Subtitle: AXIS THE SIAMESE CAT
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 dont,I wasn't talking about China anymore, I was talking about here.
You got 1600?
Yes I can sing in a Acapella 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 womans perspective sometimes not being in an Accapella 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 was 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.
Okay, 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.
Okay.
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 more people in China with genius
IQ's than the entire population of»-
The Phoenix is the most diverse. The Fly Club, Roosevelt pinched the Pore.
Which one?
The Porcellian, the Porc, it's the best of the best.
I actually meant which Roosevelt.
Theodore.
Is it true they send a bus around to pick up girls who want to party wth the next -----
You can see why its 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 freind Eduardo made $300,000 betting on oil futures last summer and
Eduardo won't come close to getting the ability to make money doesn't impress anybody around here.
Must be nice.
He made $300,000 in a summer?
He likes meteorology.
I thought 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 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 where I have the best chance.
The one that's easiest to get into would be the one where anybody had 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. Okay? I was asking just to ask.
Mark, I'm not speaking in code.
Erica~—
You're obsessed with the finals clubs. You have finals clubs OCD and you need to see someone about this who'll prescribe some sort of medication. You don't care if side effects may include blindness,
Final clubs.
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.
All I'm saying I need to do something substantial in order to get the attentionof the clubs.
Why?
Because they're exclusive, and fun, and they lead to a better life.
You think Teddy Roosevelt got 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
We're 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 exhausting. 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 just 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.!
Do you 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 ofbeing 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
Listen. You're going to be a very succesful 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's 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 facehook 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 hotornot.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 limits the number of results to 20 a page­
All I have to is breakput the same script I used on Lowell and its 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 your search returns more then 20 matches nothing gets returned
Once you do get results they don't link directly to the images, they link to a php that redirects or something Weird
This maybe diffucult. I'll come back later.
Leverett is a little better. It's a lenghty search but you can do an empty search and gets links to pages with a precceding 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 its 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 girl a base rating of 1400. At any time "Girl A" has a rating R~a and "Girl B" has a 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.
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. What do you say?
At 4 in the morning
Well there is an unusual amount of traffic which occured.
You're saying its unusual for 4 in the morning?
No. This would be unusual for half time at the superbowl.
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 your called in front of the add board.
That's not what happened.
You weren't called in front of the administartive 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 dont.
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 embarassing Mr.Zuckerburg with the girls testimony from the bar.
I am not embarassed, she just made alot 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 anyway to make this a fair fight.
Jump out and swim.
We'd have to jump out and drown.
We are genectically identical we would stay in one place.
Just row the damn boat.
You hear about this?
What
Two nights ago, a software choked the network with a laptop from Kirkland.
At 4AM
He set up a website where 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 universty policy on distribution of digitised images.
Before we begin with our questioning, your allowed to make a statement, Would you like to do so?
Uh ... I have already apologised in the Crimson, to the AVHW
To "Harvard Latino Women's Association", and to any woman 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.
Excuse 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 then 4 hours.
- Four hours?
Yes sir.
That would be impressive except if you'd known what you are looking for you would seen 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 gods 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:
Okay, lets 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 0x0400
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 your 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 gotta minute.
Great.
- Have you ever beeninside the Porcile
No.
We can not take you past the---- cause your not a member
That hurt.
- Sandwich or something?
- Uh, okay
- Mark right?
- Yea
- Mark, this is Di Weiya • Narendra, our partner
Hi
We're really impressed with "Facemash"
We checked you out. You also built "CourseMatch"
What is "CourseMatch"
You go online and see what courses your freinds are taking.
Really harmless.
- Mark?
- Yeah?
We were talking about "CourseMatch"
Kind of a no brainer.
You invented something in high school too, right?
Asked for an MP3 player, that recognises your taste in music.
Any body try to buy it?
Microsoft
How much?
Didn't sell it, I uploaded 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 is called "the Harvard connection"
You can create your own page, interests, bio, freinds
Then people can go online and see your bio.
Requests ... ...
Yeah How is that different then "MySpace" and "Freindster"
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 were 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 your image.
Wow. You would do that for me?
We'd like to work with you.
Our first program graduated and went to work for Google.
