The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn a deposition, Eduardo recounts how Facebook began: Mark came to him not for code but for start-up cash. Lawyers probe whether jealousy over the Phoenix Club started a plan to freeze Eduardo out. Mark snaps that money is nothing to him, then boasts he could buy the street and turn the club into a ping-pong room. Across the table, counsel reads Mark's stall emails to the Winklevoss twins. Watch a money flex collide with a paper trail.
