying now.
To row crew?
To get into a final club. To row crew?
No. Are you, like -whatever- delusional?
Sometimes
Sometimes, you say two things at once and I'm not sure which one we're aiming at.
But you've seen guys who row crew, right?
No.
Ok, well, they're bigger than me.
They're world class athletes. And a
second ago you said you like guys who row crew
crew so I assumed you'd met one.
I guess I meant I liked the idea of it.
The way a girl likes cowboys.
Ok.
Can we get something to eat?
Would you rather talk about something
else?
No, it's just that since the beginning of the conversation about finals clubs,
I think I may have missed a birthday.
There are really more people in China with genius
IQ's than the entire population of -
The Phoenix is the most diverse. The Fly Club, Roosevelt punched the Pork.
Which one?
The Porcellian, the Pork, it's the best of the best.
I meant which Roosevelt.
Theodore.
Is it true they send a bus around to pick up girls who want to party with the next chairman?
You can see why it's so Important to get in.
Okay, well, which is the easiest one to get into?
Why would you ask me that?
I was just asking.
None of them, that's the point
Our friend Eduardo made $300, 000 betting on oil futures one summer and
Eduardo won't come close to getting in.
The ability to make money doesn't impress anybody around here.
Must be nice.
He made $300,000 in a summer?
He likes meteorology.
You said it was oil futures.
You can read the weather, you can predict the price of heating oil.
I think you asked me that because you think the final club
that's the easiest to get into is the one where I'll have the best chance.
I... what?
You asked me which one was the easiest to get into...
because you think that's the one where I have the best chance.
The one that's easiest to get into would be the one
where anybody has the best chance.
You didn't ask which one was the best one, you asked me which one was the easiest.
I was honestly just asking, ok? I was just asking to ask.
Mark, I'm not speaking in code.
Erica -
You're obsessed with finals clubs. You have finals clubs OCD.
You need to see someone about it who'll prescribe you some sort of medication.
You don't care if side-effects may include blindness
Final clubs.
Not finals clubs.
And there's a difference between being obsessed and being motivated.
Yes
there is.
Well you do. That was cryptic, so you do speak in code.
I didn't mean to be cryptic.
I'm just saying I need to do something substantial in order to get the attention of the clubs.
Why?
Because they're exclusive. And fun, and they lead to a better life.
Teddy Roosevelt didn't get elected president because he was a member of the
Phoenix Club.
He was a member of the Porcellian, and yes he did.
Well why don't you concentrate on being the best you, you can be.
Did you really just say that
I was kidding
I'm just stating the fact that, doesn’t make it any less.
I want to be straight forward and tell you that I think
you should be a lot more supportive. If I get in I'll be
taking you to the EVENTS and the Gatherings and you'll be
meeting people that you wouldn't normally get to meet.
You would do that for me?
Indeed
Okay I want to try and be straight forward with you and let you know that were not anymore
What is
Were not dating anymore, I'm sorry
Is this a joke?
No, it's not.
You're breaking up with me?
You're going to introduce me to people I wouldn't normally get to meet? What the
fuck is that supposed to mean?
Settle down
What was it supposed to mean?
Erica, the reason we're able to sit here and drink is that you used to sleep with the door guy.
The door guy's name is Bobby. I haven't slept with the door guy, the door guy's a friend of
mine. He's a perfectly good class of people and what part of Long _ Island are you from Wimbledon?
I'm going back to my dorm.
Wait is this true
Yes.
Then I apologize, okay?
I have to go
Erica
Yes.
I'm sorry and I mean it
I appreciate that but I have to study
You don't have to study. Let's just talk.
I can't.
Why?
Because it's expausting. Dating you is like dating a Stairmaster.
All I meant is that you go to B. U. and so you're not likely to~currently
I wasn't making a comment on your appearance. I was saying you
go to B. U. I was stating a fact that's all.
I have to go study.
You don't have to study.
Why do you keep saying I don't have to study
Because you go to B. U.!
Want to get some food?
I'm sorry you're not sufficiently impressed with my education.
And I'm sorry I don't have a rowboat.
So were even.
I think we should just be friends.
I don't want to be friends.
I was being polite, I had no intention of being friends with you.
I'm under some pressure right now from my OS class.
If we could just order some food. I think we should
Ok, you're probably going to be a very successful computer person.
But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd.
And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true.
It'll be because you're an asshole.
Erica Albright Is a bitch. You think...
that's because her family changed their name from Albrecht
or do you think it's because all B. U. girls are bitches?
For the record, she may look like a 34C but she's getting all kinds of help from our
friends at Victoria's Secret. She's a 34B, as in barely anything there. False advertising.
The truth is she has a nice face. I need to think of something to help me take my mind off her.
Easy enough, except I need an idea.
I'm a little intoxicated, I'm not gonna lie.
So what if it's not even 10PM and it's a Tuesday night?
The Kirkland facebook is open on my desktop and some
of these people have pretty horrendous Facebook pics.
Billy Olson's sitting here...
and had the idea of putting some of the pictures next to
pictures of farm animals and have people vote on who's hotter.
Good call Mr. Olson
Yea, it's on. I'm not gonna do the farm animals but I like the
idea of comparing two people together. It gives the whole
thing a very Turing feel since people's ratings of the
pictures will be more Implicit than, say, choosing a number to
represent each person's hotness like they do on hot or not. com.
The first thing we're going to need is a lot of pictures.
Unfortunately, Harvard doesn't keep a public centralized Facebook so I'm going
to have to get all the Images from the individual houses that people are in.
Let the hacking begin.
First up is Kirkland. They keep...
everything open and allow indexes in their Apache configuration, so a little
WGET magic is all that's necessary to ~download the entire Kirkland Facebook.
Kids’ stuff.
Next is Elliot. They're also open but...
with no indexes on Apache. I can run an empty search and it
returns all of the Images in the database in a single page.
Then I can save the page and Mozilla will save all the Images for me.
Excellent.
Moving right along.
Lowell has some security. They require a username/password combo
and I'm going to go ahead and say they don't have access
to main fas user database, so they have no way of detecting an intrusion
Adams has no security but I'Il limlt the number of results to 20 a page
All I have to is breakout the same script I used on Lowell and It's done
Quincy has no online Facebook what a sham.
There is nothing I can do about that
Dunster is intense. Not only is there no public directory but there's no directory at all
You have to do searches and if you're search returns more than 20 matches nothing gets returned
Once you do get results they don't link directly to the
I'mages, they link to a php that redirects or something
Weird
This may be difficult, I'll come back later.
Leverett is a little better. It's a lengthy search but you can do
an empty search and gets links to pages with a preceding picture
It's slightly obnoxious that they let you view one picture at a time
And there’s no way I am gonna go to 500 hundred pages, to download pics 1 at a time.
So It's definitely necessary to break out the emacs and modify that perl script.
Done
What's going on?
Perfect timing. Eduardo's here and he's going to have the key ingredient.
Mark
What up
You and Erica split up?
How did you know that?
It's on your blog.
Oh yeah.
Are you alright?
I need you.
I'm here for you.
No, I need the algorithm you used for the oil futures.
Are you okay?
We're ranking girls.
You mean other STUDENTS
Yeah
You think that's such a good idea?
I need the algorithm?
Give each_gir1 a base rating of 1400. At any time 'Girl A' has a rating R~a and
'Girl B' has e rating R-b.
When any two girls are matched up there's an expectation of which will win based on
their current rating.
Yeah
And Those expectations are expressed this way.
Let's write it.
The one on the left.
on the right.
the right.
Who should we send it to first?
Dwyer
Neal
Who are you gonna send it to?
Just a Couple of people. The question is, who are they gonna send it to?
Hey guys check this out
The one on the left.
These girls
Right or Left
Left
Right or Left
that's my roommate.
ALL On the left.
This isn't funny
Right
Left
All night he blogged about you
You don't want to read this.
Erica is this yours.
I stole it from a train.
Get the hell out of here.
that's an awful lot of traffic.
You think maybe we should shut it down before we get into trouble.
