eBay已同意支付总计4870万美元赔偿一对美国新闻工作者夫妇Ina和David Steiner，以解决长期骚扰案件1。这笔赔偿金中，eBay公司支付4615万美元，前CEO Devin Wenig支付200万美元，前高管Wendy Jones支付50万美元，前高管Steve Wymer支付5万美元1。此外，各方还将捐赠700万美元用于慈善事业，其中Wenig捐赠100万美元1。
这起长期案件源于eBay前员工因不满该夫妇的报道而对其进行的协调骚扰1。骚扰活动从2019年开始，包括匿名寄送活蟑螂、蜘蛛、葬礼花圈、血腥猪面具和色情杂志，甚至还计划在其车上安装GPS设备1。Ina Steiner表示这些事件"改变了生活"1。
7名前eBay员工因参与这一协调骚扰而被联邦起诉，其中大多数已被判有罪并面临监禁或居家监禁处罚1。此和解协议不含保密条款，允许受害者公开讨论此案1。eBay此前已根据缓诉协议于2024年支付了300万美元刑事罚款1。
eBay has agreed to pay approximately $48.7 million in total compensation to resolve a lawsuit brought by journalists Ina and David Steiner, who were subjected to a coordinated harassment campaign by the company's former employees 1. The settlement includes $46.15 million from eBay, $2 million from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer, alongside an additional $7 million in charitable donations 1.
The harassment campaign, which began in 2019, involved multiple disturbing tactics directed at the couple 1. Former eBay employees sent live cockroaches, spiders, funeral wreaths, and a bloody pig mask to the Steiners' home, along with pornographic magazines, and plotted to install a GPS device on their vehicle 1. Seven former eBay employees were federally charged for their role in the coordinated harassment, with most convicted and sentenced to either imprisonment or home confinement 1. Ina Steiner described the experience as life-altering 1. The settlement includes no confidentiality clause, allowing the victims to publicly discuss the case 1. eBay had previously paid $3 million in criminal penalties under a deferred prosecution agreement in 2024 1.
