EBay faces criminal charges and a $3 million fine for a harassment campaign involving employees sending live spiders and cockroaches to a couple, resulting in a deferred prosecution agreement. Former CEO Devin Wenig allegedly sent a message suggesting to 'take her down' after the couple published an article upsetting eBay executives. Several former employees have pleaded guilty to charges, and the Steiners have also sued eBay in federal court over cyberstalking and upsetting deliveries.
