United States District Attorney for Massachusetts Andrew E. Lelling (2-L) announces charges of conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and witness tampering against six ex-eBay executives Joseph Bonavolonta, the FBI special agent leading the case, said the group was inspired by the movie Johnny Be Good, a 1988 sports comedy in which friends arranged a series of 'unwanted and distracting items and people' delivered to their football coach’s home, including an elephant and a male stripper.' For a while they succeeded, psychologically devastating these victims for weeks as they desperately tried to figure out what was going on and stop it,' Lelling told reporters at a press conference on Monday.
Court documents detail how two members of the company's executive leadership team orchestrated a three-part plot to go after the middle-aged couple after their newsletter published an article about litigation involving eBay. In addition to the disturbing deliveries of fly larvae, spiders, roaches and a self-help book about coping with the loss of a spouse, the employees set up fake social media accounts to send threatening messages to the couple, authorities said.
After the bloody pig mask was delivered, the editor received a message saying: 'DO I HAVE UR ATTENTION NOW????', according to court documents.
In one instance, the masterminds of the bizarre vendetta ordered a preserved pig fetus to be delivered to their victims, but it was never sent to the Natick couple because the seller began making inquiries.
The FBI said the three-part plot was inspired by the 1988 comedy Johnny Be Good, where teens arrange en elephant and a male stripper delivered to their coach's house
According to federal prosecutors, the defendants had pornography addressed to the victims sent to their next-door neighbors' house, and took out an ad on Craigslist inviting 'singles, couples and swingers' to come over to the newsletter publisher's home to party each night............
HIGHLIGHTS & EXCERPTS:
*** Former eBay employees have been charged in a disturbing scheme to stalk and harass a publication that was critical of their company. It was a “systematic campaign fueled by the resources of a Fortune 500 company to emotionally and psychologically terrorize.........

***... a “systematic campaign fueled by the resources of a Fortune 500 company to emotionally and psychologically terrorize this ... couple in Natick”, US Attorney Andrew E. Lelling said at a news conference.
***.... employees also tried to obstruct the police investigation into the matter.
*** “Aware that the police were investigating, the defendants allegedly sought to interfere with the investigation by lying to the police about eBay’s involvement while pretending to offer the company’s assistance with the harassment, as well as by lying to eBay’s lawyers about their involvement," Lelling’s office said.
.***.... tormented the couple, Gilbert contacted the wife, feigning concern about their harassment, prosecutors said.
*** “In our experience, we have not seen something like this, at least not recently,” said U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts ... really elaborate steps taken to effectuate that goal.”
*** Executives of eBay undertook an “extensive” campaign of harassment ........
*** “... systematic effort of senior employees of a major company to destroy the lives ... goal was to cause this couple so much distress it would cause them to stop printing their newsletter...
***... Hicks said it was the tenacity of his detectives that determined it was bigger than it looked like initially.
*** “This case ... it could have easily been dismissed as a routine harassment case,” Hicks said.
*** When the bloody pig mask arrived at the couple’s home, the account sent the wife a message that read, "DO I HAVE UR ATTENTION NOW????” prosecutors said. ... On Aug. 15, surveillance of the couple intensified.
*** They are both charged with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to commit witness tampering ...
*** “It was a determined, systematic effort of senior employees of a major company to destroy the lives ... all because they published content company executives didn’t like,” said Lelling.
*** They also sent pizza to the couple’s home at 4:30 a.m. and also advertised a fake yard sale that told people to just go into the house if no one was outside, as well as swingers parties, telling people to show up at the home after 10 p.m. for the sex parties.
***Court documents allege increasingly disturbing, culminating with 'doxxing'
*** The third phase of the twisted plot allegedly involved secretly surveilling the victims in their home ... months-long campaign of physical and virtual terror against blogger
*** at least six eBay employees set out on a months-long campaign of physical and virtual terror against blogger Ina Steiner, which included the sending of a preserved pig fetus, fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, pornography, adult entertainers, implied death threats, social media harassment laced with foul obscenities, defacement of property and the purchasing of equipment to both commit breaking and entering and unlawful GPS monitoring of her automobile? It seems almost too far-fetched to possibly be true. ... email, text and WhatsApp communications quoted in the complaint, aim to protect eBay justified their “any means necessary” alleged criminal enterprise.
*** No doubt eBay’s leadership felt under a wholesale assault and Steiner was just one of the culprits. But it is all so very sad. Lives and careers ruined and for what? What good has come from any of this? It is tragic for everyone involved, most especially for poor Steiner and her husband. I was never a fan of Steiner’s, but she certainly earned nothing more than annoyance from the eBay teams and not the horrible cruelty and harassment that is alleged to have been perpetrated against her.
I can only assume that Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Mark Wilson, whose affidavit was filed in support of the criminal complaint,
DOJ is betting that it can get one or more of the more junior players to flip on these executives in the hopes of avoiding jail time. Much more will be revealed in the coming weeks and months.
