   Harville and Baugh were arrested and charged in June 2020.
   Co-conspirators and former eBay employees Philip Cooke, Brian Gilbert,
   Stephanie Popp, Veronica Zea and Stephanie Stockwell previously pleaded
   guilty for their roles in a conspiracy to cyberstalk the victims. Cooke
   was sentenced in July 2021 to 18 months in prison. Gilbert, Popp, Zea
   and Stockwell are awaiting sentencing.
   Between approximately Aug. 5, 2019 and Sept. 6, 2019, Harville, Baugh
   and their co-conspirators at eBay agreed to engage in a harassment
   campaign targeting a husband and wife in Natick, Mass. 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 as well as the substance of comments
   posted beneath the newsletter’s articles. The harassment campaign arose
   from communications between those senior executives and Baugh, who was
   eBay’s senior security employee.
   The defendants and their co-conspirators executed a three-part
   harassment campaign intended to intimidate the victims and to influence
   their reporting about eBay. The campaign included sending anonymous and
   disturbing deliveries to the victims’ home; sending private Twitter
   messages and public tweets criticizing the newsletter’s content;
   threats to visit the victims in Natick; and traveling to Natick to
   surveil the victims and installing a GPS tracking device on their car.
   The deliveries ordered to the victims’ home included a book on
   surviving the death of a spouse, a bloody pig mask, a fetal pig, a
   funeral wreath and live insects. The harassment also featured
   Craigslist posts inviting members of the public to experience sexual
   encounters at the victims’ home.
   The threatening Twitter messages were written as if they had been sent
   by eBay sellers who were unhappy with the victims’ coverage in the
   newsletter. Some of these messages posted the victims’ home address and
   threatened to show up at their home.
   On Aug. 15, 2019, Baugh, Harville and a co-conspirator traveled from
   California to Natick to surveil the victims and install a GPS tracking
   device on the victims’ car. The victims spotted the surveillance team
   and contacted local police. Harville also purchased tools intending to
   break into the victims’ garage and lied to an eBay investigator who was
   responding to the Natick Police’s request for assistance.
   After learning of the police’s investigation, Harville and Baugh
   deleted digital evidence related to the cyberstalking campaign.
   Additionally, Baugh made false statements to police and internal
   investigators and falsified records intended to throw the police off
   the trail.
   U.S. Attorney Rollins, FBI SAC Bonavolonta and Natick Police Chief
   James G. Hicks made the announcement today. eBay provided valuable
   assistance and cooperation with the investigation. Assistant U.S.
   Attorney Seth B. Kosto, Deputy Chief of Rollins’ Securities, Financial
   & Cyber Fraud Unit prosecuted the case.