Hello
Wait you say
At 4 in the morning
Well there is an unusual amount of traffic which occurred.
you're saying It's unusual for 4 in the morning.
No this would be unusual for half time at the super bowl.
Alright
I gotta go in.
what's going on.
The Harvard network is about to crash.
You don't think.
I do.
God saves us everybody.
can't connect.
The network.
Unless this a coincidence I would think this is us.
It's not a coincidence.
O shit.
So you're called in front of the add board.
that's not what happened.
You weren’t called in front of the administrative board.
No I was back at the bar with Erica Albright
She said all that.
She said all that. That I said that stuff to her.
I was reading from the transcript of her deposition.
Why would you even need to depose her.
that's really for us to decide.
You think if I know she could make me look like a jerk I'll be more likely to
Mark don't.
Why don't we stretch our legs for a minute, can we do that.
It's been almost 3 hours and frankly you did spend an awful lot of time
embarrassing Mr. Zuckerberg with the girls testimony from the bar.
I am not embarrassed, she just made a lot of that up.
She was under Oath.
I guess that would be the first time someone lied under oath
They got 2200 hits within 2 hours.
Thousands
What
22 Thousand
Those guys are really fast.
Is there any way to make this a fair fight.
Jump out and swim.
We'd have to jump out and drown.
We are genetically identical we would stay in one place.
just row the damn boat.
You hear about this?
What
Two nights ago, a sophomore choked the network with a laptop from Kirkland.
At four am
He set up a website were we vote the hotness of female undergrads
What were we doing, that none of us heard about this
I do not know, 3 hour technical row before breakfast
full course load studying.
Another 3 hours in the tank then studying.
I'm not sure how we missed it.
How much activity was on this thing.
Twenty-two thousand page requests.
Twenty-two thousand
This is half of Facebook, 7 houses
He developed the site in 1 night and he did it while he was drunk.
Twenty-two thousand
How do you know he was drunk
He was blogging, while doing this.
Know what it think
Way ahead of you.
This is our guy.
Cameron Worth, WINKLEVOSS, Cameron spelt the usual way.
Taylor WINKLEVOSS, Taylor spelt the usual way. My last name is the same as my brother
Mr. Zuckerberg, this is an Administrative board hearing.
you're being accused of intentionally breaching security
Violating copyright, Violating individual privacy
By creating the website WWW. FACEMASH. COM
You also charged with being in violation of university
policy on distribution of digltized Images.
Before we begin with our questioning, you're allowed
to make a statement, Would you like to do so?
Uh... I have already apologized in the Crimson, to the AVHW
To'Harvard Latino Women's Association,' and to any women at
Harvard who might have been insulted, as I take that they were'
As for any charges stemming from the breach of security
I believe I deserve some recognition from this board.
I'm sorry
I don't understand.
Which part?
You deserve recognition.
I believe I pointed out some pretty gaping holes in your system.
Scuse me. May I.
Mr. Zuckerberg. I'm in charge of security for all computers on the Harvard network.
I can assure you of Its sophistication
In fact it was that level of sophistication, that led us to you in less than 4 hours.
Four hours?
Yes sir.
That would be Impressive except if you’d known what you are
looking for you would see it written on my dorm room window.
So six months Academic probation.
Wow, they had to make an example out of you.
They have my blog
I should have written nothing about the farm animals, that was stupid.
I was kidding for god’s sake doesn't anybody have a sense of humor
- I tried to stop you
- I know
How do you do this thing were you manage to get all girls to hate us
Why do I love China:
OK Let’s look at a sample problem
Suppose were given a computer a 16 bit virtual address, and a page size of 256-bytes.
The System uses a one level page table that starts at address Ox0400
Maybe you want dna on your 16-bit system who knows.
The first few pages are reserved for the hardware flag etc
assume page table ENTRIES HAVE 8 STATUS bits
Eight-bit status code will then be
Ah I see we have our first surrender
don't worry, Mr. Zuckerberg, brighter men then you have tried and failed this class
One valid bit, One modified bit, One reference bit, 5 permission bit
That is correct
Does everybody see how he got there
Mark?
You Mark Zuckerberg?
Yes
I'm Calvin Winklebaum
HI
Taylor Winklebaum
You guys related?
Good, funny never heard that before.
What can I do for you?
Did I insult you're girlfriends?
No, you didn’t
I don't know
We never asked
We should
NO
We have an idea we want to talk to you about.
Got a minute?
You guys look like you guys spent some time at the gym.
We have to
why?
We row crew.
Yeah, I've got a minute.
GREAT.
Have you ever been inside the Porcellian
NO.
We cannot take you past the pike cause you're not a member
That hurt.
Want a sandwich or something?
Uh, ok
- Mark right?
Yes
- Mark, this is Divya Narendra, our partner
Hi
Were really Impressed with'Facemash'
We checked you out., you also built 'CourseMatch'
What is 'CourseMatch'?
You go online and see what courses your friends are taking.
Really harmless.
Mark?
Yeah?
We were talking about 'CourseMatch'
It was kind of a no-brainer.
You invented something in high school too, right?
Asked for an MP3 player, that recognizes your taste in music.
Anybody try to buy it?
Microsoft
How much?
Didn't sell it, uploaded it for free.
For free?
Yeah
Why?
Ok, well, we have something we have been working on for a while idea.
We think it's great, it's called 'the Harvard Connection'.
You can create your own page, interests, bio's, friends.
Then people can go online and see your bio.
Requests
Yeah, how is that different then 'My Space' and 'Friendster'?
Harvard. Edu.
We’re going to use the most prestigious e-mail in the country.
Based on the idea that girls
Girls want to only go out with guys who go to Harvard.
Me and my brother don't have trouble getting
Basically what we’re talking about is MYSPACE,
FRIENDSTER any of those other social networking sites.
It's exclusivity.
Right.
Yeah, we'd love for you to work with us Mark.
We need a programmer who is creative.
And we know who can take the initiative.
This could help rehabilitate you're Image.
Wow you would do that for me.
We'd like to work with you.
Our first programmer graduated and went to work for Google.
Our second programmer just got overwhelmed with school work.
We would need you to build the site, write the code and we'll provide
I'm in
What
I'm in
Awesome
that's what you said?
It was three or four years ago, I don't know what I said.
When did you come to Eduardo?
I don't understand that question.
You remember answering in the affirmative.
the affirmative.
When I did you come to Eduardo with the idea for Facebook.
It was called 'TheFacebook' then.
This doesn't need to be that difficult.
I'm currently in the middle of two different lawsuits.
Did you answer affirmatively?
When Taylor and Cameron Winklevoss in November ask you to build 'Harvard Connection,'
did you say yes?
I said I'd help.
When did you approach Mr. Savarin with the idea for the FACEBOOK?
I wouldn't say I approached him.
SY?
You can answer the question.
At a party at ALPHA EPSILON PI.
What's that?
The Jewish fraternity.
It was Caribbean night.
Why are guys like me generally attracted to Asian girls?
But Asian girls are generally attracted to guys like me.
I don't know if an algorithm could find the connection to you.
It's not that complicated they're hot, they're smart.
They are not Jewish and they can't dance.
Hey, Mark is here!
Mark
I think I've come up with something.
I have to tell you something you're not going to believe.
Come on.
I got punched by the 'Phoenix'.
Are you kidding?
It's the first in a four step process.
They slipped the invitation under my door tonight.
My first punch party tomorrow.
You got punched by the 'Phoenix'.
What did you want to talk to me about?
Mark you said you come up with something.
Yeah, I've think I come up with something. Come outside.
It's twenty degrees outside.
I can't stare at that thing NIAGARA FALLS, which has nothing to do with the Caribbean.
People came to 'Facemash' in a stampede, right?
It wasn't because they saw pictures of hot girls
You can go anywhere on the internet and see pictures of hot girls.
Because they saw pictures of girls that they knew.
People want to go on the internet to check out their friends so why
not build a web site that offers them friends, pictures, profiles
whatever you can visit just browse around, maybe someone you just met at a party
I'm not talking about a dating site.
I'm talking about taking the entire social experience of college
and putting it online.
Can't feel my legs.
I know.
