Update: We have received the following information from Facebook's PR representative in the UK: "
There is no new litigation between Facebook and the Winklevosses. The only recent litigation activity is when the Winklevosses recently lost their malpractice action against their former law firm, Quinn Emmanuel. The filings referred to in the Daily Mail and other articles are simply the filings by Facebook and the Winklevosses in the Winklevosses' now two-year old, thus far unsuccessful, attempt to undo their 2008 agreement to settle the parties' dispute."
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, the twins who already launched one lawsuit against FacebookFacebook
, claiming that Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for a social network, are now suing Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg again.
Even though the first lawsuit ended with a $65 million settlement, the Winklevosses now claim that Zuckerberg lied to them about the value of Facebook and is guilty of securities fraud, demanding an unspecified amount of (extra) money.
