As we’ve previously written, the case involved deliveries of live cockroaches, a funeral wreath, a book about surviving the loss of a spouse, and a bloody pig mask to the home of a couple who run a news website. There were also harassing messages sent via email and Twitter, and an attempt to install a GPS tracking device on the victims’ car. Criminal charges resulted in guilty pleas and prison terms for former eBay employees.
The victims were Ina and David Steiner of Natick, Massachusetts, who run the news website EcommerceBytes. “David and I officially settled the lawsuit we filed in 2021 against eBay and its former executives over the stalking and harassment campaign we endured in 2019 designed to stop our reporting,” Ina Steiner wrote on EcommerceBytes yesterday. “The landmark civil rights settlement includes $55.7 million in compensation and charitable commitments.”
What
note not ACTUAL pig head, so not technically NSFW but it looks really unpleasant especially in thumbnail so whatever

Who the fuck thought this was a genius plan? Please tell me they were gakked out of their gourds on coke and meth or something. Jesus that’s . . . special.

I don't know what that photo is and frankly I am not going to find out. This post needs a Content Warning!

It's a pig mask.
...I was just watching a crime video of a girl that was sent a pig stuffed animal before her hitman came to off her.

Gangstalking is real, but laced with conspiracies to make you think it's just people with mental illness.

Obviously there was a real conspiracy in this case. If this was happening to me, though, I wouldn't call it "gang stalking", because that term applies to a delusion.
