The matter has been settled, so there's little point in arguing the finer details about what happened between Zuck and the Twins. The point I'm trying to make is that the Twins could have avoided all of this if they had gotten off their damn boat and learned how to program themselves. If their idea was so damn revolutionary and game changing, they would have built it themselves or made Zuck sign an NDA. They fucked up, plain and simple. Zuck in the movie put it best (and I paraphrase): "They are just upset that for the first time in their lives things haven't gone exactly how they thought they would."

They weren't programmers. Some people just cannot, and never will be, software developers.

So, they 'fucked up' by hiring someone, and trusting that he was not lying to their faces and scheming behind their backs? I hope those aren't the morals you put to play in your own work.

That's kind of like saying Zuck should have trained hard and gotten on the Crew team so he could have "relations" with the female at the beginning of the movie.

Aslo The Winklevoss brother's insistence on acting as "men of Harvard", could have entirely changed the outcome. Had they immediately sued, the CFO would not let development continue and we would not have Facebook in its current form.

Also, they could have kicked the crap out of the guy, which, although illegal, can be pretty demotivating.

If the Winklevoss's claim had no merit, they would not have received $65 million in Facebook stock, nor would Zuck's attorney advise him against a jury trial.
