One for the Money, Two for the Show
By Thomas Gallant
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, the Winklevoss twins have had their latest lawsuit shot down. Take a look at the headlines and you’ll be sure to see that they were not able to get a revised settlement out of Facebook. Take an even closer look and you will see the stirring angry mob in the comments section of just about every article out there (and maybe this one by the time I’m done) letting fly their spiteful agreement with the courts and providing armchair suggestions on why the Twinklevii got more than they deserved.
I get the lack of sympathy, I really do. These guys are as blue-blood pedigree as it gets: Brunswick Academy > Harvard > Olympics > Oxford, likely with a hefty trust fund to boot. From what I hear, they aren’t bad looking either. There is no reason to feel sorry for them. However, in the case against Facebook I tend to side with their view.
