that's the beauty in it though. worth 6.9 billion with only 2,000 employees. so what if he stole the idea. he still won in court, and he's still the one making the cash. morally, he may be a total prick but he is a business genius. even if he stole the idea, he still made everything come together and evolved facebook into a cultural norm. he effectively changed the way the world communicates. can't say that for many college kids.
