科技英语新闻:Harvard twins appeal Facebook settlement ruling anew

BEIJING, April 19 (Xinhuanet) -- The case in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Social Network" continues in real life.

Twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss on Monday filed another appeal against their Harvard classmate and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

The Winklevosses claim that the case needs to be reviewed by a special 11-judge panel in the latest appeal, after a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the brothers last week.

The twins initially claimed that Zuckerberg had stolen their idea for the website but agreed to drop their lawsuit in 2008 in exchange for 20 million dollars in cash and stock in the company.

But later they discovered the stock was worth less than claimed at the time and sought to have the deal voided, the brothers said.
