The subhead misses out the worst stuff. How on earth?
Criminal charges still in the works, I would hope.
One of them was already jailed back in 2021 and the others were awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty

Two have been jailed. Cooke for 18m and Baugh for 5y. There is a third named person that has not been charged but was fired.
Thank you! Surprised the report didn't mention that (I was too lazy to do a search).
S'all good! I was reading about it yesterday and was surprised that they already had the court cases
Yeah seriously. This is some wannabe mafia shit. Spiders? Funeral wreath? Tracking their car?
Dude you work at a e-commerce company that peaked in 2005.
For real! I was like, "oh, they probably got some emails and calls that were a bit abrasive"
Wow, was I wrong!! Not only are these executives some real snowflakes, but they're also psychopaths. Shit, i hope they don't read this message, lest a fetal pig be delivered to my door ๐
