The bargain between the Winklevoss twins and Mark Zuckerberg stemmed from a legal dispute over the creation of Facebook. The twins claimed that Zuckerberg had stolen their idea for a social networking site called HarvardConnection. In 2008, they reached a settlement with Zuckerberg, receiving $20 million in cash and Facebook stock, which later appreciated significantly in value. This settlement was intended to resolve their claims and allow both parties to move on from the litigation.