I'm totally psyched about this to Eduardo.
'It would be exclusive.'
You would have to know the people on the site to get past you're own page like.
Getting pinched.
that's good
It's like 'Final Club', but we're president.
I told him I thought it sounded great
was a great idea
There was nothing to hack people were gonna provide their own pictures, their own information.
And people would have the ability to invite or not invite their friends to join.
In a world were social structure was everything.
That was the thing.
It was a big project, and he was going to have to write 10s of thousands lines of code.
So I was wondering why he was coming to me and not his roommates.
Dustin Moscovitz, Chris Hughe's they were programmers.
We’re gonna need a little start up cash to rent a server to get it online.
So that was why.
Did he offer terms.
Well split it 70/30.
70 for me 30 for you for putting up the 1000 dollars
and for handling everything on the business end.
Your CFO
And you said.
I said, 'let’s do it'
OK did he add anything else?
YES
It probably was a diversity thing
So what.
Why you think he said that?
Gretchen, excuse me for interrupting, whose discovery is this.
SY, if you let me continue with my line of questioning.
They are suggesting that I was jealous of jealous of Eduardo for getting punched by the PHOENIX
And began a plan to screw him out of a company that I hadn’t even invent yet.
Were you.
Gretchen!
Jealous of Eduardo?
Stop typing were all
I know you've done your homework and know money is not a big part of my life.
But at the moment I could buy Mount Auburn street, take
the PHOENIX club and turn it into my PING-PONG room.
I'll let you know how the party ends.
We recognize that you’re A plaintiff in one suit involving Facebook
And a witness in another.
Yes, sir
At any time in the weeks prior to Mark telling you his idea
Did he mention Tyler Winklevoss, Cameron Winklevoss,
Deidre revedra or HARVARD CONNECTION
Yes
He said they asked him to work on their site.
But that he looked at what they had and decided it wasn't worth his time.
He said even his most pathetic friends, knew about getting people interested
in the website then these guys.
These guys means my clients
Yes
Yes he resented, Mark resented that
they you're clients that he thought that he needed to rehabilitate his Image after FACEMASH
Mark didn't want to rehabilitate anything with FACEMASH
Hacked into the Harvard computers, he blew his nose at the add-board.
He got a lot of notoriety FACEMASH did exactly what he wanted to do.
Were you aware that while Mr. Zuckerberg was building the'TheFacebook'
He was also communicating with the plaintiffs
Not at the time I wasn't
It really did not have much to do with the Winklevoss dating site
How would you know, you weren’t even there.
Were you aware that while Mr. Zuckerberg was building the 'The Facebook'
He was leading the plaintiffs to believe he was building 'the Harvard Connection
Conclusion not found in evidence
We are about to find this new evidence.
From Mark Zuckerberg to Tyler Winklevoss November 30, 2003,
I read over all the stuff you sent me RE: HARVARD CONNECTION
and it seems like it shouldn't take too long to Implement
so we can talk about it after I get all the basic functionality up tomorrow night
From Mark Zuckerberg to Tyler Winklevoss December 1, 2003
sorry I was unreachable tonight
I just got about 3 of your missed calls, I was working on a problem then my system collapsed.
From Mark Zuckerberg to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss December 10, 2003
this week has been pretty busy, between HARVARD, classes and work.'
So I think It's probably best to postpone the meeting.
I'm also really busy tomorrow
OK anybody else feel like there is something up with this guy
Tell him OK.
But we do have to make sure we all meet up before we go off for break.
I know, I know.
Yeah watch out.
Hey Mark
I need a dedicated LINUX box running APACHE with-backend
It's gonna cost a little more money.
How much more.
About 200 hundred more
Do we need it.
It's gotta handle the traffic.
Do it.
I already did.
Hey guess what
I made the second cut.
that's good.
You should be proud of that right there, don't worry if you don't make it any further.
I'll get out of here.
From Mark Zuckerberg to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss
and Deidre reanada
Dec 152003
I have a CS problem set that I am just getting started with and it
should be about 15 hours of coding so I'll be busy tomorrow night.
I won't really be free to meet until next Wednesday afternoon/
I have to cancel Wednesday afternoon.
I've basically been in the lab this whole time.
And I also won't be able to do Saturday as I have to meet up with my parents.
As the plaque reads 'John Harvard'
Founder of HARVARD UNIVERSITY in 1638.
Some call this the statue of 3 lies.
What are the 3 lies?
MR. Dowd
3 lies, first.
Shit
Take your pants off.
OH No
AH Mr. Sabourin
1- Harvard was founded in 1636.
Not 1638
2- Harvard was not founded by John Harvard.
3- That is not John Harvard.
Who is it.
friend of the sculpture Daniel Chester.
Keep your jacket on.
39 days after Mr. Zukerman’s initial meeting with my clients.
And he still hasn’t completed work on HARVARD CONNECTION.
But on Jan 112004
Mr. Zuckerberg registered the domain name the FACEBOOK, by network solutions.
To the best of your Knowledge had he even begun work on HARVARD CONNECTION.
Not to my knowledge.
NO
Hey Cameron I'm still a little skeptical that we have enough
functionality in the site to really draw the attention
and to gain the critical mass necessary to get a site like this to run.
Will speak soon.
This is the 1st time he mentioned any problems.
Yes it was.
You sent 36 e-mails
To Mr. Zuckerberg
And received 16 e-mails in return
And this is the 1st time he indicated he was not happy.
that's correct.
he had 42 days to study our system and get out ahead
Do you see any of your code on Facebook
Did I use any of your code?
You stole our whole Goodman idea!
Fellas
How’s dot com site used? - Can I continue with my deposition?
You know you really don't need a forensic team to get to the bottom of this
If you guys were the inventors of Facebook
you invented FACEBOOK
I can't wait to stand over your shoulder and watch you write us a check
Bullshit
Iets continue
February 4, 2004-

Why do you need my laptop
You got e-mails for everybody at the Phoenix.
I don't know
I'm not sure if it's going to be cool that I am doing this

No I know It's not spam
If we send to our friends, it's just gonna bounce around us dorks.
I haven't got in yet
These guys know people

Sure, good.
Give me the mailing list.
'Jabberwock12@listserver. harvard. E-D-U'

ACU
Look at this, somehow
I'm really hoping it's a cat that looks like Hiler
I could never get enough of that
Here?
WHAT?
Hey, what is wrong
Hey
Not now
Need twenty minutes
OK, I just want to let you know that Zuckerberg stole our website
Mark Zuckerberg he stole our web site
It's been live for more than 36 hours
Mr. Hotchkiss
lawyer, from dad
I'm here with my brother Tylor and business partner-
Welcome to the 'The Facebook'
'The Facebook'
, is an online directory that connects with different social networks
Must have an Harvard. EDU address to register
that's right, yes sir
I called earlier. I'm looking for Mark Zuckerberg
Yes, sir he actually quoted-
read it to you
Everyone is talking a lot about Universal FACEBOOK within HARVARD
Meaning what
I think it's kind of silly that it would take the university a couple of years to get around to it
I can do a classier job then they can
and I gave
As of yesterday evening 'Zuckerberg said that over 650 students registered to use the Facebook. com
He said that he anticipated 900 would join by this morning
Yes, he was just reading that 650 students signed up for it on the 1st day
God If I was a drug dealer, I could not give free drugs to 650 people in a day
This guy doesn't have three friends to rub together
to make a fourth
All right yes that's what well do Mr. Hotchkiss
well put it all together and well e-mail it to you
You won't be able to go on the web site yourself
Because you don't have a... Harvard
You know it would just be easier for us to email it to you
I'm sure you're right. He is a good guy and he's very bright and I'm sure he didn't mean to
WOW
What he did
Well thank you very much and dad
I’d like to
This is a good guy?
We don't know that he's not a good guy
We know he stole our idea
We know lied to our faces
for a month and a half
NO... He never lied to our face
OK he never saw our faces fine. he lied through our e-mail accounts
And he gave himself a 42 day head start
Because he knows what apparently you don't
Which is that getting there first is everything
I'm a competitive racer, Dave.