Our second programer is overwhelmed with school work.
We would need you to build the site, write the code we will provide ...
I'm in
What
I'm in
Awsome
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 remeber answering in the affirmative.
The affirmative.
When I did you come to Eduardo with the idea for Facebook.
It was called "The Facebook" then.
This doesn't need to be that diffucult.
I'm currently in the middle of two different lawsuits
Did you answer affirmatively?
When Taylor and Cameron Winklevoss Did 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 there hot, there smart, they are not Jewish, they can't dance.
Hey Mark is here!
Mark
I think I've come up with something
I have to tell you something your not going to believe
Come on
I got pinched by the "Phoenix Club"
Are you kidding?
It's the first in a 4 step process
Send the invitation on monday
My first punch party tommorow
You got pinched 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.
20 degrees outside
I can't stair at that thing Niagra Falls, it has nothing to do with the Carribean
People came to "Facemash"-----, right?
It wasn't because hey 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 ot check out their freinds so why not build a web site that offers them freinds, 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. But Eduardo!
"It would be exclusive."
You would have to know the people on the site to get past your own page like.
Getting pinched.
That's good
It's like "Final Club", except we're the 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 freinds to join.
In a world where social strucrure 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 roomates.
Dustin Moscovitz, Chris Hughes 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.
You're CFO
And you said?
I said, "lets do it"
Okay. Did he add anything else?
Yes
It probably was a diversity thing
So what.
Why you think he said that?
Gretchen, excuse me for interupting, whos 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 pinched 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 we're 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 recognise 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, Dedre 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 freinds, knew about getting people interested
In the website than these guys.
These guys means my clients
Yes
Yes he resented, Mark resented that
They your 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 alot of notoriety FaceMash did exactly what he wanted to do.
Were you aware that while Mr. Zuckerberg was building the "Facebook" He was also communicating wth 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 Zujerburg to Tyler Winklevoss November 30, 2003, I read over all the stuff you sent me RE: Harvard Connection
And it seems like it should'nt take to long to implement
So we can talk about it after I get all the basic functionality up tommorrow night
From Mark Zujerburg 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 Zujerburg to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss December 10, 2003
This week has been pretty busy, between Harvard, classes and work."
So I think its probably best to postpone the meeting.
I'm also really busy tommorow
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 a MySQL 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 Zuckerburg to Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss
And Deidre Nreanada
Dec 15 2003
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 tommorow 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 yor 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.
Freind of the scupture Daniel Chester.
Keep your jacket on.
39 days after Mr.Zucermans initial meeting with my clients.
And he still hasn't completed work on Harvard Connection.
But on Jan 11 2004
Mr.Zuckerburg 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 sceptical that we have enough fuctionality in the site to really draw the attention
And to gain the criticla mass neccessary 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.Zuckberg
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 godamn idea!
Fellas
- How's dot-com sites 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
Lets continue
February 4, 2004 -

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 to connect with different social networks
Must have an Harvard .EDU adress 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 alot about Universal Facebook withing Harvard
Meaning what
I think its kind of silly that it would take the universty 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 TheFacebook.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 couldn't give free drugs to 650 people in a day
This guy doesn't have 3 freinds to rub together
To make a fourth
Alright, yes, thats what we'll do Mr. Hotchkiss
Well put it all together and we'll 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 hes very bright and I'm sure he didn't mean to...
Wow!
What he did
Well thank you very much and dad...
I love you too.
This is a good guy?
We don't know that hes 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 and apparently you don't
Which is that getting there first is everything
I'm a competitve 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 its appropriate, hes 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 2 of us
Well, whatever I'm saying lets calm down until we know what were 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
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
Exactly what we said to him
- Hes 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
We're not suing
Why not?
Again. Why not?
He's gonna say stupid
Me?
Say it, why not?
Because we are gentlemen of Harvard
This is Harvard, where you don't plant stories, and you don't sue people
You thought he was gonna 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 for a family of means?
A Family of means?
Did you know their father was wealthy?
I not sure why your 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 weather 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 its 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 demnstrated 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 Investers Association, and he was also my best friend
Your best friendis 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 adrssing him as Mr. Savarin?
