Facebook, Zuckerberg say ownership contract forged

This is huge; saying unilaterally to the court that the documents are forged sets up a massive worst-case "you lied when you told me these are forged" scenario.

Frankly, I'm surprised. I would have guessed that they'd take a "This isn't the A Facebook you're looking for" angle.

I'm marking this as the moment that Zuckerberg steps fully into his CEO role; this is a quality counter-attack from someone who is no longer placating early co-founders.
