We dive into the surprising true story behind Snapchat's billion-dollar success. While the two well-known co-founders are credited with creating the app, the real genius behind the idea was Reggie Brown. But a crucial mistake led him to lose out on billions. Watch as we break down the legal battle, the investigation by Billy Gallager, and the leaked deposition of Evan Spiegel to piece together this drama. Who really deserves credit for Snapchat's success? You decide, and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
