Paul Ceglia - Facebook friend or foe?
WELLSVILLE — Paul Ceglia claims to own 50 percent of Facebook.
Based on a Goldman Sachs valuation of the social-networking colossus, that would make him worth $25 billion and rank 13th on the Forbes list of the world’s richest people.
On the streets of Ceglia’s hometown, he and his lawsuit are only worth eye rolls and wary chuckles from folks who prefer to be diplomatic. Many who know Ceglia aren’t so polite.
“The whole time I’ve ever known him, he was into conning people,” said Ira Warboys, a Wellsville High School classmate of Ceglia. “Any way he could make easy money, that’s what he did for a living.
“He can talk a real good story, but in the long run, he’s nothing but a joke.”
It seems that Paul Ceglia is rather well-known in his hometown and I don’t mean that in a good way. Owner of 50% of Facebook? Riiiiight.
