eBay Corporate Security used Broadcastify as part of their harassment scheme

EBay’s Corporate Security Team implemented a huge scheme to harrass and cyberstalk blog posters.

‘Crush This Lady.’ Inside eBay’s Bizarre Campaign Against a Blog Critic.

Security employees at the online marketplace allegedly orchestrated deliveries of live cockroaches, pornographic videos and a mask of a bloody pig’s head. The U.S. attorney’s office is investigating whether eBay targeted any other critics with harassment campaigns.

One interesting find in the FBI’s affidavit is that they used Broadcastify, both live and the archives, as part of their scheme.

lol reading more into the story from different media sources it appears they actually used/purchased scambay auctions for some of their "spy gear/tracking gear/GPS units"....how ironic, what a supply chain!

Well, you could always sue Ebay for violating your TOS. Wouldn't that be ironic? Good luck with that...
