·Seems to be old news from 2019, however I just read it today.
That seems a major story, I had never heard of it. Very shocking… right and proper that the guys at the top took full responsibility for allowing a culture like that to thrive….Wenig resigned from eBay in September 2019 with a $57 million exit package.
I suspect that was before the court case was finished.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53055351
edit- he did go before the case was decided.. Nov 2022 =BOSTON - A former intelligence analyst for eBay, Inc. was sentenced today for her role in a cyberstalking campaign targeting the editor and publisher of a newsletter that eBay executives viewed as critical of the company.
Looks like the media lost interest in the UK …..

·Of course all that you read in the news, has to be taken with a grain of salt because some journalists never let the facts get in the way of a good story,
No I’m not getting on that “fake news” bandwagon….. what I’m saying is that certain points are left out of a story because they’re inconvenient and spoil the narrative, as they’re dampen the more sensational aspects of story,
Even if the journalist’s copy had all the facts, the salient points my not’ve survived the editorial staff.
Journalists are not immune to political beliefs, and sometimes this shows though, they don’t always get hold of the right end of the stick either, often because they have little or no expertise in the subject they’re reporting on.
Most journos I’ve known couldn’t find the hole in their arses without both hands,
The commercial realities of sales will always triumph over the truth when it comes to privately owned media.
Government owned or heavily controlled media is different in that apart from a very few cases, it’s a propaganda arm of the government.
These exceptions to the above like the BBC and ABC (Australia) are probably the most trust worthy new sources, but even they aren’t always beyond pushing an agenda.

Thank goodness for SubStack! Get the message direct to the people from the mouth of real journalists instead of talking heads beholden to advertising dollars and direct government influence.

·Now has anyone verified if this Studer deck was property of NASA at one time? If so then they can say they want it back at any time regardless of the property disposition or statute of limitations.