Gretchen their best freinds
Not anymore
We already went through this never mind ...
Mr. Savarin, what happened after the initial launch
It exploded
Everybody on Campus was using it. Facebook me had become a common expression
And 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 2 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 im in your OS class
Sure
Awsome job with the Facebook
Awsome
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
Alright thanks guys
You want to walk
What were their names?
You hear what I just said?
What
I said its time to monify the site
What does that mean?
It means, its 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
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 its 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 its 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 then mildly annoying
They find it to be intellectual property theft
Why didn't you show this to me?
It was adressed 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 fathers house counsel
Do they have grounds?
The grounds are our thing is cool, and popular, and "Harvard Connection" is lame
Euardo 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 whos ever built a a chair
Look they came to me with an idea... I had a better one.
Why don't you show me this letter?
I didn't think it was a big deal
If there something wrong
If there's 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.
Where 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 successfuly 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 metting in January to which this letter is refering
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 email 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 your 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 12:45, why don't we say that's lunch
Back at Two thirty
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
Okay
We got a quickie
I'll be right back
Where are you going?
Erica?
Hi
I saw you from over there, I didn'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, that "Erika • Albright" is a bitch
Right before you made an ignorant crack about my families name
My bra size, and then rated women based on their hotness
Erica is there a problem
No there's no problem
You right your 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 don't want to be rude to my friends
OK
Good luck with your video game
Yeah that was great, that was the right thing to do. You apologised, right?
We have to expand
Tomorrow?
Is he mad about something
OK we are expanding to 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 compenstaion 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 secoud year associate at the firm
My boss wanted me to sit in on the deposition case
What are you doing?
Checking to see how its going in Bosnia
Bosnia
There are enough roads, but they are on Facebook?
You must really hate the Winklevosses?
I don't hate anybody
The Winklevai are suing me for intellectual property theft
They're 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, its gonna be in the Cromson tommorow
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 injuctif realeasing it, the site taken down now.
Every minute the site is up, Harvard Connection becomes less valuable
I want an injuction, I want damages, I want punitive release
I want him dead
Yeah I want those things too
Then why aren't we doing anything about it
Because we are a gentleman at Harvard?
Because your 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 Massachusets state law
He goes to Connecticut, New York and to California he will have violated federal law
By the way hes in violation of Harvard law
Theres no such thing as Harvard law
Yeah
There is
Harvard student hand book
Every freshman is issued one of these
Some where 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 trophys for this school
And well be rowing in the Olympics for this school
I want a meeting with the godamn 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
Your father's in commercial real estate and your mothers never sober
What's my major
Trombone
Really
I don't know. There's something about a trombone
French
Your major's French
I didn't have one
Mine? I don't have one
Not picking a major?
I don't go to school
You're kidding
No
Where did you go to school?
William Taft Elementary
For a little while
Seriously
You're not like 15 years old or anything, are you?
You're not like 15, are you?
No
So what do you do?
I'm an entrepreneur
You're unemployed
I wouldn't say that
What would you say
That I'm an entrepreneur
Well then what was your entrepreneur
Well I founded an Interent 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
You're Sean Parker?
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
Ther's not a lot of money in free music and even less if your being sued by anyone who's been to the Grammies
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 whos 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 abit
What's that?
The Facebook?
Stanford's had it for like 2 weeks now
It's really awsome, 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
Everythings great
I just need to find you Mark Zuckerberg
Ever been in this building before
This buildings a hundred years older then the country its in.
So do be careful
We're 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 franchise
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 standars of conduct in the Harvard comunity
It says the college expects all the students to be honest
And forthcoming in their dealings with members in the community
Stundents are required to respect public and private ownership
And instances of theft, missappropriation
- Anne?
Yes sir?
