Steiner, who with his wife, Ina, publishes a news website about the e-commerce industry from their home, thought his neighbor must be joking — who would be graffitiing his new white vinyl fence on their quiet, tree-lined street? It was June of 2019, and he had no clue that the vandalism was just the start of a bizarre harassment campaign directed by senior executives at one of the country’s leading Internet companies, eBay. Ultimately, the events would shatter the Steiners’ peaceful suburban life, result in criminal charges against six eBay employees and a contractor, five of whom have pleaded guilty, and contribute to the departure of eBay’s chief executive. The abuse would culminate in the couple fearing for their lives as they were stalked in their own neighborhood by unknown perpetrators in a slow-moving black van. |
An absolutely deranged tale of harassment. The couple had their home vandalized and a series of unwanted packages sent to their homes as part of campaign of thinly veiled threats.
A taxidermist called them to confirm their order of a pig fetus. Books on dealing with the death of a spouse were also sent, as well as a bloody Halloween mask. Another package contained live flies and larvae. A florist delivered a sympathy wreath. They attempted to put a tracking device on their car and were driving down their street in rental trucks.
All of this because they wrote an ecommerce newsletter that was critical of the retail giant.