I don't think you need to school me on the importance of getting there first
THANK YOU
ALL RIGHT
That was your father's lawyer?
He is our counsel
He is going to look at all this and if he thinks it's appropriate,
he's going to send a cease and desist letter
what's that gonna do
What you want to hire an IP lawyer and sue him?
No, I want to hire the SOPRANOS to beat the shit out of him with a hammer
- We don't have to do that
that's right
We can do that ourselves
I'm 6'5', 220 and there’s two of us
Well whatever I'm saying, let's calm down until we know what we're talking about
How much more information are you waiting for
We met with Mark 3 times, we exchanged 52 e-mails
We can prove that he looked at the code
What is that on the bottom of the page
'A Mark Zuckerberg production'
On the home page?
On every page.
They wrote Zuckerberg said he hoped the privacy option would help restore his
reputation following student outrage over Facemash. com outrage committed after
Exactly what we said to him
- he's giving us the finger in the Crimson
While we are waiting for dads lawyer to look this stuff over we can get something going in the paper
NO
People know that this is in dispute
We're not starting a knife fight in the Crimson
And we're not suing anybody
Why not
I just don't understand, why not
He's gonna say stupid
Me?
Say it, why not?
Because we are gentlemen of Harvard
This is Harvard, were you don't plant stories, and you don't sue people
You thought he was goona be the only one that thought that was stupid?
During the time when you say you had this idea
did you know Tylor and Cameron, came from a family of means?
A family of means?
Did you know their father was wealthy?
I not sure why you're asking me that
It's not Important that you be sure why I am asking
Not Important to you
CY
Did you know that they came from money?
I had no idea whether they came from money or not
In one of your lead ups Mr. Narendra, you referenced Howard Winklevoss consulting firm
If you say so
Howard Winklevoss founded a firm whose assets are in the hundreds of millions
You also knew Tyler and Cameron were members of the Harvard finals club called THE PERCILLE
You pointed that out
Excuse us for inviting you in
To the bike room
So It's safe to say that you were aware that my clients had money
YES
Let me tell you why I am asking,
I'm wondering why if you knew you needed a thousand dollars
for an internet venture you didn't ask my clients for
they had demonstrated an interest in that kind of thing.
I asked my best friend for the money because that's who I wanted to be partners with
Eduardo was the President of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend
your best friend is suing you for six hundred million dollars
I didn't know that, tell me more
Eduardo, what happened after the initial launch?
I'm Sorry CY, would you mind addressing him as Mr. Savarin?
Gretchen, they're best friends
Not anymore
We already went through this never mind
Mr. Savarin, what happened after the initial launch
It exploded
Everybody on Campus Facebook me has become a common expression
And ah Mark?
And Mark was the biggest thing on campus?
That included 19 Nobel laureates and 15 Pulitzer Prize winners
Two future Olympians, and a movie star
Who is the movie star?
Doesn't matter?
Mark
your friend, is Mark Zuckerberg?
Yeah
He made the'Facebook'?
Yeah
Cool. I am a Christy, this is Alice
Nice to meet you
maybe we can go out get a drink
Yeah Certainly
Because, first, she said on the Facebook to find her.
The second is that we can all go out for a drink
This is so great
For two reasons
1 cause she likes FACEBOOK and the other
They want to have drinks later
Have you ever heard so many good things packed into one regular sized sentence
Excuse me, Mark?
Yeah
I am Stewart Singer, I'm in your OS class
SURE
Awesome job with the Facebook
Awesome
Thanks
I'm Bob
How are you doing?
You know, I can swear he was looking at you
When he said 'the next Bill Gates could be right in this room
I doubt it
I showed up late I didn't even know who the speaker was
Bill Gates
Shit that makes sense
all right thanks guys
You want to walk
What were their names?
You hear what I just said?
What
I said It's time to modify the site
What does that mean?
It means, It's time for the web site generate revenue
I know the word, I am asking is how you want to do it
- Advertising
NO
Well we got 4000 members
Because Facebook is a cool
And if we start selling pop-ups for Mountain Dew
Well I wasn't thinking mountain DEW Mountain Dew, but
but at some point I am talking as the business end of the company
We don't even know what it is yet
what it is
We don't know what it can be, We don't know what it will be,
We know that It's cool
that is a priceless asset I'm not giving up
So when will it be finished
It won't be finished
that's the point, the way fashion never finishes
fashion
fashion is never finished
you're talking about fashion? Really you
I’m talking about the idea and I'm saying that It's never finished
OK they manage to make money selling pants
Mark, What is this?
A what
This
It's called a Cease and Desist letter?
What were their names
Who
the Girls
When did you get this?
About ten days ago, right after we launched the site.
Hey, the girls
What were their name?
It says the Winklevoss twins are saying that you stole their ideas
I find that to be a little more than mildly annoying
They find it to be intellectual property theft
Why didn't you show this to me?
It was addressed to me
Their saying we stole the Facebook from David Neandra and the Winklvoss twins
I know what it says
Did we
Did we what
don't screw around with me now
Look at me
The letter said we could face legal action
No, it says I could face legal action
This from a lawyer, Mark, they must feel they have some grounds
The Lawyer is their father's house counsel
Do they have grounds?
The grounds are our thing is cool, and popular, and Harvard Connection is lame
Eduardo, I didn't use any of their code I promise I didn't use anything
Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn't owe money to everyone whose ever built a chair
Look, they came to me with an idea... I had a better one.
Why didn't you show me this letter?
I didn't think it was a big deal
Is there something wrong
If there ever anything wrong
You can tell me
I'm the guy that wants to help
This is our thing
Now is there anything you need to tell me?
No
What are we doing about this?
I went to 3L Student Legal Services, and they told me to write them back
And what did you say?
When we met in January, I expressed my doubts about the site.
were it stood with graphics, how much programming was left that I had not anticipated.
lack of hardware, we had website use and promotion...
and the to go on to successfully launch the web site.
This is your first time to you raised any of those concerns right
I raised concerns before
BULLSHIT
that's all gentlemen
I'm talking about the meeting in January to which this letter is referring
Yeah
Let me rephrase this
You sent my client sent 16 emails
The first 15, you didn't raise any concerns
Is that a question?
In the 16th e-mail you raised concerns about site functionality.
Were you leading them on for six weeks?
No.
Then why didn't you raise any of these concerns before
It's raining.
I'm sorry.
It just started raining.
Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
No.
Do you think I deserve it?
What?
Do you think I deserve your full attention?
I had to swear an oath before I began this deposition and I don't want to perjure myself
so I have a legal obligation to say no
OK no.
You don't think I deserve you're attention
I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders
and call themselves tall, they have a right to
but there is no requirement that I enjoy sitting here, listening to people lie.
You have part of my attention you have the minimum amount.
The rest of my attention is back at the offices of FACEBOOK
Were my colleagues and I are doing thing that no one
in this room including and especially your clients
are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.
Does that adequately answer your condescending question?
I have it 12: 45, why don't we say that's lunch.
Back at 2: 30.
So, What' were their names
Their names were Christie and Alice
And they want to have drinks tonight.
Hey man sorry, a couple of girls are freshening up in there.
OK.
We GOT A QUICKIE.
I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
Erica?
Hi.
I saw you from over there, I didn’t't know you came to this pub
first time
Mine too, can I talk to you alone for a second?
I think I'm good right here
I just
I love to talk to you alone
If we could talk outside
Right here is fine
I don't know if you heard about this new website I launched?
No
The Facebook?
You called me bitch on the Internet, Mark
that's why I wanted to talk to you
On the Internet
That is why I came over
Comparing women to farm animals?
I didn't end up doing that
didn't stop you from writing it.
