| This case is beyond the typical harassment/cyber-stalking. CEO was obsessed with destroying the couple and the person he put in charge (James Baugh) had multiple law enforcement connections. Video with more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnQMuS87gLw |

| ▲ | evgen a day ago | parent [-] | | There is also a good Behind the Bastards episode about this case. Truly bizarre obsession on the part of the CEO and a completely off the rails security org doing his bidding. |

| Good. With that said, the CEO has mostly escaped responsibility unfairly. |

| ▲ | angoragoats a day ago | parent [-] | | Agreed. Devin Wenig (the aforementioned CEO) is a thug and criminal who should be in prison. His statements about this incident are laughable; he claimed in a statement recently that the harassment of the couple was “deliberately done in secret and without my knowledge.” Yet the emails/texts made public as part of the case show him making statements like “take her down… do whatever it takes.”[0] Absolute scum of the earth. I still have some hope that he’ll be charged criminally, given the renewed publicity this case is getting. [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/technology/ebay-settles-s... |
