And on the other hand, let's see how the C-suite made out: Wymer was appointed chief of the non-profit Boys and Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. Wenig has been on General Motors’ board since 2018 and now runs an AI start-up. Jones remained at eBay until 2020 and now sits on Prudential Financial’s board. (These were the Chief Communication Officer, CEO, and SVP for Global Operations, respectively)

I adore our local boys and girls club, our kids are there every weekday and they adore it too. We have donated a little bit of money monthly for almost a decade. I do not love the big money vanity donors but they are what make the place tick.
This is another level… I would be so angry if this clown were running our metro area. I feel obligated to write letters to all of those donors even though we are on the other coast.

#18I assume this has been investigated but it's difficult to believe this stopped at one pair of critics. There are plenty of people online critical of eBay.

I hope someone's looking into the careers of the "forme…
From the facts that came out at his trial [1], it seems like Baugh, the guy who ran the operation, was basically feral. At one point during his cross-country trip to harass these people, he was also trying to organize a blackmail campaign (with eBay personnel and resources) against a prosecutor in Arkansas who was charging his father with something?

What in the hell is that supposed to mean? 7 members of the security team of a mega corporation cooperated in a sustained, coordinated, criminal campaign to intimidate journalists critical of eBay.
The journalists, well within their rights, went to the law.
The state brought criminal charges against the 7 employees, and they served/are serving time.
The journalists further brought a civil complaint, and were compensated handsomely.
