FACEBOOK has sued lawyers who represented a man claiming he was entitled to a stake in the huge social network, saying they should have known he was a scam artist.

The lawsuit by Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg seeks damages from members of big law firms DLA Piper and Milberg LLP, as well as other lawyers participating in the case, saying they "conspired to file a fraudulent lawsuit" on behalf of Paul Ceglia.
