eBay Security Team Engages in Disturbing Harassment
The eBay security team engaged in a series of disturbing and malicious acts against a husband and wife couple who ran a small newsletter, including sending death threats, making false ads about orgies at their house, and sending them live spiders and cockroaches. The actions of the security team, which went all the way up to the company's top executives, led to criminal charges and guilty pleas from several members of the team. eBay has since apologized and reached an agreement with the Department of Justice, while the couple has a civil lawsuit pending against the company.
