eBay Pays $55M to Settle Harassment Lawsuit | Calgary News

eBay is paying $55.7 million to settle a lawsuit with e-commerce bloggers David and Ina Steiner, who were targeted with threats and bizarre deliveries—including live insects and a bloody pig mask—over seven years ago. The settlement includes $48.7 million in compensation, $6 million in charitable donations (including $1 million from former CEO Devin Wenig to First Amendment groups), and no confidentiality clause, allowing the Steiners to speak freely. eBay condemned the former employees’ actions as “wrong, reprehensible,” and apologized deeply, while acknowledging criminal charges against seven former staff and a $3 million penalty it itself paid. The case, rooted in an alleged campaign to silence the Steiners’ reporting, is now officially resolved. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
