Who knows it might make a better movie than facebook and Zuckerberg with the winkevelli twins
I mean we have a planned murder and a hitmen, an undercover CIA officer posing as a help desk associate and a young bright drug dealer, this is the stuff that Hollywood movies are made of. Then Karpeles being the third wheel special side character that gets the sequel made after him  ;D (Like Van Wilder but without the whole college setting)
