Indeed. From the Boston Globe article [1] "... the article stated that Executive 1 “has been unable to stop a decline in market sales, but trying to dissuade sellers from turning to Amazon (and trying to get Amazon to stop recruiting sellers) may not be the best tactic." From the couple's blog [2]: "eBay's CEO has been unable to stop a decline in marketplace sales, but trying to dissuade sellers from turning to Amazon (and trying to get Amazon to stop recruiting sellers) may not be the best tactic." If proven true, the CEO was not only aware, but also condoned such tactics, and ordered to "Take her down". This will make the situation even worse for ebay's board to justify why they didn't fire the guy on the spot.

"Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig also left the company that month. While he isn't named in the criminal complaint, eBay confirmed that he is "Executive 1" who allegedly gave the initial order to "Take her down" (which was then relayed to Baugh by "Executive 2")." https://www.wired.com/story/ebay-employees-charged-cyberstalking-harassment-campaign/ https://www.wired.com/story/ebay-employees-charged-cyberstal...
