Facebook IPO By 2012

With Facebook going public, the company will have to disclose all its financial to public. The company has no reason to stay private and if it has to expand its operations, the best option it has is to go public. However people have opinions that Zuckerberg may pull out all his money from Facebook (which is worth billions of dollars) as soon as FB goes public. There are growing concerns among people about private trading of Facebook stock on places like SecondMarket.

What is your take on Facebook going public in 2012?
