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 compensa…

#23Side note but did anyone here tried to sell stuff on eBay ?
Their pricing are insane, they take a cut on your product price, but also on the delivery method and even on the taxes !

To put some perspective, here in France we have an extremely profitable competitor called Leboncoin, it's crushing eBay shares in the country, and they take only 5% cut on the product price.

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 co…

Write to the national organization. Like, this guy is credibly accused of—and has settled claims around—seriously abusive behavior. He should not be around kids.
Simple, one page: I am a donor and a parent who trusts their kids to your organization. I saw this reporting and was shocked.
It may honestly not be on their radars.

No consequences for executives, and yet their ostensibly enormous responsibility is how their salaries and benefits are always justified.
What I really don't understand is why the security people who sent to jail didn't drop their boss in it in return for diminishing their role
Cush consulting jobs after the fact. You don’t burn your social network unless the alternate is serious jail time. Given the slaps on the wrists described, clearly the after conviction pay day is more valuable.

There is a chance there wasn’t anything incriminating. The top guys kept conversations live or intimated they wanted something done; the lowers took the planning and execution upon themselves.

Or generally, if any tech criminals now show nice consulting gigs on their LinkedIns and seem to have traction.
Wonder if any Enron perps are doing well, or Bernie Madoff’s associates, or if Elizabeth Holmes or SBF had righthand men…
