So the Medusa Twins finally hit the Bitcoin Jackpot.
These Guys where born to be Billionaires.
Born with a Virtual Cryptocurrency Bitcoin Spoon in their mouth.
Lets face it. They were screwed over by Zuckerballs & Co. And lucky to get their final settlement.
The Movie, The Social Network is all about Zucker, but the Medusa Twins come out of it with some moral standing. After they suffered that Zucker Punch!
But I do agree, they look like a pair from the, Dr Who list, of, "Evil Villains I'd Hate To Meet on a Dark Waterway."
But hey, they rolled $11M big ones on a Bitcoin price of $120 a pop. And it's come up Las Vegas style.
And this after having to pony up $13M to Lawyers, for a failed final fling, to squeeze some-more Juice out of the Zuckerballs Kid.
After Satachi they are the biggest Bitcoin story around at the moment.
And still we await for Steemit to catch fire!

The rise has made millionaires out of many of its early backers but the Winklevoss twins are believed to be the first public figures to have turned an investment into more than US$1 billion.
The pair, who attended Harvard with Zuckerberg, won a US$65 million payout from Facebook in 2008, claiming he had stolen their idea. In March 2013, they used US$11 million of the settlement to buy roughly 1 per cent of the world's supply of bitcoin in March 2013, when one coin was worth around US$120.
The hoard has not been disclosed but is estimated to be around 100,000 bitcoins – worth more than US$1 billion at the cryptocurrency's peak last week.
Since their clash with Facebook, the twins – who rowed for the US at the Beijing Olympics – have restyled themselves as Bitcoin entrepreneurs, launching their own online exchange and venture capital fund. The pair are believed to have held onto their bitcoin investments in the hope of launching an exchange-traded fund in New York, although they have struggled to gain approval from financial regulators.
"We've never sold a bitcoin, we're in it for the long haul," Cameron Winklevoss said two years ago. Tyler Winklevoss, who has said the currency could be worth trillions, told London's The Daily Telegraph last year that Bitcoin was "like a better version of gold".
