Mark Zuckerberg might be facing a lawsuit from his very own Facebook. Well, sort of.
On Dec. 7, an Israeli entrepreneur, who was formerly known as Rotem Guez, legally changed his name to Mark Zuckerberg, Hollywood Reporter said.
"I've had a flooding of phone calls, as well from people I haven't seen for years. The people I did talk to think it's a mad idea, but take it with a smile," Guez-now-Zuckerberg wrote in an email to the L.A. Times.
After a history of trouble with Facebook and receiving a warning from Facebook’s lawyer in Sept., the new Zuckerberg might face a lawsuit from Facebook for his company, Like Store. The company sells fans to brands, claiming to gather Facebook “likes” for official brand pages.
On Dec. 14, the social networking site sent the businessman a cease-desist letter, demanding that he shut down his company on the grounds that it violates the terms.
Then-Guez told the L.A Times he changed his name purposely, so Facebook would have to sue Mark Zuckerberg.
"I wanted that once they sue me, they'll face suing 'Mark Zuckerberg,'" he said.
Since his name change, Guez-Zuckerberg said Facebook disabled his profile, but there is no word on whether his account has been suspended or not.