Punch me in the face, go ahead
Or
Or unauthorised use will result in
Disciplinary action
Including required withdrawl from the college
You memorised that instead of doing what
What my brother came and
I came here to ask you respectfully
Sir its 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 Ad Board won't hear us
Have you tried dealing with the other student directly
Mr. Zuckerburg 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, I, I saw him and I know he saw me, I went after him
And he disapeaared
I don't see this as a universty issue
Of course its a a universty 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 Summers what you just said makes no sense to me at all
I'm devestated by that
What my brother means is
Mark Zuckerburg walked into our dorm room and stole our computer
That would be a universty issue
I don't know this office doesn't handle petty larceny
This isn't petty larceny
This idea is potentialy worth millions of dollars
Millions
Yes
You might just be letting your imaginations run away with you
Sir
I honestly don't think your in any position to make that call
I was the US Treasury secretary
I'm in some position to make that call
"Letting our imagnations run away with us "
Is exactly what we were told to do in your Freshaman address?
Well then I would suggest that you let your imaginations
Run away with you on a new project
You would
Everyone at Harvard is inventing something
Harvard undergarduates believe that inventing a job is better than finding a job.
So I suggest again that the two of you come up with a new, new project
I'm sorry, sir. But that's not the point
Please
Come right at the point
You don't have to be a 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. Winklevoss ,Mr. Winklevoss
Since your on the subject of right and wrong
This action, this meeting
The two 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 broka a 335 year old door knob
Eduardo, spring break you and Mr. Zuckerburg 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 your thousand dollars was the only money that had been put into the company
Yes
How did you feel the meetings went?
I went terribly
Why?
Mark was asleep
I was not asleep
Can I repharse my answer
I wish he'd been asleep
So we're at 29 schools now with over 75000 members
People who go on the Facebook tend stay on longer then almost any other web site. Now, here's the most impressive statistc
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 one more meeting scheduled for the New York
Yes
It was a dinner
It was setup through my girlfreind at the time
Would you say that Mark was excited about this meeting
Yes
Very
They're not gonna card us here right
Look around
Don't be embarrsed
Tell him their not gonna card us
Their not gonna card us
Mark
Are you gonna talk about adds again
Unless your 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, Its my job
Never mind
It's 25 minutes late
He started Napster, when he was 19
He can be late
He is not a God
What is he?
Hes 25 minutes late
I think your 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 hes 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 some things, The laquered 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 professinal defender
Who knew that the music industry doesn't have a sense of humour.
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 whos done all this
Private behaviour is a relic of times gone by
And somehow,someway you've managed to live your life like the Dali 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
They won
In court
Yeah
You want to buy Tower Record, Eduardo?
He told story after story about
Life in Silicon Valley, parties at Stanford
Down in LA freinds 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 29 schools now
We got over 75000 members
Tell me about the strategy your using
OK
For intance 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 capuses first
Pretty soon all the Baylor kids were seeing their freinds on our site and we were in
It's called the little bighorn, its smart Mark
Thanks that was mine
Hey you know what settle an arguement for us
I say its time to start making money through the Facebook
But Mark doesn't want to advertise
Who's right?
Well neither of you yet
The Facebook is cool that's what its got going for it
You don't want to ruin it with adds, because adds aren't cool
Exactly
It's like your throwing the greatest party on campus
And someone saying its 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 your 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 succesful Yogurt shops
When you go fishing you can catch alot 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 hes holding a 3000 pound marlin
Yep
That's a good analogy
OK we all know that Marlins don't really wegh 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 RangeRover
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 landspeed 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 its cool
Yeah sure lets drop the "The"
I meant catching the Marlin instead of 14 trout
Doesn't that sound good
If your 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 were my familiy lives
And ask the respondents to stipulate that the articles of incorporation state the ownership as follows
65% for Mark Zuckberg, 30% for Edurdo Severin and 5% for Dustin Markovitz
I'll stipulate
And that was April 13th 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 embarass the company or even seriously jepardise it?
No
You were accused of Animal cruelty
You weren't
This is not happenning
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 as 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 wha.. 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 cannabilism
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 Porc must have reported it, for all I know it was the Winklevoss's
Alright lets just forget about it
This is absurd
I'm being accused of animal cruelty
Next I'll be accused of necrophelia
It is better to be accused of necrophelia
I'm gonna have to explain this to my father , I'm goonna have to explain this to everybody
What is happenning 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 awhile I hop and stir the pot to get a good debate going,
Was Mr. Zuckberg 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 freinds do
Well you just told us he was cheating
Oopps
You told your 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
Oopps
993 we are so close
Oh yeah, that reminds me....
