Feds charge six eBay employees with cyberststalking couple

[Ms. Toad]

15. It wasn't just a bad review.

It charges six former eBay employees and contractors, including Baugh, with a cyberstalking campaign against the publishers of an ecommerce news site that covered the company. The objective: Get the publishers—a married couple living in Natick, Massachusetts—to stop writing negative stories about eBay, and figure out the identity of one particularly vociferous commenter. Their alleged methods were outrageous, as were their attempts to cover it up.

Still not justified, but a bit more understandable since they were not just a cranky customer, they apparently had a platform that might make a bigger difference than a single voice.
