In 2010, Paul Ceglia of New York sued Mark Zuckerberg, claiming that Zuckerberg had given him a 50% stake in Facebook, now worth $29 billion. Ceglia presented a contract signed by Zuckerberg to bolster his claim.
Zuckerberg's signature is authentic, but he says it was for a freelance website coding contract he'd signed in 2003 while he was a freshman at Harvard.
U.S. marshals sent to Ceglia's Wellsville, New York, home found only the electronic monitoring bracelet that he was ordered to wear as a condition of his bail, his attorney, Robert Ross Fogg, said in a telephone interview Monday. Fogg was told about the disappearance of his client Sunday by the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan, he said.
"I don't know where he is," Fogg said. "I haven't got a clue."
