60 Minutes –  Investigation continues after couple became the target of harassment, stalking by eBay employees. Unbelievable!

The complaint alleges that the victims were targeted because eBay executives were unhappy with the coverage of eBay on the couple’s website.

The plan was hatched in eBay’s headquarters, in a conference room. It was paid for, ultimately, by eBay. Don’t they bear any responsibility for this?

EBay’s Chief Communications Officer Wymer deleted his text messages. There was– a notice that went out to everyone to say, “There’s this criminal investigation, preserve the evidence.” Wymer immediately deletes everything. That’s obstruction of justice. If I did that I’d be sitting in a jail cell somewhere right now.

The current U.S. Attorney has said the investigation into eBay is ongoing.

Steve Wymer was fired for cause by eBay and now runs the Boys and Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. He has said his texts were mischaracterized and that he learned of the employees’ conduct only after the fact. The former CEO Devin Wenig, said in a statement to 60 Minutes that he was appalled at what happened and had he been aware of it at the time he would have stopped it.

Wenig resigned from eBay in September of 2019 with a $57 million exit package.
