[fergua3]

Remember Ina from ecommerce bytes?  And how a group of Ebay execs (now former execs) harrassed her for her online comments about ebay?  Bloody  masks,  pig fetuses, other terrorizing efforts.  Back in 2019 iirc.

Well,  James Baugh, 45, of San Jose, Calif., eBay's former Senior Director of Safety & Security who was one of i think it was 6 ebay employees that participated, has been sentenced to over 4 years in prison.

i hope the other participants receive equivelent sentences.

Edit: it was 7 employees, including two executives.  Here is a detailed account:

BOSTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Two former eBay Inc (EBAY.O) security executives were sentenced to prison on Thursday for carrying out a campaign to harass and intimidate a Massachusetts couple through threats and disturbing home deliveries after their online newsletter drew the ire of the company's then-CEO.

Jim Baugh and David Harville were sentenced to 57 and 24 months in prison, respectively, for their roles in an extensive harassment campaign that involved sending the couple cockroaches, a funeral wreath and a bloody Halloween pig mask.

U.S. District Judge Patti Saris, who imposed the sentences during hearings in Boston, called it a "hard-to-imagine" scheme fueled by a "toxic culture" at the Silicon Valley e-commerce company.

"It was extreme and outrageous," Saris said.

She ordered Baugh, eBay's former senior director of safety and security, and Harville, its former director of global resiliency, to also pay fines of $40,000 and $20,000, respectively, after pleading guilty to cyberstalking-related charges.
