Cockroaches, Bloody Pig Mask: eBay Forks Over $56 Million To Victims Of Corporate Terror
The e-commerce giant eBay, as well as three former top executives at the company, agreed to pay $55.7 million to a Massachusetts couple who published an e-commerce newsletter.
The couple, David and Ina Steiner, alleged in a 2021 lawsuit that they were stalked and harassed by the company, including by employees sending them fly larvae, cockroaches and a bloody Halloween pig mask, CNN Business reported Wednesday. Authorities are also prosecuting eBay and the three executives for targeting the couple.
The dispute began when the Steiner's newsletter, ECommerceBytes, was publishing articles that former CEO Devin Wenig deemed critical of eBay back in August of 2019..........................
Wenig will pay $2,000,000 to the couple and send $1,000,000 to a First Amendment-oriented charity in the name of Ina Steiner.
"No one should ever have been subjected to what the Steiners endured in 2019, and I'm saddened by it, especially because it occurred during my time as CEO of eBay," Wenig said in a statement Tuesday. "This behavior is antithetical to everything I stand for and believe in."
The agreed conditions of the settlement include eBay paying $46.15 million to the Steiner family, sending $6 million to charity and writing a "strongly-worded" statement regarding the conflict of the former higher-ups connected to this case.