It's as if every thought that tumbles through your head is so clever
It would be a crime for it not to be shared
The internet’s not written in pencil Mark
It's written in ink
And you published 'Erika Albright' is a bitch
Right before you made an ignorant crack about my family’s name
And Bra size, then rated women based on their flatness
Erica is there a problem
No there’s no problem
You right, you're snyde bullshit in a dark room
because that's what you need now a days
It was nice to see you
don't torture me for it
If we could just go somewhere for a minute
I do not want to be rude to my friends
OK
Good luck with your video games
Yeah that was great, that was the right thing to do you apologized right
We have to expand
Tomorrow
Is he mad about something
OK we are expanding to Yale and Columbia
Dustin, I want you to share the coding work with me
Chris, you are in charge of publicity and outreach
and you can start by getting us a story in the BSU newspaper
The Bridge
They hate doing stories about Harvard
Somebody at the newspaper will be a computer science major tell him
Mark Zuckerberg will do ten hours of free programming
Why do you want a story in the BU newspaper?
Because I do
Now here’s the arrangement
Eduardo is CFO, owns 30% of the company
Dustin is a vice president and head of programming,
and his 5% of the company will come from my end
Chris is director of publicity, and his compensation
will depend on the amount of work he ends up doing
Any Questions?
Who are these girls?
Sorry, they are Christie and Alice
HI
HELLO
HI
Is there anything we can do
No
Nothing
Yale and Columbia
- And Stanford
What?
Stanford
It is time for them to see us from PAOLO ALTO
you don't want any lunch?
No
you're welcome to some salad
No, thank you
This must be hard
Who are you
I'm Marilyn Delpei, I introduced myself
I mean what do you do?
I am a second year associate at the firm
My boss wanted me to sit in on the deposition case
What are you doing?
Checking to see how It's going in Bosnia
Bosnia
There are enough Road but they are on Facebook?
You must really hate the Winklevoss's?
I don't hate anybody
The Winklevai are suing me for intellectual property theft
Their suing me because for the first time in their lives
Things didn't work out the way they were supposed to for them
He is expanding
What?
Yale, Columbia and Stanford, It's gonna be in the Cromson tomorrow
Really
Yeah
Well it looked like the cease and desist order really scared the shit out of him huh
I want to hire a lawyer to file for injunctive releasing it, the site taken down now.
Every minute the site is up HARVARD CONNECTION becomes less valuable
I want an injunction I want damages I want punitive release
I want him dead
Yeah I want those things to
Then why aren’t we doing anything about it
Because we are a gentleman at Harvard?
Because you're not thinking about how It's gonna look
how’s it gonna look
Like my brother and I are in skeleton costumes chasing the karate kid around a high school gym
Cam
He has violated Massachusetts state law
He goes to Connecticut, New York and to California he will have violated federal law
By the way he's in violation of Harvard law
There’s no such thing as HARVARD law
YEAH
There is
Harvard student hand book
Every freshman is issued one of these
Somewhere in this book it says you can't steal from another student
This is what we need
You can't get a meeting with Larry Summers
My brother and I we pay tuition at this school
We carry a 3.9 GPA
We won trophies for this school
and we’ll be rowing in the Olympics for this school
I want a meeting with the Goodman president of this school
Why STANFORD
Why do you think
I'm late for BIO-CHEM
OK
You don't know my name do you
Is it Stanford
I should just kick your ass
How do you go to a party
Amelia Ritter
but you prefer Amy
you're from Olinda
you're fathers in commercial real estate and you're mothers never sober
what's my major
Trombone

I wouldn’t say that
What would you say
That I'm an entrepreneur
Well then what was you're entrepreneur
Well I founded an Internet company that lets folks download and share music for free
Kind of like Napster?
Exactly like Napster?
What do you mean?
I founded Napster
Sean Parker founded Napster
Nice to meet you

UH HUH you see the shoes on the other.
foot
table
I just slept with Sean Parker?
You just slept on Sean Parker?
you're a billionaire
not technically
What are you
broke
There's not a lot of money in free music and even...
less if you're being sued by anyone who won a Grammy
This is blowing my mind
I appreciate that
I gotta hop in the shower and get ready for class
Even though you're a French major whose name is Amy
I'm a hard worker
There’s juice. there's anything else you can find, help yourself
Mind if I check my e-mail
Yeah go ahead
AMY
Can you come out here
Just a second
There a snake in here, Amy
What?
Where
OK there is no snake but I need to ask you something
Are you kidding me I could have been killed
How
By
Running too fast
And getting twisted in the curtain
What do you need to ask me?
I went to check my e-mail and there’s a website open on your computer
Yeah after you passed out last night I went on the Facebook for a bit
what's that?
The Facebook?
STANFORD'S had it for like 2 weeks now
It's really awesome, freakishly addictive
seriously I'm on the thing like 5 times a day
Mind if I send myself an e-mail
Yeah is everything okay
Everything’s great
I just need to find you Mark Zuckerberg
Ever been in this building before
This buildings a hundred years older than the country It's in.
So do be careful
Were sitting in chairs
YES
Very good
You can go in now
Catherine, I’ve got students now
students
undergrads
don't know, from the looks of it they want to sell me a Brooks Brothers suit
Good morning
Good morning, sir
I'm Cameron Winklevoss, this is my brother Tyle
Are you here because?
I'm sorry sir, I thought you were reading the letter
read the letter
well
we came up with an idea for a website called 'Harvard Connection'
we've since changed the name to CONNECTU
and Mark Zuckerberg stole that idea and
I understand
and I'm asking what you want me to do about it?
Well sir
In the HARVARD student handbook which is distributed to each freshman
Under the heading standards of conduct in the HARVARD community
it says the college expects all the students to be honest
and forthcoming in their dealings with members in the community
students are required to respect public and private ownership
and instances of theft, misappropriation
- Anne?
Yes sir?
punch me in the face, go ahead
or
or unauthorized use will result in
disciplinary action
including required withdrawal from the college
you memorized that instead of doing what
what my brother came and
I came here to ask you respectfully
Sir It's against university rules to steal from other students
plain and simple
have you spoken to your housemaster
yes sir
and the housemaster made a recommendation to the AD BOARD but the ADBOARD won't hear us
have you tried dealing with the other student directly
Mr. Zuckerberg hasn’t been responding to any of our e-mails and phone calls for the last 2 weeks
he doesn't answer when we knock on his door at KIRKLAND
and the closest I’ve come to dealing with him face to face
when I saw him on the quad and chased him through HARVARD SQUARE
chased him
I saw him and I know he saw me, I went after him
and he disappeared
I don't see this as a university issue
Of course It's a university issue
there’s a code of ethics and an honor code and he violated them both
you entered into a code of ethics with the university
I'm sorry president Summer's not with each other
I'm sorry president summers what you just said makes no sense to me at all
I'm devastated by that
What my brother means is
Mark Zuckerberg walked into our dorm room and stole our computer
that would be a university issue
I don't know this office dent handle petty larceny
this isn't petty larceny
this idea is potentially worth millions of dollars
millions
yes
you might just be letting you're Imaginations run away with you
sir
I honestly don't think you're in any position to make that call
I was the US Treasury secretary
I'm in some position to make that call
'Letting our Imaginations run away with us'
Is exactly what we were told to do in your Freshman address?
well then I would suggest that you let you're Imaginations
run away with you on a new project
you would
everyone at HARVARD is inventing something
HARVARD undergraduates believe that inventing a job is
better than finding a job is better than finding a job
So I suggest again that the 2 of you come up with a new project
I'm sorry, sir. But that's not the point
Please
come right at the point
you don't have to be an intellectual property expert
to understand the difference between right and wrong
you're saying that I don't
of course I am not saying that sir
I'm saying that
really
sir
Ann
how did I get this appointment
Colleagues of their father
Let me tell you something, Mr. Winkle Voss, Mr. WinkleVoss
since you're on the subject of right and wrong
This action, this meeting
The 2 of you being here, is wrong
It's not worthy of Harvard
It's not what Harvard saw in you
You don't get special treatment
We never asked
Wai... Wai... start another project
Like we're making a diorama for a science fair
If you have a problem with that Mr. WinkleVoss
We never asked for special treatment
The courts always at your disposal
Is there anything else I can do for you
TY
Thank you very much for your time
OOPPPS
I broke a 335 year old door knob
Eduardo, spring break you and Mr. Zuckerberg took a trip to New York
Yes
What was the purpose of the trip
Well as CFO
I set up some meetings with potential advertisers
who paid for the trip
It was paid for out of the thousand dollar account I set up a few months earlier
at this point you're thousand dollars was the only money that had been put into the company
YES
How did you feel the meetings went
went terribly
why
Mark was asleep
I was not asleep
can I rephrase my answer
I wish he was asleep
so were at 29 schools now with over 75000 members
People who go on the Facebook tend stay on longer than almost
any other web site now here’s the most Impressive statistic
91% of the people who try it once come back, Now if you'll allow me
Excuse me one second
What sound are you making, is that like a tick
Wasn’t a tick
Was
Like throttle sound
Almost a gag reflex
What is this
There was 1 more meeting scheduled for the New York
YES
It was a dinner
It was setup through my girlfriend at the time
Would you say that Mark was excited about this meeting
YES
VERY
Their not gonna card us here right
Look around
don't be embarrassed
Tell him their not gonna card us
they’re not gonna card us
Mark
Are you gonna talk about adds again
Unless you're the BALLET THEATRE of HARTFORD, the purpose of business is to make a profit
It isn’t a business yet
that's tough.
