Yes, interestingly enough, there is a relationship....an important one, between all these things......

(broken link removed to http://www.buffalonews.com/business/article27951.ece)
" Allegany Pellets urged consumers to preorder wood pellets in spring 2009, taking in about $200,000 in advance payments from dozens of consumers and promising 1,900 tons of wood pellets in the coming months - and never delivered"

And here is the Facebook connection - big time!

Paul Ceglia, the owner of Allegany Pellets, is involved in a massive law suit with Facebook!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#Paul_Ceglia


"Mr. Zuckerberg is currently fighting a battle with Paul Ceglia, a New York state wood-pellet salesman who has argued that a 2003 contract with Mr. Zuckerberg gives him claim to a large stake in the company. Facebook has called Mr. Ceglia's claims "fraudulent."

I sold him some equipment for his pelletmill. Anyone see a bankruptcy auction advertised let me know I'd like to buy it back.

More likely he'll be given 100 million to go away...then you can get your money with interest...maybe even sue the guy for something and make a mint.
