Winklevoss twins to continue legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg

In a 2008 settlement with social networking titan Facebook, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss garnered a windfall now estimated at more than $140 million (R625 crore) over charges that founder Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea. But now they want to undo that settlement, claiming they are owed moreu00a0-- perhaps $500 million (R2,200 crore), The New York Times reports.

This month, the twins and another Harvard student, Divya Narendra, plan to ask a federal appeals court in San Francisco to undo the deal so they can pursue their original case against Facebook and Zuckerberg, and win a richer pay day. They could, though, lose it all.
