And then there are media articles like the Independent[1], which compares the Winklevoss twins the to Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Oprah Winfrey, and suggest they're modern American heroes.

This whole saga is an media circus. They already made $140MM (current value of previous settlement in escrow), fu money for anyone. 80% of that $140MM (post lawyer fees) is straight up $$, without payouts to VCs, seed investors, or employee options.

If they are serious about being entrepreneurial, maybe they could start an angel fund with $20MM?
