The Winklevoss twins (Cameron and Tyler), who alleged that Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for a social-networking service, don’t have the right to negotiate a better settlement ($65 million in cash and stock), the Federal appeals court decision said, as discussed by Stacey Delo with John Letzing.
