It´s a great story. I´m a journalist in São Paulo, Brazil, working for the website called iG. And i´d like to interview Eduardo, who is brazilian, I guess. May I ask you his email? Shure, I will write about your encounter with the Facebook guys too.

Thank you for your help

Wow what a crazy story. Too bad they tricked him into signing away his 30%. How's someone in their 20's suppose to realize what they were signing anyway? I'm not at the point where I know the ending of the story yet. Just passed the signing away part. So maybe there's a happy ending. Goes to show that you have to careful with contracts though that's for sure. I’m reading the book “The Accidental Billionaire” one of the best books I’ve read in years. Wow what a crazy story.

My hope is that Mark will bring him back to the fold as a director of facebook.

I've been seeing Mark on the headlines and wondered about what the co-founders have been doing, maybe off to something else I said. Can't help but think that maybe Mark is trying to repeat the history when he dropped out of Harvard. He seems like the next Bill Gates to me. They both dropped out of school and succeeded when they pursued their dreams. It may not be a good advice but the story just fascinates me. I like how you described Mark and the contrast with Eduardo. It's amazing how from small and simple things great things come to pass. Interesting.

You're like Woody Allen's Zelig. Ben Mezrich's book, Accidental Billionaire, will be a hit. Ben is a talented writer and brilliant marketer/promoter. Here's an ironic twist - Ben was a Harvard classmate of mine (1991) and...Sheryl Sandberg's -- currently COO of Facebook. I doubt I'll be seeing Ben and Sheryl sipping chardonnay together at the upcoming 20th reunion in a few years. Great post, Larry. You’re like Woody Allen’s Zelig.

Fortune has details on it with a talk with Mezrich, the author. I tipped it and its up on techmeme right now: "The book that Facebook doesn't want you to read" http://www.techmeme.com/090625/p82#a090625p82 Larry – Seems Eduardo was a source for the Accidental Billionaire book on Facebook.
