eBay’s Cockroach Cult: The Story of a Stalking Scandal
<i>Mr. Wenig and Mr. Wymer have no such worries. In June, Mr. Wenig was re-elected to the board of General Motors, a position that pays $317,000 a year. Mary Barra, GM’s chief executive, called the cyberstalking scandal “regrettable” but noted “it didn’t involve any GM business.”<p>Mr. Wymer has a new job, as the chief executive of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. The chair of the board said the nonprofit was “aware” of what happened at eBay, but believes Mr. Wymer is “a leader with integrity” and was the unanimous choice for the job.</i><p>I'm uncomfortable with the way that "cancellation" can destroy people's careers without a proper trial, but after reading the article I'm also disgusted that these two are able to continue their careers without apparent repercussion.<p>Is the problem that I'm trusting the article without allowing the two to defend themselves?  Is it better to trust the judicial system is sufficient?  Or are extra-judicial "mob style" punishments actually a good thing in cases like this?
