When they let him go, they owed him over $20,000. It was in his contract. A written, legal document. Guess what: they haven't paid him, and they don't intend to, as lawyers letters have gone ignored. Imagine being cheap with $25M to the point where you don't respect contracts. One wonders what will happen when users try to take their money off the table.

Facebook was built with $28.5mill of VC capital so $25mil is very close to it. Lets see how far it gets them. I totally agree with you Heri that $25mil is alot of cash.

These days, you could build a company like facebook with that. Micheal Verveille and all of those private investors must be really confident in what they are doing I think $25 m is a lot of money.

Being a very wealthy individual he has funded most of the project as well as some of the private investors including his own employees.
