Did the Winklevoss twins ever talk about that in interviews? I think they wrote most of the source code for ConnectU, which Zuckerberg was at the very least aware of. I don’t recall if he or Facebook was ever found guilty of misusing ConnectU code in Facebook. In fact, the settlement that was reached between the relevant parties has had many court cases of its own since the settlement was reached, regarding lost value of agreed-upon stock value which had lessened relative to the value suggested by Facebook at settlement. The court cases may even be continuing to this day, but I couldn’t really tell from reading a few wiki pages and sources.

I don’t have an answer, sorry. But hopefully someone else can correct me and fill in the gaps.
