eBay will pay nearly $50 million after employees reportedly sent a Massachusetts couple a bloody pig mask, cockroaches and death threats

eBay agreed to pay nearly $50 million to a Massachusetts couple after former employees targeted them with threats and anonymous deliveries. The harassment campaign began with social media messages and escalated to the delivery of live cockroaches, spiders, a funeral wreath, a bloody pig Halloween mask, and a book about surviving a spouse's death. This settlement resolves a lawsuit concerning the stalking of the couple, who operated a newsletter that covered eBay's activities.
