    eBay’s revenue in the last financial year was over $10 billion, I’m sure that $3 million fine will make sure they never terrorise innocents again.

      From another article

      All seven who participated in the harassment have been convicted. Baugh was sentenced to 57 months in prison in September 2022.

      It was a small group of employees targeting one couple, and it looks like most of them will be going to prison.

      While I agree that the $3m is chump change for eBay, the victims deserve the settlement, and some justice has been served.

        It’s great to hear that the people responsible will actually do time for what they did

        Usually when you hear about people at a corporation doing some shitty stuff all you hear about is fines

            The then-Senior Director of Safety and Security for eBay got an almost 5 year prison sentence, and it seems he reported directly to the CEO. That sounds like management to me!
