eBay Under Scrutiny: Ongoing Investigation and CEO's Statements
An investigation into eBay continues after it was revealed that several employees and contractors engaged in a campaign of stalking and harassment against a couple who ran an online newsletter covering the e-commerce industry. The employees targeted the couple due to their critical coverage of eBay. The harassment included sending threatening messages, live insects, pornography, and even a funeral wreath. Six employees and contractors have been indicted, but eBay itself has not been charged with any crimes. The couple is pursuing a civil case against eBay and its former executives.
