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   (Like Van Wilder but without the whole college setting)