It's not tough for me, It's my job
Never mind
25 minutes late
He started Napster, when he was 19
He can be late
He is not a God
What is he?
he's 25 minutes late
I think you're just jealous
I honestly wasn’t jealous
I was nervous
why
I didn't know him at all
But I had done a search and asked around and he
He struck me as a kind of an
WILDCARD
WHAT
He crashed out of two pretty big Internet companies in
spectacular fashion and he's got a reputation with drugs
He also founded the companies
We don't need him.
He's here.
I'm Sean Parker
How do you do
You must be Eduardo
and Christy, and Mark
Nice to meet you
You guys don't have anything in front of you
no
TORI
Hey, baby boy
Could you bring out something’s, The lacquered Pork with that ginger confit
Tuna tartar, and the lobster claws, that'll get us started
Christie
what do you like to drink
An Appletini
great
4 of those
From that point on it was a Shauathon
The question was what did you talk about
He took through his episode with NAPSTER
I didn't want to spend my 20's as a professional defender
Who knew that in the beginning of 2003-
They tried to sell the company to pay the 35 million they said
we owed in royalties but I guess to them that was a little like
Selling a stolen car to pay for the stolen gas
So we said screw it
and declared bankruptcy
You made a name for yourself
And you are dry
TORY
and then he went on to his second business venture
which was an online rolodex that he got thrown out of by his equity
and I wanted to do it nicely, I put on a tie and shined
my shoes, but nobody wanted to take orders from a kid.
So let me tell you what happened to a 20 year old the top of the DOT-COM
I'm not a psychiatrist.
We got that on the record.
you're not a psychiatrist, but what
a psychiatrist, would say that he was paranoid
They hired private detective who followed me day and night
There were targets for high priced escorts.
I can't prove it but I know they tapped my phone.
So I figured I'm gonna trip you up who's done all this
Private behavior is a relic of times gone by
and somehow, someway you've managed to live your life like the Dalai Lama but
but make shit up because
they don't want you they want your idea
and they want you to say thank you while
excuse me
wipe your chin and walk away
what happened to you
and delusional
YES
WHAT
There'll be payback in case I bought down the record
companies with NAPSTER and retribution for PLEXOR to
You didn't bring down the record companies.
Name one.
In court.
YEAH
You want to buy TOWER RECORDS Eduardo
He told story after story about
life in SILICON VALLEY, parties at STANFORD
down in LA friends who become Millionaires-
but mostly how Mark had to he had to come to California
and then he cut around to FACEBOOK
So tell me about your progress.
Well, were in twenty-nine schools now
we got over 75000 members.
Tell me about the strategy your using.
OK.
For instance we wanted BAYLOR in Texas, but BAYLOR already had a social network on campus so
instead of going right after them we made a list of every school within a hundred miles
Put the FACEBOOK on those campuses first
Pretty soon all the BAYLOR kids were seeing their friends on our site and we were in
It's called the little bighorn, It's smart Mark
Thanks that was mine
Hey you know what settle an argument for us
I say It's time to start making money through the FACEBOOK
but Mark doesn’t want to advertise
whose right
well neither of you yet
The FACEBOOK is cool that's what It's got going for it
you don't want to ruin it with adds, because adds aren’t cool
Exactly
It's like you're throwing the greatest party on campus
and someone saying It's gotta be over by 11
you don't even know what the thing is yet
How big it can get, How far it can go
This is no time to put you're chips down
A million dollars isn't cool, you know what's cool
YOU
A Billion dollars
It shut everybody up
and that's where you're headed
a billion dollar evaluation
unless you take bad advice in which case you might as well
have come up with a chain of very successful Yogurt shops
when you go fishing you can catch a lot of fish
or you can catch a big fish
You ever walk into a den and see a picture of him standing next to 14 trout
No he's holding a 3000 pound marlin
YEP
that's a good analogy
OK we all know that Marlins don't really weigh 300 pounds right
Have you seen the big ones up close
No I haven’t
But looking at the guy holding a Marlin the size of a Range Rover
that would be a really big fish and a very strong guy
I think you might be getting away from the point
I don't have a dog in this fight, I just came to say HI
He owned Mark after that dinner
He picked up the check and he told Mark that they would talk together soon
and he was gone, but not before he made his biggest contribution to the company
Drop the 'THE', just FACEBOOK
that's gotta be some kind of land speed record for talking
You want to end the party at 11
I'm trying to pay for the party
there won't be a party
unless It's cool
Yeah sure lets drop the'THE'
I meant catching the Marlin instead of 14 trout
doesn’t that sound good
If you're a trout
I'm going to enter this into the record, incorporation
papers for FACEBOOK and their also registered in Florida
why Florida
Well that's where my family lives
and ask the respondents to stipulate that the articles
of incorporation state the ownership as follows
65% for Mark Zuckerberg, 30% for Eduardo Severin and 5% for Dustin Markovitz
I'll stipulate
and that was April13th 2004
You can Mark it
Do you have anything here
Yes thank-you
Mr. Saverin have you ever done anything that might...
be considered as legitimate grounds for termination
NO
You've never did anything to embarrass the company or even seriously jeopardize it
NO
You were accused of animal cruelty
You weren’t
This is not happening
Well I have here an article from the Crimson
JESUS CHRIST
I can't have this Eduardo
Oh come on man, this is bullshit it another club playing a prank
I'd gotten into the PHOENIX
as a part of my initiation I had to for 1 week carry
with me at all times, and take care of a chicken
They identified you as 1 of the founders of FACEBOOK Jr. Eduardo Severin
I'm not the expert but I think torturing animals was bad for business
I did not torture the chicken, I don't torture chickens
are you crazy
no now settle down please
I have here an article from the Crimson
This is scathing
956
I was having dinner at the KIRKLAND dining hall, with Mark and I had the
chicken with me, cause I had to have the chicken with me at all times
This is College
Somebody is going to have to answer for this
969
The dining hall was serving chicken for dinner, so I had to feed my chicken,
so what... I took little pieces of chicken and I gave it to the chicken
Someone must have seen cause the next thing I knew, I was accused of forced cannibalism
I didn't know
you couldn’t do that
I dealt with various animal rights groups.
I dealt with the associate dean at the college.
This was all resolved.
988
Someone from the Fly or the Pork must have reported
it, for all I know it was the WinkleVoss's.
All right, let's just forget about it.
This is absurd.
I'm being accused of animal cruelty.
Next I'll be accused of necrophilia
It is better to be accused of necrophilia
I'm gonna have to explain this to my father, I'm goonna have to explain this to everybody
what is happening on that
I have my final coming up for 'Post War and Contemporary Art' and I haven’t been to class
I'm supposed to write about those 4 paintings
that's a FACEBOOK PAGE
YEAH
I put it under an ALIAS
I posted the paintings and asked people to comment.
