‘Infuriating’: How a Silicon Valley insider got away with eBay stalking, harassment scandal

FOR THE FIRST time since eBay faced a national scandal involving a horrific stalking campaign, the tech giant is formally admitting the involvement of company executives including a Silicon Valley insider — Steve Wymer.

The San Jose-based company last month entered into a deferred prosecution agreement — a deal granting eBay amnesty if it agrees to certain conditions and company changes — after facing six criminal charges including stalking, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. As part of the deal, eBay agreed to pay $3 million and formally admit the extent of the heinous scheme that unfolded under its roof.