We're gonna need more money
I aggree more servers.. apps
I'm interviewing two 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 its got a 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 your Jed Clampett
What you got the Beverly Hill Billbillies in Brazil?
What is your problem with Sean
He doesn't bring anything to the table
Doesn't have money, Dustn's 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 who's just really embarrased the company in a bad way
It was the Winklevosses, mark
Hang-on

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...
Dont eat other fish, the Marlins and the Trout
What's he talking about
I'm intervieing interns at 10 tommorow 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 its SSL encryption then intercept all traffic over its secure port
They're hacking
All behind a PIX Firewall Emulator, but heres the beauty
You know I didn't understand anything you just said right
I do know that
So whats 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 relavant 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 acount and put 18,000 dollars in it
Will that get you through the summer
Welcome to Facebook
18,000 dollars
Yes
In addition to the 1000 dollars you already put up
Yes
A total of 19,000 dollars then
Yes
Just checking your math on that
Yes
I got the same thing
May I continue
After expressing misgivings about Mr. Zuckerburg taking the company and moving it to California
For the summer why did you put 18,000 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
Hes better then that
I'm OK
You sure?
That's the doorbell
I didn't know we had a doorbell
Andrew get the door
No hes 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 anbody 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 talkin about
Where'0s Eduardo
He got a Internship in New York
Eduardo didn't come out
I was crashing there for a little bit while I am taking care of somethings. But she's done for the summer so shes back at her parents place and I'm homeless
You can crash at our place at Paulo Alto
Allright
What's your plan for the summer
I'm sorry I was looking at the architecture
I asked what your plans were
Honour school 'til the end of the summer
Your date looks so familiar to me
She looks familiar to alot of people
What do you mean
Wants to buy his wife some lingerie but hes to embarased 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 dollar bank loan, borrows another 40.000 thousand from his inlaws
Opens a store and calls it Victorias Secret
Makes a half million dollars the first year
So the guy opens 3 more stores and after 5 years he sells the compant to Leslie Wester Unlimited 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 Victorias Secret models. That's why shen looks familiar to you
Don't be impressed wtih all this. I read your blog
You know why I started Napster
The girl loved in High School was with the co-captain of the Varsity Lacross 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 alot of people off
And isn't that what your FaceMash was about
They're scared of me, pal, and they're gonna be scared of you
And they're gonna say "Good idea kid, grown-ups will take it from here"
But not this time this is our time
This time, you're gonna hand over a business card that says "I'm CEO, Bitch"
That's what I want from you
So where the hell is Eduardo
Hes 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 wants to be a business manager, and for all I know, he'll be a good one
But he shoudn'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 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
Let's line up some shots
Excuse me
Can you take this away and bring back the 1922
Absoloutely Mr. Parker
Tayler
Oh and this is my brother Cameron
His Royal highness Prince Albert, Your highness this is Cameron and Taylor Winklevoss
Of course brilliant race
I've never seen a race that close
My grandfather Jack Kelly was one of the premiere rowers
I've been coming to Henley for 30 years and I've never seen a race that close
Have you have you seen a race that close
Mile and a half races are more commonly won by a boat length or two
Yes that's absloutely right
Brutally close
May I introduce my team...
I'm sorry you haver to excuse us
We flew all the way out here to do that
Wouldn't of missed it brother
Hows the royalty
Ah he just wanted to tell me a couple of times how close the race was
Brutally, brutally excruciating
Cam the guys the prince of a country the size of Nantucket, relax, it's fine
Mr. Winklevoss
That was a tough beat
I'm sorry dad you and Mom had to fly all this way to see this
No son, never apologise to me for loosing a race like that
I'd never apologise to anyone for loosing a race like that
Mister Kenright
Dad, this Mister Kenright part of our host family this week
Pleasure to meet you, Pleasure to meet you
I just had a fun chat with my daughter
She told me that she and her freinds are already talking about the race
Which they've just seen via their computers.
