Exactly. They have a Harvard education, more riches than they could spend in a lifetime and still all they want to do with their lives is act like money-grubbing losers.
I don't think this is true of anyone, even Warren Buffett or Bill Gates.
It's really difficult to let someone get away with stealing from you. The Winkelvoss twins may feel they've been legitimately slighted, since it would seem they're not just in it for the cash.

I meant that as a figure of speech of course :)

Yes it must hurt, but they received adequate compensation. The point however is that they could be doing something more productive with their time. They'll go nowhere trying to bring Zuckerberg or Facebook down.
After The Social Network portrayed them in a good light and Zuckerberg as a thief, you'd think they'd feel vindicated. But that hasn't stopped them from throwing more lawsuits demanding money.

While that is true, "feeling" slighted is no excuse for the colossal waste of time they're afflicting upon our court system and Facebook as a company.
I have personal experience sitting across the table from a plaintiff who refuses to come to grips with reality. They "believe" they were wronged, despite the evidence, despite the rulings, and despite common sense.
Litigation expenses have become a tax that we have to pay in order to conduct business. It's maddeningly frustrating to write checks to lawyers for tens of thousands of dollars, knowing that the time, energy, and money could have gone in to your product.
What I'm getting at is, it is equally, if not more, frustrating to sit where Mark Zuckerberg's is. The Winkelvoss twins don't get a pass from me for being complete douchebags, just because they "feel" wronged.
