The article says that Facebook is eyeing a valuation between $75 and $100 billion as it raises up to $10 billion, which is in line with a previous WSJ report last November.The article also reports that Morgan Stanley is currently the frontrunner to secure the top, "lead left" position in the filing, with Goldman Sachs playing a "significant role" as well.
