MySpace co-founder says he was ripped off
Social networking juggernaut MySpace is experiencing some post-acquisition woes in the form of complaints by former shareholders. Among them is MySpace co-founder Brad Greenspan, who says that MySpace parent company Intermix Media knowingly sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. for far less than its true value and locked out other bidders including Viacom. Greenspan has released a nine-chapter report at FreeMySpace.com that he says presents proof of Intermix executives' wrongdoing.

Other former MySpace investors are up in arms as well, though, filing lawsuits for a variety of allegations backed by big guns like Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins, the firm that won billions for the Enron plaintiffs.
