eBay Inc. Works with Law Enforcement to Put a “Bad Guy” Behind Bars

November 23, 2010

Check out this CNBC story highlighting the work of several different eBay Inc. staff departments who worked together to bring a bad actor to justice. Eric Weinstein was sentenced to five years in prison for using fraudulent names and credit cards to scam the company and avoid paying fees. Upon release from prison, he will be ordered to make monthly payments toward $900,000 in restitution to eBay.

This case is a great example of our teams collaborating effectively as part of of our ongoing commitment to do whatever it takes to protect eBay Inc.\'s customers (and occasionally, even ourselves) from cybercriminals.
