eBay agreed to pay a $3 million fine to resolve criminal charges related to a 2019 harassment campaign its then-employees waged against a Massachusetts couple for their newsletter's coverage of the e-commerce company, federal authorities said Thursday. The retaliation scheme involved sending live insects, a funeral wreath and other disturbing deliveries to their home.
The Justice Department charged eBay with stalking, witness tampering and obstruction of justice after seven employees and contractors were convicted of felony charges for their roles in the scheme.
