????哈佛大學（Harvard）前校長拉里?薩默斯在《財富》科技頭腦風暴大會（Fortune's Brainstorm Tech）上接受采訪時稱，“我很少看到如此裝腔作勢的人，我這樣說已經夠客氣了。”

????當卡梅隆?文克萊沃斯和泰勒?文克萊沃斯兩兄弟在哈佛求學時，校友馬克?扎克伯格創辦了Facebook。兩兄弟找到薩默斯，要求后者幫助他們從扎克伯格手中分得一杯羹。

????薩默斯斷然拒絕了他們，電影《社交網絡》（Social Network）重現了這一幕。

????薩默斯并未試圖否認此事。

????“作為大學校長，我學到的一件事是：如果某個學生在周四下午三點鐘穿著西裝，打著領帶，那只有兩種可能。一種是他們正在找工作，正要去參加面試；另一種是他們是混蛋。而文克萊沃斯兄弟屬于第二種。”

????從2004年開始，文克萊沃斯兄弟對Facebook發起了多次訴訟。兄弟倆和另一位哈佛同學迪維亞?納倫德拉宣稱，扎克伯克從他們手中偷走了Facebook的創意。

????Facebook迅速針對這個三人幫以及他們名下的社交網站ConnectU發起反訴，宣稱這三人侵入Facebook，竊取數據并向其用戶發送垃圾郵件。這場訴訟和反訴訟的拉鋸戰一直持續到2008年，文克萊沃斯兄弟和納倫德拉最終同意簽署一項和解協議。他們獲得了6，500萬美元賠償，一部分以現金形式支付，另一部分則是Facebook的股票。

????不過沒過多久，三人幫又試圖退出協議，他們宣稱Facebook在股票估值上欺騙了自己。法庭否決這一請求，強制他們繼續履行協議。不過文克萊沃斯兄弟和納倫德拉隨后將案件上訴到上訴法院。

????今年4月，美國舊金山第九巡回上訴法院首席法官亞歷克斯?科金斯基決定終止此案。他在判決中寫道，“在某一時刻，訴訟必須劃上句號。而現在這個時刻已經來臨。”

????6月，針對退出2008年和解協議一案，雙胞胎兄弟決定不再上訴至最高法院。不過僅僅一天之后，他們又在波士頓聯邦法院提起新的訴訟。

????"Rarely, have I encountered such swagger, and I tried to respond in kind," the former president of Harvard said in an interview at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference.

????Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were at Harvard at the same time that Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook, and they had come to Summers for help in their fight for a piece of the action.

????Summers dismissed them, a scene dramatized in the movie the "Social Network."

????Summers didn't try to dispel the portrayal.

????"One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an a**hole. This was the latter case."

????The Winklevoss twins have taken dozens of runs at Facebook in court since 2004. The brothers and a third Harvard classmate, Divya Narendra, have alleged that Zuckerberg had stolen the idea for Facebook from them.

????Facebook promptly countersued the trio and their own social networking site, ConnectU, alleging that they had hacked into Facebook to steal data and spam users. The legal volley of claims and counterclaims went back and forth until 2008, when the Winklevosses and Narendra signed a settlement valued at $65 million, part in cash and part in Facebook stock.

????But the trio later tried to pull out of the deal, alleging that Facebook had misrepresented the value of its stock. A judge ruled against them and forced the settlement to go through, but the Winklevosses and Narendra took the case to an appeals court.

????In April, Judge Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco, attempted to put the kibosh on the case. "At some point, litigation must come to an end," Kozinski wrote in his decision. "That point has now been reached."

????In June, the twins abandoned their plans to appeal to the Supreme Court for an unwinding of their 2008 settlement, and followed up a day later with a new motion in Boston federal court.
