eBay agrees to $3M fine over couple's harassment case, civil suit continues

3 of them went to jail which would seem like rather more of a deterrent to wannabe corporate capos than their former employer getting fined enough to put a dent in quarterly earnings

there was also prison time. FTA:

Several of the executives and employees were arrested and convicted on federal charges. One executive, security head Jim Baugh, got nearly five years in prison. The company's CEO at the time, Devin Wenig, was referenced, but not by name, in federal charging documents. He was never charged, but did lose his job. In addition to Baugh, former head of security, the convicted eBay minions are:

David Harville, former Director of Global Resiliency, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison in September 2022; Stephanie Popp, former Senior Manager of Global Intelligence, who was sentenced to 12 months in prison in October 2022; Philip Cooke, a former Senior Manager of Security Operations, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 12 months of home confinement in July 2021; Stephanie Stockwell and Veronica Zea, a former Manager of Global Intelligence and a contract intelligence analyst, respectively, who were each sentenced to one year in home confinement in October and November 2022. Brian Gilbert, a former Senior Manager of Security Operations, has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

Where do you think stuff that professional shoplifting rings steal ends up?

The stalking referenced in OP is a bit of a surprise, but none of the stories in these comments are.

(google translation from an article in Greek language)(https://www.capital.gr/o-kostas-stoupas-grafei/2208004/ubris...)

Hubris was a basic concept of the worldview of the ancient Greeks. When someone, overestimating his abilities and power (physical [1], but mainly political [2], military [3] and economic[4]), behaved violently, arrogantly and offensively towards others, the laws of the state and above all against the unwritten divine law -which imposed limits on human action-, he was considered to have committed "infamy", i.e. he presented behavior in which he attempted to transcend his mortal nature and assimilate himself to the gods [5], consequently the insulting and exasperating them.

This violent, insolent and arrogant attitude/behavior, which for the ancient Greek world was a violation of the moral order and an attempt to overturn the social balance and the order of the world in general, was believed to (repeatedly, and even after warnings from the gods themselves [ 6]) ultimately led to the downfall and destruction of the "insolent"[7] insolence > revile > revile).

Attributing the concept of hubris and its consequences, as at least presented in its most ancient form, with the scheme hubris→ati→nemesis→tisis [8] we can say that the ancients believed that a "hubris"[9] usually caused the intervention of the gods, and especially of Zeus, who sent to the insulter the "aten"[10], i.e. the cloudiness, the blindness of the mind. This, in turn, led the insulter to new insults, until he committed a very great folly, fell into a very serious error, which caused "nemesin"[11], the wrath and revenge of the gods, which brought about the "tisin"[12], i.e. his punishment and crushing/destruction.

From the classical era onwards, in many cases the concepts of Atis, Judgment and Nemesis seem to acquire in the consciousness of people an equivalent meaning, that of divine punishment.

The word Úbrís beyond the words its modern Greek use with the meanings "curses" (mainly in the plural "Úvreis") and consequent "something that affects someone's honor and dignity" -which are normal developments of the ancient meaning-, several sometimes it is also used in our time, at a more careful level of discourse, with its ancient Greek meaning to characterize similar arrogant behaviors of our fellow human beings.
