After being awarded that small sum of money, the twins filed a motion last month claiming that Facebook purposely withheld evidence during the lawsuit that ended with the settlement. In brief, the Winklevii said that the $65 million was awarded based on outdated price valuation of the social media giant and that the settlement cash should have been based on a more recent $100 billion valuation of Facebook. Using Winklemath, the new settlement, should it have been approved by the courts, will have increased to $500 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Divya Narendra, the third person involved in ConnectU&#8217;s creation was also part of this motion as well as the initial settlement. U.S. District&nbsp;judge Douglas Woodlock tossed out the motion yesterday in Boston, effectively putting an end to any future litigation Facebook could face from Narendra or the Winklevoss twins. Hopefully the three of them will be able to survive on $21.5 million they each gained from the settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/social-media\/winklevoss-twins-lose-in-court-yet-again\/\">Digital Trends<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the latest twist in the Winklevoss twins&#8217; legal saga with Facebook.
