This is wild. I can’t believe I haven’t heard anything about this until now.

Some of this stuff is pretty dark. Mailing them spiders was bad enough but then mailing a married couple books on how to deal with the death of a spouse? jfc.

But yeah, again, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard anything about this at all, I mean the firing of an ebay ceo for stuff like this, I feel either the story was buried, I just glanced over the articles, or it was just lost to the noise of other news (which, given the timing of other stuff happening this is probably most likely what happened.)



It was discussed here about a year ago: https://qht.co/item?id=23629056


Definitely not buried, it's come up on many tech news sites over the past couple years and has been discussed here. You just missed it, happens sometimes :)


Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too.

Wild though!!
