eBay hit with $3M fine, admits to “terrorizing innocent people”::eBay must pay maximum fine for putting Massachusetts couple “through pure hell.”
“Instigated” implying conspiracy that was not found to exist, or they would have been charged.
eBay’s board found the same: https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/news/ebay-inc-issues-statement-regarding-indictments-of-previously-terminated-employees/
They’re assholes, but there are no laws against being an asshole.
“Instigated” in the age-old “will no one rid me of this turbulent priest” sense.
They weren’t charged, only because laws have always been understood to afford a loophole of plausible deniability to those in power.
Which the CCO was not afforded. Strange zig-zagging lines to draw.
Always attribute to stupidity … etc.
You’re supposed to just blindly hate the corporations, no matter the intentions or actions!!1
