A couple running a news site about e-commerce became the focus of intense, targeted harassment by eBay employees. Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the stalking case.
Investigators learned in April of 2019, eBay’s then CEO Devin Wenig shared a link to this post Ina had written about his annual pay. EBay’s Chief Communications Officer, Steve Wymer, wrote back “we are going to crush this lady” about a month later, Wenig, the CEO of eBay texted: “take her down.” Prosecutors say Steve Wymer later texted eBay security director Jim Baugh “I want to see ashes. as long as it takes. whatever it takes.”
Just a few days later, investigators say Baugh set up a meeting with his security staff at eBay’s California headquarters, posted a map of Natick on the wall, and then dispatched a team to Boston.
