More emails could be released in the lawsuit filed by a New York businessman, named Paul Ceglia, to claim 50 per cent of world’s most popular social-networking site Facebook, FoxNews. com reported.
FoxNews reported that Paul Ceglia’s chief legal advisor Robert Brownlie told it, “There are more emails.” When asked if they would be a part of the case, Brownlie added, “That’s possible at some point.”
On the other hand, attorney Orin, which is representing Facebook, described the so-called emails as ‘bogus,’ and added that emergence of the more emails would deepen the fraud.
Orin called Ceglia a convicted crook.
Last year, Ceglia filed a suit claiming Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had signed a contract with him giving him 50 per cent of the site. But, most legal experts dismissed Ceglia's claims as weird, but he recently filed new documents along with emails allegedly written by Zuckerberg to support his claim.
One of the alleged emails from Zuckerberg states, "According to our contract I owe you over 30% more of the business in late penalties which would give you over 80% of the company. I'd like to suggest that you drop the penalty completely and that we officially return to 50/50 ownership."
Currently, Facebook has a market value of more than $50 billion.
