This case is absolutely bonkers. I posted about it a while back. The executives involved should be in prison.
They are:
Wow, that's fantastic to hear.
Not even 5 years. It's a fucking joke. These bastards were heinous. Heck, the c suite at the top also might have been aware. How does a company survive after this? An ordinary individual would have been sued and jailed to oblivion
Source on that last one?
I meant if a regular person did crimes of this magnitude, they would have gotten harsher punishment. Which I think these executives also more than deserve
I know what you meant, but do you have a source for your claim?
Nope. I guess I shouldn't have implied it with that certainty. It was more of a horrific repulsion from what the ebay execs did and I felt like they got off too easy
That's insane. It sounds like ebay must have a toxic culture to let that happen.
A funeral wreath and a book on surviving the death of a spouse.
Fuck these assholes, that's vile.
Regulate tech companies
I'm pretty sure these actions are already illegal ...
wonder why they're getting fined