Every once in a while I hop and stir the pot to get a good debate going
Was Mr. Zuckerberg cheating on his final exam
I. d rather not answer that question
and why not
cause I'm not suing him for cheating on his final exam
that's not what friends do
well you just told us he was cheating
OOPPS
You told you're lawyer I was torturing animals
No he didn't tell us about it at all our litigators
are capable of finding a Crimson article
In fact when we raised the subject he defended you
SO
993 we are so close
OH yeah that remind me
were gonna need more money
I agree more servers... apps
I'm interviewing 2 interns to come to PAULO ALTO and we are going to have to pay them something
sorry what
I already found a house for rent on a street 2 blocks from the STANFORD campus
It's perfect and It's gotta pool
When did you decide to go to California for the summer
You mean when did I actually decide
Somewhere in the middle of the Sean Parker variety hour
He was right California is the place we gotta be
What you're Jed Clampett
What you got the Beverly Hill Hillbillies in BRAZIL
What is your problem with Sean
He doesn't bring anything to the table
doesn't have money, Dustin is a better programmer
he's got connections
got connections to VC
If we need advertisers I have connections to VC
The real players and as someone whose just really embarrassed the company in a bad way
It was the WnkleVoss's Mark
Hang-on
hit refresh
150.000
150.000 members
Eduardo
Congratulations
You don't think it was strange that he was followed by private detectives
Who came up with nothing
enough to get him out of the company the drugs the girls
We don't know if any of that's true
Read about it
and I can read about you torturing birds, since when does reading about something
don't eat other fish, the Marlins and the Trout
what's he talking about
I'm interviewing interns at 10 tomorrow night in the CS lab
Get onboard with this man you know
I don't really know what else to say
what's going on
They have 10 minutes to get root access to a python webserver, expose
It's SSL encryption then intercept all traffic over Its secure port
Their hacking
All behind a PIX Firewall Emulator, but here’s the beauty
You know I didn't understand anything you just said right
I do know that
So what's the beauty
every 10th line of code written they have to take a shot
and hacking supposed to be stealth, so anytime the server detects
an intrusion, the candidate responsible has to take a shot.
I also have a program running that has a pop-up window appear simultaneously on all 5 computers.
The last candidate to hit the window has to take a shot.
Plus every 3 minutes they all have to take a shot
can I ask what part of the interns job will they need to be able to do drunk
you're right a more relevant test would be seeing if they can keep a chicken alive for a week
That was mean
HERE
WHAT IS THIS
I opened a new account and put 1800 dollars in it
will that get you through the summer
Welcome to FACEBOOK
18000 DOLLARS
Yes
In addition to the 1000 dollars you already put up
Yes
A total of 19, 000 dollars then
YES
just checking you're math on that
YES
I got the same thing
May I continue
After expressing misgivings about Mr. Zuckerberg taking the company and moving it to California
for the summer why did you put 18000 dollars in the account for his use
I figured we were partners
I wanted to be a team player
I figured Mark, Dustin and the new interns...
could work on the site while I was generating advertiser interest in New York
But mostly I figured
how much could possibly go wrong in 3 months
OK ready
sounds like an eight
That was like a 2
he's better than that
I'm OK
YOU SURE
that's the doorbell
I didn't know we had a doorbell
Andrew get the door
No he's wired in
that's gonna cut into the security deposit
MARK
You live here
YEAH
We live right across the street, we saw the chimney come
YEAH
Was anybody hurt
you look
We live across the street
I'm SHARON
This is my... Sharon she lives right across the street
I was helping her move out, we saw the chimney
Yeah we had a little accident by the pool
You came to California
You made the right choice
I'm so sorry
No problem
I didn't know you were gonna
No wait
This house and this team are great exactly what it should be
I'm Sean Parker
OH he's wired in
that's what I'm talking about
Where’s Eduardo
He got an Internship in New York
Eduardo didn't come out
I was crashing there for a little bit while I am taking care of something’s. But
she's done for the summer so she's back at her parents’ place and I'm homeless
You can crash at our place at PAULO ALTO
All right
what's your plan for the summer
I'm sorry I was looking at the architecture
I asked what you're plans were
honor school till the end of the summer
you're date looks so familiar to me
she looks familiar to a lot of people
what do you mean
wants to buy his wife some lingerie...
but he's to embarrassed to shop for it in a department store
comes up with an idea for a high end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert.
He gets a 40.000 dollars bank loan borrows another 40.00 thousand from his in-laws
Opens a store and calls it VICTORIA SECRET
Makes half million dollars the first year
So the guy opens 3 more stores and after 5 years he sells
the company to Leslie Wester limited for 4 million dollars
Happy ending right
2 years later the company is worth 500 million dollars
and Roy Raymond jumps off the Golden Gate bridge
Was that a parable
I date Victoria Secret models that's why she looks familiar to you
don't be Impressed with all this I read you're Blog
You know why I started NAPSTER
The girl loved in High School was with the co-captain of the varsity lacrosse team
and I wanted to take her from him.
So I decided to come up with the next big thing.
I didn't know that.
NAPSTER wasn't a failure I changed the music industry for better and for always.
It may not have been good business and it pissed a lot of people off.
and isn't that what your FACEMASH was about?
They're sacred of me pal and their gonna be sacred of you
and their gonna say good idea kid grown-ups are gonna take it from here
but not this time this is our time
This time you goona hand over a business card that says I'm CEO Bitch
that's what I want from you
So were the hell is Eduardo
he's in New York
sucking up to Ad Execs
he's got an Internship
The companies here, a billion dollar companies here
Do you ever read FACEBOOK
I know you do
Eduardo maybe a business manager and for all I know he'll be a good one but
He shouldn’t be in New York kissing Madison Avenues ass
This is a once in a generation holy shit idea
and the water under the Golden Gate is freezing cold
look at my face and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about
you ever think about that girl
what girl
the girl from high school... the lacross thing
no
All you got is till the end of the summer
tell you what you get into honour school I'll put you on 2 continents
You don't have a place to crash I think you should definitely come live with us

Who’s Eduardo Severin
When did you get back
You scared me, I need you to knock
When did you get back
I got back this afternoon
and when were you gonna call me
JESUS it was kind of a bad trip
and I was tired
or answer 1 of my 47 texts, did you know I sent 47 texts
I did and I thought that was incredibly normal behavior
are you mocking me
I bought you a present
Why does you're status say single on your FACEBOOK page
Why does your relationship status say single on your FACEBOOK page
I was single when I set up the page
and you never bothered to change it
what
I don't know
do I look stupid to you
no calm down
you're asking me to believe that the CFO of FACEBOOK doesn’t
know how to change his relationship status on FACEBOOK
a little embarrassing
You should take it as a sign of trust that I would tell you that
GO TO HELL
TAKE IT EASY
You didn't change to so you could SCREW those little SILICON VALLET SLUTS
that's not even remotely true and I can promise you that the SILICON
VALLEY SLUTS don't care about anybody’s relationship status on FACEBOOK
please open you're present
you're PHONE DOES WORK
It's Mark
UH open you present
It's a scarf
have you ever seen me wear a scarf
This'll be you're first
YEAH
You froze our accounts
I did
You froze the accounts
I had to get you attention Mark
Do you realize that you jeopardized the entire company do you realize that
your actions could have permanently destroyed everything I've been working on
WE'VE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
Without money the site can't function
OK let me tell you the difference between FACEBOOK and everyone else
We don't crash ever
If the servers are down for even a day our reputation is irreversibly destroyed
LOOK
Even a few people leaving would reverberate, through the whole
user database The users are interconnected that's the whole point
College kids are line cause their friends are online and if
one domino goes the other domino goes don't you get that
I am not going back to the Caribbean night of 85
HOLY SHIT
what's WRONG WITH YOU
did you like being nobody, Did you like being a joke, You want to go back to that
Hang on
That was the act of a child not a businessman
certainly not the act of a friend
You know how embarrassed I was to cash a check today I am not going back to that life
Maybe you were frustrated
maybe you were angry
I was
I am willing to let bygones be bygones cause Eduardo I've got some good news
I'm sorry I was angry and maybe it was childish
But I had to get your attention
I said I've got some good news
What is it
Peter Thiel has made an ANGEL INVESTMENT OF HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
and he's setting us up in an office
They want to re-incorporate the company
They want to meet you they need your signature on some documents, you
got get your ass on the first flight back to San Francisco, I need my CFO
I'm on my way
Eduardo
YEAH
WE DID IT
Eduardo
you're going back there already
and also I'm breaking up with you
4 documents the first 2 are common stock agreement purchases allowing you to buy stock
in the newly re-incorporated FACEBOOK instead of the old shares which are now worthless
the third is an exchange agreement allowing you to exchange old shares for new shares
and finally the voter holing agreement
how many shares of stock will own
1, 328, 334
that represents 34.4% ownership share
why the increase from the original 30%
because you may dilute to award shares to new investors
I love working with business majors don't you
You should know that Mark has already taken his 60 down to 51
Well Mark doesn’t care about the money and he needs to be protected
Dustin Markowitz down to 6.81% Sean Parker 6.47%
I can live with that
and Peter Thiel 7%
like to use my pen
Eduardo
can you please repeat the question
no it was an outrageously leading question the first time and now you want hear it twice
yes will you read it back please
go ahead
COUNSEL and were you aware that when you were signing these
documents that you were signing you're own death certificate
it was insanely stupid of me not to have lawyers look at all this stuff
In all honesty I thought they were my Lawyers
I was you're only friend
you had one friend
my father won't even look at me
OK Eduardo did Mr. Zuckerberg say anything to you after you had signed the papers
there was a lot of hand shaking a lot of congratulations
He already told me that he wouldn’t be coming back to school for at least a semester
we were saying good bye for a while
before I left he said you gotta come back
some time around the end of November, early December
Peter wants to throw as an amazing party when we hit a million
members, It's gonna be out of control you got to come back for it
million members
remember the algorithm
on the window at KIRKLAND
yeah I'll there
sure about this
you're 20 minutes late
You're gonna walk in there, say you overslept and you didn't have time to get dressed
They're gonna pitch you case equities, they're gonna
pitch you, Their gonna beg you take their money
you're gonna nod you're gonna nod...
