Guez was previously in trouble with the social networking site when he received notification to shut down a company called Like Store, which claimed to be able to make money by procuring “likes” for official brand pages.

After changing his name, he set up a Facebook page with his new alias, but that was taken down.  He also owns a website called MarkZuckerberg.com, on which he posted the latest cease-and-desist letter from Facebook’s lawyers.

The letter states, “Your continued activities violate Facebook’s terms, and are illegal.”  It also includes a demand for the “new” Zuckerberg to halt his activities.

A video on YouTube depicts Guez legally changing his name.
