eBay security boss pleads guilty to stalking couple
 

Cross-country campaign one of the strangest

If you ever wondered if big corporates could be trusted to act reasonably, the strange case of eBay’s complaints department is a compelling case for intense government regulation.

According to Bloomberg, former eBay security director Jim Baugh is about to plead guilty to running a bizarre 2019 cyberstalking campaign against a couple who ran a website critical of the company.

Baugh had been scheduled to face trial in late May. In a court filing on Tuesday, his defense attorney, William Fick, asked a federal judge in Boston to allow Baugh to change his plea via videoconference.

Baugh and five other former eBay employees were a little concerned that Ina and David eCommerce Bytes’s site had upset the company's then-Chief Executive Officer Devin Wenig.
