Program: 
Date: 
Friday, August 21, 2009 - 9:57am

Most of us are now on Facebook, but do you have any idea how it was “invented”. It started as a prank at Harvard created by classic geeks wanting find girls and ended up a sordid tale of drugs, lawyers and deep betrayal. Along the way there are dates with Victoria’s Secret models, a koala was eaten on a yacht, and billions of dollars were made. Tonight on Inquiry we talk with writer and columnist BEN MEZRICH about his wild and wooly tale social networking and big bucks titled THE ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES: THE FOUNDING OF FACEBOOK: A TALE OF SEX, MONEY, GENIUS, AND BETRAYAL.
