The DOJ announced today that six former employees of eBay have been charged with leading a cyberstalking campaign. This campaign targeted the editor and publisher of a newsletter that eBay executives viewed as critical of the company. The alleged harassment included sending the couple anonymous, threatening messages, disturbing deliveries – including a boxes of live cockroaches, spiders, etc., a funeral wreath and a bloody pig mask – and conducting covert surveillance of the victims.

Independent people, people who refuse to be intimidated, are under attack across the country. The Democrats are at the forefront of these kinds of attacks. The Democrats have created a “victim” class who will rise up at the slightest suggestion. The Democrats do not speak out against unlawful acts unless it boosts their political agenda. By their silence, they condone and encourage the actions of the rioters plaguing our cities.
These eBay thugs are like those rioters. Just like those in the Obama administration who believed they could weaponize government agencies for their own purposes, the eBay thugs truly believe that they are entitled to threaten, dox, terrorize and bankrupt anyone who has a different opinion from theirs. Just like Obama’s minions, they thought they were above the law and thought they were too smart to get caught. The next obvious question should be, who else did they do this to?
This appears to reach very high up into eBay’s executive suite. This was all done on the corporate dime. And it was not cheap. Who signed off on all of those expense account vouchers? Will we see early plea deals that lead to more indictments of conspirators higher up?
All of these people are now FORMER employees of eBay. eBay fired them in an attempt do damage control when the investigation became known.
The end of this is a positive story and all those that contributed to the arrests of these evil people should be applauded. As the USAO said, kudos to the Natick Police Department for doing the job they have been hired to do. That is, caring for the people they protect. We need to hear this more often during the times we are all living through.
