According to Mathhew Robert Young, a state prisoner at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Oregon, he's the one responsible for virtualization technology (VT), which was stolen from him by both Steve Jobs and Intel. Young says he told Jobs about the technology, and when Jobs never responded to an alleged offer to buy the intellectual property for $250 million, Young pitched it to Intel, allowing the chip maker to make VT work with its Core 2 Duo processors. In a civil action suit filed with the U.S. District Court in Oregon, Young says he's entitled to $5 billion and claims he can prove his allegations with a live demonstration.

"Pro se plaintiff is the only person in the world at present who knows how to make both the [Core-2 Duo micro processor, and the Virtual Technology] work, and pro se plaintiff can in fact come before this U S District Court and prove it by a factual DEMONSTRATION," and that "plaintiff declares here that this action is a JUST cause, and not for harassment purposes," Young wrote in his court filing.

In a separate but perhaps related matter (and by 'perhaps,' we really mean 'definitely'), Young is also claiming he is being "unlawfully held and restrained of his liberty and freedom in the Snake River Correctional Institution," which has also been brought to civil action.
