Not having read / watched the press brefing my first reaction to this comment was, I admit, a bit eye-rolly. Then I watched it.

If that is your reaction, seriously, go and watch it. It really is an extraordinary set of allegations. It's nine minutes long and it just gets weirder and weirder.

And he's still leaving details out! I can't wait to read the complaint itself.

The CEO gets fired and you want to punish the company who fired him. Who's side are you on?

I take it as the CEO left for reasons stated at the time as other than this incident, when in fact eBay actually knew about the CEO’s involvement but hoped the real reason wouldn’t ever come out.

The company created an environment which enabled this sort of behaviour. This wasn't some rogue employee operating under the radar - this was a conspiracy through multiple levels of management.

Yup, same here.
