Well, it depends who you ask. If you ask Zuckerberg, the answer will be no. But Facebook has had its fair share of scandals and controversies throughout its history, and one of the first is the accusation that Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea for Facebook from ConnectU (originally called HarvardConnection.com), which involved three Harvard seniors who were building a - wait for it - social network for Harvard. The three students - Divya Narendra and brothers Tyler & Cameron Winklevoss - accused Zuckerberg of pretending to help them build the social network they envisioned, but instead stealing their idea to create Facebook. After a 4-year-long legal battle, Facebook ended up paying each of the three accusers 1.2 million in shares. Since the lawsuit ended in a settlement that involved paying quite a big amount to the accusers, one might draw the conclusion that there may be some legitimacy to the claims.
