A California state judge rejected the request of Mark Zuckerberg to dismiss the charges of fraud that a neighbor filed against him. A jury will now have to decide if Zuckerberg committed fraud, according to a report from CNN Money.
According to real estate developer Mircea Voskerician, Zuckerberg promised to introduce him to his highly-influential friends in Silicon Valley, which apparently never happened.
Judge Lucas has also ruled that Divesh Makan, a financial adviser to Zuckerberg, must face a claim that he was part of a conspiracy to defraud Voskerician. Meanwhile, Voskerician’s attorney, David Draper, has asked the court that he be withdrawn from the case. Draper mentioned two rules which state that his participation in the case could present ethical dilemmas.
The judge is expected to rule on Draper’s petition next week, which may further delay decisions in the case.
