New Yorker and businessman Paul Ceglia is the man who's been trying since 2010 to claim half of the Social Network Giant Facebook. Ceglia claims that a contract signed in 2003 between himself and Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg gives him 50% legal ownership of the Social Network Giant.

Ceglia who has now gone through a series of lawyers, has now hired a new lawyer to act on his behalf.

Back in June 2010, Ceglia filed his first claim against Facebook, and at the time he was claiming 84% ownership, Ceglia was even reported to have passed a polygraph test.

Back in 2003, Ceglia claims he hired Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to develop a website "StreetFax" for him, and at the time, Zuckerberg had offered Ceglia 50% of Facebook in return for $1,000 with Ceglia being given an additional 1% for each day that the "StreetFax" website was late being developed.

If Ceglia wins his case, he could be transformed into a multi-billionaire overnight.
