As Facebook heads toward an IPO, a lawsuit against Facebook CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg alleging that he stole the original code for the site, just doesn't seem to be going away as it finally heads to court this month, reports TechCrunch.

Originally filed back in 2004 when Facebook had a paltry 200,000 members, the lawsuit stems from Zuckerberg's previous gig as a programmer working for Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra in the Harvard dorms on HarvardConnect.com, now known as ConnectU.

The plaintiffs are demanding that Facebook be shut down and that full control of the site and its profits be turned over to them.
