Episode Details

eBay is paying nearly $50 million to a Massachusetts couple who ran a tech newsletter, after they were targeted with terrifying anonymous deliveries—including live insects, a funeral wreath, and a bloody pig mask—by former eBay employees trying to silence their reporting. After a six-year legal battle involving criminal charges, death threats, and surveillance, the settlement also forces eBay to donate to free speech groups and issue a public apology. Seven former employees pleaded guilty, and eBay itself paid a $3 million criminal fine—highlighting the steep price corporations pay when they try to crush dissent.
