According to eBay’s admissions, between approximately Aug. 5, 2019 and Aug.
23, 2019, Jim Baugh, eBay’s former Senior Director of Safety and Security,
and six other members of eBay’s security team targeted the victims for
their roles in publishing a newsletter that reported on issues of interest
to eBay sellers. Senior executives at eBay were frustrated with the
newsletter’s tone and content, and with the comments posted beneath the
newsletter’s articles. The harassment campaign arose from communications
between those executives and Baugh.
Baugh and his co-conspirators executed a harassment campaign intended to
intimidate the victims and to change the content of the newsletter’s
reporting.
....
The victims spotted the surveillance team and contacted local police. After
learning of the Natick Police Department’s investigation, Baugh made false
statements to police and internal investigators, and he and his team
deleted digital evidence related to the cyberstalking campaign and
falsified records intended to throw the police off the trail.