A new website called Facebook,
Do you have this in America
I'm gonna find your mother
Did I do something wrong
Your daughter doesn't go to school in the states
No, no, Cambridge, majoring in french literature,
Though I wasn't aware there was such a thing
They have Facebook at Cambridge
And apparently Oxford and the London School of Economics
For the present
Good race boys. Live to fight another day
Somebody watch my stuff
Going online are we
I want to see it
What are you doing
Knock it off
I don't mind that we lost to the Dutch by less then a second
That was a good race
And that was a fair race, that was good race
What I mind and you should mind
Showing up on Monday for a race that was run on Sunday
We tried talking to him ourselves, we tried writing a letter, we tried the add board, and we tried talking to the president of the university
Now I am asking you
For the last time
Lets take the considerable resources at our disposal and sew him in Federal court
Come on
I need a real drink
Screw it
Lets gut the friggin nerd
But check it out, I saw him today
Manningham, Mitchel Manningham
Are you guys the Wallhacks or Aimbots
We don't know were just shooting at each other
Use the kamikaze
Like we know what that is
I saw him getting into his Turbo Carrera and he saw me to
I know he did
Don't frank I want to go on-line
Does anybody here that banging
You don't hear anything your writing code
Hey somebody's at the door
I'm gonnna call you back
What's up
Mark was supposed to pick me up at the airport an hour ago, I've been calling his cell
He was on a 36 hour coding tear so he took a nap for a few hours
What happened here
Not happened, happening
Next big thing
Eduardo
Hey man, back to work
Sorry about it, its the more wasted I get
I meant the more....
We understand
How old are they sean
It's not polite to ask
Sean how old are they
You think you know me right
I've read enough
You know how much I've read about you
Eduardo
I waited an hour for you from the airport
What time is it
Midnight, it was 3am in New York where I just came from
You got to see some of the new stuff we got
Dustin show him the wall, I'm just calling it the wall
Forget the wall, tell him about the meeting I got setup
You know Peter Thiel
Nope
No reason you should, he just runs a 2 billion dollar hedge fund called Clarium Capital.
Why's he setting up meetings for you
Thiel may want to make an angel investment
I don't care if hes an actual angel, why is he setting up business meetings
You've had a long flight
No I had a long wait at Tarmac at JFK, then a long wait at the passenger loading and unloading zone at SFO,
And in between there was a log flight
I'm the business end of this company
And he is a house guest living here rent fre
With a very generous grant from the Eduardo Severin Foundation
I heard about your big ticket add buys "Jerry's Tuxedos"
Hey man
Harvard Bartending course, You're just one small step away from bagging snookies Cookies, yeah I can feel it
Can I talk to you alone for a minute
Sure
Uh, bong hit
I'm so high
How's it going, how's the internship, how's Christy
How's the internship?
Mark, Jesus, I quit the internship we talked about this on the phone. Were you even... I quit on my first day
I do rememebr you saying that
Yeah
Christy's crazy
Is that fun?
No
Psychotic, she's insanely jealous, she's irrational
And I'm frightened of her
Still, it's nice you have a girlfreind
I do not want that guy
Representing himself as part of this company
You got move out here. Wardo, this is where it's all happening
Did you here what I just said
The connections, the energy
Mark, Mark
I'm afraid if you don't come out here your going to be left behind
I want, I want, I need you
What did you just say
It's growing faster then any of us imagined it be
It's moving fast and Sean thinks that we should...
Sean's not part of this company
We have over 300 thousand members, we're in 160 schools
I'm aware
Including 5 in Europe
I'm aware of that Mark
Mark, I'm the CFO!
We need more programmers and we need more money and he setup the Thiel meeting
Hes setup meetings all over town
Setup other meetings
Yes
Without me knowing anything about it
You're in New York
I'm in in New York riding subways 14 hours a day. Try explaining that to me
Yeah and hows it going so far
What did you mean "get left behind"
I'd like to freeze this bank account and cancel all existing checks and lines of credit
May I see some ID please
Yeah, sure
Sean, he'll be right with you
You know this where they filmed Towering Inferno?
