: Legal Pad | LANo "only my friends" privacy settings in Quinn Emanuel brochure
By Richard Binder
Facebook paid the founders of ConnectU $65 million to settle lawsuits accusing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg of stealing the idea for the wildly successful social-networking Web site, according to a law firm's marketing brochure.
Lawyers in the heavyweight fight had expended great effort to keep the settlement secret, even going as far as persuading a judge to clear the courtroom of reporters on one occasion. But ConnectU's former lawyers from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges published the settlement amount in a firm advertisement trumpeting the firm's prowess.
"WON $65 million settlement against Facebook" appears, along with dozens of other Quinn outcomes from last year, in the firm's January business litigation newsletter.
The disclosure was apparently inadvertent.
See here and here for details, plus here for official firm reaction.
