eBay execs arrested for sending pigs head to woman who gave eBay bad review!

[ReedeFox]

I wouldn’t normally share stories like this but it’s so freakin shocking that a bunch executives would club together to collectively try to destroy the lives of a middle aged couple. Six former eBay executives and employees were left fuming after a couple wrote a bad review of the company in an e-commerce newsletter.

The execs then took it upon themselves to harass the couple and send them a bunch of “disturbing deliveries” that included a bloody pig mask, a box of live cockroaches, and a funeral wreath. The employees also sent threatening messages and traveled to the couples home in Massachusetts to conduct “covert surveillance” of the victims. Whoa!!!!

 

Here’s what lawyer Andrew Lelling had to say: 
 

It was a determined, systematic effort of senior employees of a major company to destroy the lives of a couple in Natick, all because they published content company executives didn’t like.

 
Ironically, some of the people involved were eBay’s former director of safety and security James Baugh, former eBay director of global resiliency David Harville, Stephanie Popp - senior manager of global intelligence and Brian Gilbert - senior manager of special operations for eBay’s global security team.

 

All of the people involved have since been charged with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses. According to the lawyer, two of the execs had sent texts saying it was time to “take down” and “crush this lady”. Yikes! Here’s some of the weird shit the couple received in the post: 
 

These deliveries included fly larvae and live spiders, a box of live cockroaches, a sympathy wreath on the occasion of the death of a loved one, a book of advice on how to survive the death of a spouse, pornography mailed to their next door neighbours but in the couple’s names, Halloween masks featuring the face of the bloody pig, and the pig fetus which was ordered, but after an inquiry by the supplier, thankfully, wasn’t ever sent.

 
The eBay execs also set up an ad on Craigslist with the couples address inviting swingers to come over for a sex party and encouraging people to knock on the door anytime day or night! Jeez! That could’ve ended up as a freakin massacre with all the freaks on Craigslist. Thankfully after an investigation all the employees were fired by eBay, who were super cooperative in the investigation. Well you’d bloody hope so wouldn’t you.  

Damn! Imagine having the people in charge of cyber security for a multi billion pound company making it their mission to literally destroy you. Talk about breach of data protection!
