> We continue to work on collecting as much as possible from Guerbuez and Atlantis Blue (likely far less than the full amount) and have hired a firm to help with this.

I wonder how much they have collected and how money from these lawsuits factors into their profitability. Not that I don't think these spammers deserve the judgments... That line just made me wonder if this has some bearing on Facebook's profitability.



Facebook is cash flow positive (http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=136782277130), so the accounting related to the judgments probably has little or no impact on their profitability.


Yea, but they were talking about a previous ruling in another case. Off-hand, I'm not sure how many such rulings they have. It was just a thought that I figured might generate a bit of interesting discussion.
