Ex-eBay Employees Plead Guilty To 'Cyberstalking' Critics

Nothing like this could ever possibly happen with Faceborg or Goolag or Twatter.

Sidenote: eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar is the one who owns Billy Kristol now, I believe.

[Fox Business] According to court documents, the editor and publisher of the newsletter were targeted after an article about litigation involving eBay in August 2019. Some members of eBay’s executive leadership team sent or forwarded text messages that suggested it was time to "take down" its editor, prosecutors said.

Popp and Zea are accused of conspiring with the former employees and executives in sending items to the couple such as a preserved fetal pig, a bloody pig Halloween mask, a funeral wreath and a book on surviving the loss of a spouse.

Pornography addressed to the victims was delivered to their neighbor’s homes, prosecutors say, and Zea sent live insects to the victims’ residence.

Another part of the scheme involved sending private Twitter messages and public tweets criticizing the newsletter’s content and even threatening to travel to the victims' home. The plan was for the messages to become increasingly more disturbing and eventually reveal the victims' home address.

The group drove to the home several times, planning to break into the victims’ garage and install a GPS tracking device on their car, court documents say.