and then you're gonna say which one of you is David Roth no not Roth Manningham.
which one of is Mitchel Manningham and he'll say I am and you say Sean Parker says FUCK YOU
In late November I got the e-mail from Mark telling
me to come out to the late million member party
what else did the e-mail say
it said that we had to have a business meeting
that Mark and Sean had played some kind of revenge stunt on CASE EQUITY
and Manningham was so Impressed that he was now...
making an investment offer that was hard to pin down
so I went to California and I went straight to the new offices
i didn't know whether to dress for the party or the business meeting
so I kinda dressed for both
but it didn't matter
why not
because I wasn’t called out there for either one
what were you called out there for
an ambush
Mr. Severin please
at first I thought he was joking
giving more contracts to sign
but then I started reading
well as you know we had some new investors that
what is this
MARK
he's wired in
how about now, are you still wired in
you issued 24 million new shares of stock
you were told that if new Investors came along
how much were you're shares diluted, how much were his
what were Mr. Zuckerberg's shares dilutes down to
it wasn't
what were Mr. Moscovitz's shares dilutes down to
It wasn't.
What were Sean Parkers shares dilutes down to.
It wasn't.
What were Peters Thiels shares dilutes down to?
It wasn't.
And what were you're ownership shares diluted down to
03 percent
You signed the papers.
You set me up.
You're gonna blame cause you were the business head of the company
and you made a bad business deal with your own company.
It's gonna be like I'm not a part of FACEBOOK.
won't be like you're not a part of FACEBOOK, you're not a part of FACEBOOK
my names on the MASTHEAD
you may want to check again
cause I froze the account
you think we were gonna let you parade around in your
ridiculous suit and pretending you were running this company
sorry my PRADAS at the cleaners
along with my hoodie and fuck-you flip flops
you pretentious douche bag
security’s here you'll be leaving now
I'm not signing those papers
well get your signature
tell me this isn’t about me getting into the PHOENIX
i knew you did it, you planted that story about the chicken
I didn't plant that story about the chicken.
What's he talking about.
You had me accused of animal cruelty.
Seriously, what the hell's the chicken?
What you hated most was that they identified me as a co-founder of Facebook.
Which I am.
You better lawyer up, asshole.
Cause I'm not coming back for thirty percent, I'm coming back for everything.
Hang on.
I almost forgot.
Here's your nineteen thousand dollars. I wouldn’t...
cash it though, I drew it on the account you froze.
I like sitting next to you Sean.
It makes me look so tough.
That's it that's our show for tonight people.
I want to see everybody here geared up for a party were going to walk into that club.
Like it's Macy's Thanksgiving days parade, Mackie...
put it up on the screen, we've gotta almost be there
You alright?
You were kinda rough with him.
That's life in the NFL.
You know you didn't have to be that rough on him?
I'm putting together a party.
SEAN
You didn't have to be that rough on him.
He almost killed it.
I'll send flowers.
Speaking of flowers I'm putting together a party after.
CAPPA PHI BETA
Ashleys over there
Ashley.
I know who she is.
Are you guys
Ashley and me no.
I won't go to the party.
Why?
Excuse me, Mark.
We were just talking about you.
You're doing a really good job.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
These came in for you.
Put it on my desk.
What's the package?
Nothing.
Mackie.
Yes, sir.
Refresh.
You gotta hugger.
I know.
One million.
Transformative, picture sharing application, a place where
you view pictures that coincide with your social life.
it is the true, the elevation of life
you go through the party with a digital camera and your friends re-live the party online.
and tagging the idea
would it be easier without the bra.
I spend hours watching people on while they check their friends status update
They can see when their friends change their profile, change their photos and mostly.
We lived on farms. And now we live in cities, and now were going to live on the internet
I think I hear my mother.
It's the cops.
Good to see you officer, what can I do for you?
What's going on?
Was the music too loud? We're having a conversation.
Miss, I need you to button your blouse
I can tell them to turn the music down.
Not mine.
Ok, were going to need identification
Keep your hands were we can see them.
You got anything else in your pockets I should know about
No no, sir.
Don't be stupid now... - I don't, I don't.
What's this?
An inhaler pump.
And this. - It's an inhaler.
How old are you?
21.
I'm 21.
Lying makes it worse.
I'm sorry I shouldn't have lied.
Listen, something has happened.
It's all right, were gonna be alright.
I've posted bond, I wasn't doing anything, I mean I got allergies.
Interns.
It was just a party.
This is gonna be news Sean, it's gonna be online.
i know.
You know with an underage intern.
It's cool, I have it under control.
I will get it under control.
I will call them and see what our next move is.
You don't think Eduardo was involved, do you?
You think... No.
Or Mannie one of them... somebody sent the coke 'cause it got in there.
You believe me?
I'm sorry.
Go home, Sean.
Mark.
We're done for the day.
Yeah, I was just -
What happened to Sean?
He still owns seven percent of the company.
He still all you had all day was that salad you want get something to eat.
I can't.
I'm not a bad guy.
I know that.
An emotional testimony I assume 85 percent of it is exaggeration.
And the other fifteen
perjury
Creations the work mostly of the devil.
What happens now.
CY and the others are having a steak on university avenue
then they'll come back to the office and work on a settlement deal without you.
They're gonna settle... Oh yeah.
AND you're GONNA HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE EXTRA
why?
So these guys sign a non-disclosure agreement.
They say one unflattering thing and you're going to jail.
I invented FACEBOOK.
I'm talking about a jury.
I specialize in voire-dire jury selection.
What a jury sees when they look at a defendant.
clothes, hair speaking style likability.
I've licensed to practice law for all of twenty months
and I could get a jury to believe you planted the story about Euardo and the chicken
watch what else.
Why weren't you at Sean’s sorority party that night?
You think I'm the one who called the police on him?
It doesn't matter.
I asked the question and now everybody is thinking about it.
You've lost your jury in the first ten minutes.
I was drunk, and angry and stupid
and blogging.
Pay them.
On the scheme of things just pay you're ticket.
That's a status update.
You think anybody would mind if I stayed and used the computer for a minute?
I don't think that would be a problem?
I appreciate your help today.
You're not an asshole Mark.
YOU'RE JUST TRYING SO HARD TO BE.
