SAN FRANCISCO: Can a Libra and two Geminis get along? How about Facebook and the Winklevoss twins? 

Back in the day, Mark Zuckerberg’s hunky Harvard classmates claimed the Facebook CEO stole their idea for the social network when he was just a nerdy undergrad. Now, Facebook’s grand plan for a new digital currency called Libra could bring the three men together again – though it remains to be seen whether there’ll be enough drama to warrant a sequel to The Social Network, the 2010 film based on the story of Facebook’s founding.
