The story sounded crazy from the start: a guy from upstate New York claimed Mark Zuckerberg owed him half of Facebook, and he had the papers to prove it. Now, it's become even crazier.More than a year after the man, Paul Ceglia, cut off an electronic ankle bracelet and fled federal charges that he faked documents to bolster his lawsuit against Zuckerberg, Ceglia says someone - he didn't say who - was planning to have him killed.In e-mails to news agency Bloomberg that hint at government conspiracies, Ceglia has offered new tidbits about his life as an international fugitive."I felt I had no one in government I could trust," Ceglia wrote. "An opportunity presented itself, so I MacGyver'd some things together and started running for my life."Ceglia's whereabouts are unknown; the contents of the e-mails, with the subject line "Paul from Wellsville", provide a few clues. Ceglia wrote that he is "far from US soil to be sure". He also wants his family and friends to know that he's alive and well and "living on the air in Cincinnati", apparently a clue about his well-being rather than his whereabouts - it's a line from the theme song of the television comedy WKRP in Cincinnati.Ceglia, 43, said he fled due to a "very credible" threat that he would be arrested, jailed and killed before trial. The reason he was marked for death, he said, was that the trial would expose the involvement of the CIA's venture-capital arm, In-Q-Tel, in Facebook.Ceglia's path from his small town in western New York to international fugitive started in 2003, when he hired Zuckerberg, then a student at Harvard University, to do coding work on his StreetFax.com website. He claims he paid for half of Zuckerberg's project, then called The Face Book, and that Zuckerberg used StreetFax's search engine in the early version of the social network.Facebook and Zuckerberg have said that Ceglia's claim is bogus, that Zuckerberg's contract with Ceglia involved only StreetFax, and that Zuckerberg didn't conceive of the social network until later.A federal judge threw out Ceglia's civil case against Facebook and Zuckerberg in March 2013, saying that he had forged a contract, created fake e-mails between himself and Zuckerberg, and destroyed evidence. Ceglia was charged in 2012 with trying to defraud Facebook and Zuckerberg. He denies wrongdoing.Ceglia says he was deprived of his right to a jury trial when the suit against Facebook and Zuckerberg was tossed out at the pre-trial stage. And the government's criminal case, filed while the civil suit was still pending, was also illegal because, in his view, he was prosecuted merely for filing a lawsuit.Ceglia says he has applied for asylum in a country he won't identify. US marshals say they're still trying to find him and are offering a $5000 reward.Arriving at Ceglia's Wellsville, New York, house on March 8 2015, police found his court-ordered ankle bracelet hanging from a "motorised contraption" mounted on the ceiling - intended to keep the bracelet moving to make it appear that Ceglia was still in his house.Ceglia says he has "a regular job" and hopes to start buying and selling houses soon to make more money."Everyone including our dog is happy and in good health," Ceglia wrote. "It has been a difficult and scary year for [my wife] Iasia and I but faith in God has seen us through and a determination to get justice has inspired me to keep going." - Bloomberg..