Hey guys, come on back
Did she offer you some water
Oh yeah, we're cool
You must be Mark
We took a look at everything and congratulations
We're gonna start you off with a 500 thousand dollar investment
Maurice is going to talk to you about some corporate restructuring
We'll file as a corporation in Deleware
We've come up with a sound structure that will allow us to invest
Now, let me ask you something
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 behaviour
Are you mocking me
I bought you a present
Why does your 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 embarassing
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 ot so you could screw those little Silicon Valley sluts
That's not even remotely true and I can promise you that the Silicon Valley sluts don't care about anybodys relationship status on Facebook
Please open your present
Your phone does work
Its Mark
Uh, open you present
It's a scarf
Have you ever seen me wear a scarf?
This'll be your first
Yeah
You froze our accounts
I did
You froze the accounts
I had to get you attention Mark
Do you realise that you jepardised the entire company? Do you realise that your actions could have permanetly destroyed everything I've been working on?
We have been working on
Without mone, the site can't function
OK let me tell you the difference between Facebook and everybody 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 freinds are online and if one domino goes, the other domino goes, don't you get that?
I am not going back to the Carribean night of 85
HOLY SHIT
WHATS 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 freind
You know how embarssed I was to cash a check today I am not going back to that life
Yeah
Maybe you were frustrated
Maybe you were angry
I was
I am wiiling 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
Four documents, the first two are common stock agreement purchases, allowing you to buy stock in the newly re-incorporated Facebook, as opposed to 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 aggreement
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 when you signed these documents, were you aware that you were signing your own death certificate?
It was insanely stupid of me not to have my own lawyers look at all this stuff
In all honesty, I thought they were my Lawyers
I was your only freind
You had one freind
My father won't even look at me
OK. Eduardo, did Mr. Zuckerburg say anything to you after you signed the papers?
There was alot of hand shaking and alot of congratualtions
He'd already told me that he wouldn't be coming back to school for at least a semester
So we were saying good bye for awhile
Before I left he said, "but you gotta come back"
Somewhere around the end of November, early December
Peter wants to throw as an amazing party when we hit a million members, its gonna be out of control, you gotta come back for it
A million members?
Remember the algorythm
On the window at Kirkland
Yeah, I'll be here
You're 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 your. Case Equities, they're gonna pitch you. They're gonna beg you to 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 Michel Manningham", and he'll say "I am" and you say "Sean Parker says 'Fuck you!'", walk out
In late November I got the e-mail from Mark, telling me to come out to the late million member party 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 weather 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!
Hes 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 your shares diluted, how much were his
What were Mr. Zuckerbergs shares dilutes down to
It wasn't
What were Mr. Moscovtz's shares shares dilutes down to
It wasn't
What were Sean Parkers shares shares dilutes down to
It wasn't
What were Peters Thiels shares shares dilutes down to
It wasn't
And what were your 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
Its gonna be like im not a part of Facebook
Won't be like your 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 are at the cleaners
Along with my hoodie and fuck-you flip flops
You pretensious douche bag
Securty'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
Whats he talking about
You had me accused of animal cruelty
Seriously what the hells 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 30%, I'm coming back for everything
Hang on
I almost forgot
Heres your 19 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
Thats 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 its Macys Thanksgiving days parade, Mackie put it up on the screen,we've gotta almost be there
You alright
You were kinda rough with him
Thats life in the NFL
You know you didn't have to be that rough on him
I'm putting together a party

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

Mackie

Refresh

1 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 throught the party with a digital camera and your freinds re-live the party on-line
And tagging the idea
Would it be easier without the bra
I spend hours watching people on while they check their freinds status update
They can see when their freinds 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 interent
I think i hear my mother

And the other 15
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 start working on a settlement agreement to present to 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 aggrement, they say one unflatering word about you in public, and you're goint to jail
I invented Facebook
I'm talking about a jury
I specialise in voire-dire jury selection
What a jury sees when they look at a defendant
Clothes, hair, speaking style, likability
I've been licenced to pratice law for all of 20 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 Seans sororty 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 10 minutes
I was drunk and angry and stupid
And bloging
Pay them
In the scheme of things, just pay your ticket
That's what CY will tell you tomorrow
Do you think anybody would mind if i stayed and used the computer for a minute?
I can't imagine that would be a problem
I appreciate your help today
You're not an asshole Mark
You're just trying so hard to be!
