eBay hit with $3M fine, admits to “terrorizing innocent people”::eBay must pay maximum fine for putting Massachusetts couple “through pure hell.”
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
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 was ”a small group of employees” instigated by the CEO and CCO, who were never charged.
“Instigated” implying conspiracy that was not found to exist, or they would have been charged.
eBay’s board found the same: https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/news/ebay-inc-issues-statement-regarding-indictments-of-previously-terminated-employees/
They’re assholes, but there are no laws against being an asshole.
“Instigated” in the age-old “will no one rid me of this turbulent priest” sense.
They weren’t charged, only because laws have always been understood to afford a loophole of plausible deniability to those in power.
Which the CCO was not afforded. Strange zig-zagging lines to draw.
Always attribute to stupidity … etc.
You’re supposed to just blindly hate the corporations, no matter the intentions or actions!!1
Since corporations are people, surely we can jail the CEO and board and prevent them from doing any business for 24 months?
