    An Indianapolis based bankruptcy attorney, named Mark Steven Zuckerberg, is suing Meta over repeated confusion with CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.

    That’s far less crazy than the clickbait headline had me believe.

      What did you think the headline meant?

        I thought it meant it was the same guy. Like I didn’t know if the FB Mark ever finished college or got a law degree or if he’s representing himself. You know how some people will sue themselves or the company they started so they are the plaintiff and the defense.

          The irony of this comment goes through the roof

            The weirdest thing is that it wouldn’t be the first time a party has sued itself.

          I was actually hoping it was this. My top level response would have been the same though.

            Zuckerberg charges Zuckerberg with crime. Jury shrugs, offers death penalty.

              That’s taking “legal suicide” to a whole new level. I’m impressed.

          Without a doubt.

          It just seemed clear grammatically that this was two separate people.

          If it was some oligarch shenanigans instead of “the” it would have been “as a”

          That’s the first thing that came to mind.

          Some sort of scheme.

          Yeah, I assumed it was some corporate shenanigans where Zuckerberg sues himself and somehow ends up with more money because of it.

          To me, that is about as crazy as suing someone for his name.

      Suing for what? Defamation because they think the lawyer is as sleazy as the ceo?
