Detailed Summary
Eduardo Saverin travels to California after being invited by Mark Zuckerberg for a milestone party and a business meeting regarding new investment offers. However, upon arrival, Eduardo realizes the trip was a setup to force him into signing documents that fundamentally change his role in the company. The climax of the scene occurs when it is revealed that the company issued 24 million new shares. While Mark Zuckerberg, Sean Parker, and Peter Thiel maintained their ownership percentages, Eduardo's stake was diluted down to 0.03%. Mark justifies this by blaming Eduardo's failure as the business head of the company for making a poor deal. The encounter devolves into a shouting match involving personal insults and accusations. Eduardo, feeling betrayed and erased from the company's masthead, warns Mark that he will 'lawyer up' and sue for everything. The scene ends with Eduardo being removed by security, while Mark and Sean maintain a cold, triumphant demeanor.
