Ex-execs arrested for alleged harassment of couple who run e-commerce news site.
James Baugh, 45, is eBay's former senior director of safety and security, and David Harville, 48, is eBay's former director of global resiliency—both were arrested today and charged with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses. Each charge "carr[ies] a sentence of up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of up to $250,000 and restitution," the DOJ said.
The alleged crimes took place in August and September 2019. Four other former eBay employees weren't arrested today but face the same charges. They are
Stephanie Popp, 32, eBay's former senior manager of global intelligence;
Stephanie Stockwell, 26, former manager of eBay's Global Intelligence Center (GIC);
Veronica Zea, 26, a former eBay contractor who worked as an intelligence analyst in the GIC; and
Brian Gilbert, 51, a former senior manager of special operations for eBay's Global Security Team.
