Facebook 'tricked men out of millions'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Three men who claim that the founder of Facebook stole their idea for the website appeared in court yesterday, claiming they were deceived out of millions of dollars in a previous $65m (£42m) legal settlement.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss received $20m in cash and $45m in shares. Those shares are now worth $140m, but they claim they were undervalued and should in fact be worth $600m today, something Facebook disputes. Another man, Divya Narendra, is also contesting the valuation.
