eBay agreed to pay nearly US$50m to couple sent cockroaches, bloody pig mask

eBay Inc agreed to pay almost US$50 million to a Massachusetts couple in the US, who said former employees of the company targeted them with threats and bizarre anonymous deliveries — including live insects, a funeral wreath and a bloody pig Halloween mask, according to settlement details released on Tuesday. The parties reported reaching a tentative settlement in February as the case was headed to trial, but they were unable to finalise it. David and Ina Steiner asked a federal judge in June to restore the case to the trial calendar and reached a new settlement this month.
