Arguably, inception
The "Dumb fucks" story is rather well-known
Any reference to it used to get downvoted. HN commenters would argue he has since changed, that he's older and wiser
But I also recall reading about a conversation he had with a classmate who started a similar database of student information at Harvard. Like the Winklevoss twins, he thought Zuckerberg was copying his idea. I believe he went on to create a website of searchable case law. Was his name Greenspan, I can't remember
Anyway, the gist of what I remember is that in a conversation with Greenspan, Zuckerberg specifically cited federal court as the place where his dishonesty would hit a wall, or something like that
Many years and billions of dollars later, it seems like this may be coming true
