  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.

      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

  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.
