eBay to pay $3 million after employees sent fetal pig, funeral wreath to Boston couple::The online auction company called the actions of its previous employees, which also consisted of social media threats, “wrong and reprehensible.”
This case is absolutely bonkers. I posted about it a while back. The executives involved should be in prison.
They are:
The investigation led to felony convictions for seven individuals, all former eBay employees or contractors, and the ringleader was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison.
Wow, that’s fantastic to hear.
Not even 5 years. It’s a fucking joke. These bastards were heinous. Heck, the c suite at the top also might have been aware. How does a company survive after this? An ordinary individual would have been sued and jailed to oblivion
Source on that last one?
I meant if a regular person did crimes of this magnitude, they would have gotten harsher punishment. Which I think these executives also more than deserve
I know what you meant, but do you have a source for your claim?
Nope. I guess I shouldn’t have implied it with that certainty. It was more of a horrific repulsion from what the ebay execs did and I felt like they got off too easy
That’s insane. It sounds like ebay must have a toxic culture to let that happen.
A funeral wreath and a book on surviving the death of a spouse.
Fuck these assholes, that’s vile.
Regulate tech companies
I’m pretty sure these actions are already illegal …
wonder why they’re getting fined
