eBay execs jailed for cyberstalking web critics
Two now-former eBay executives who pleaded guilty to cyberstalking charges this year have been sent down and fined tens of thousands of dollars., ex-senior director of safety and security at the internet tat bazaar, was sentenced to nearly five years – 57 months – behind bars, plus two years of supervised release and fined $40,000 for harassing, both electronically and physically, Ina and David Steiner, who produce EcommerceBytes, a website and newsletter critical of eBay.
, eBay's former director of global resiliency, was sentenced to two years in prison plus two years supervised release, and fined $20,000 for his role in what prosecutors described as a harassment campaign directed at the Steiners.
eBay fired Baugh, Harville, and five co-defendants – also eBay staff – that year when news of the harassment campaign reached senior executives. Of the seven collared in 2020 for their role in the intimidation operation, only Harville and Bough protested their innocence, the rest admitting their crimes, though both men changed their pleas to guilty earlier this year.
Harville and Bough were each convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and through facilities of interstate commerce, two counts of stalking through interstate travel, and two counts of stalking through facilities of interstate commerce.

Obesity and critical care nutrition: current practice gaps and directions for future research - Critical CareBackground This review has been developed following a panel discussion with an international group of experts in the care of patients with obesity in the critical care setting and focuses on current best practices in malnutrition screening and assessment, estimation of energy needs for patients with obesity, the risks and management of sarcopenic obesity, the value of tailored nutrition recommendations, and the emerging role of immunonutrition. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) increasingly present with overweight and obesity that require individualized nutrition considerations due to underlying comorbidities, immunological factors such as inflammation, and changes in energy expenditure and other aspects of metabolism. While research continues to accumulate, important knowledge gaps persist in recognizing and managing the complex nutritional needs in ICU patients with obesity. Available malnutrition screening and assessment tools are limited in patients with obesity due to a lack of validation and heterogeneous factors impacting nutrition status in this population. Estimations of energy and protein demands are also complex in patients with obesity and may include estimations based upon ideal, actual, or adjusted body weight. Evidence is still sparse on the role of immunonutrition in patients with obesity, but the presence of inflammation that impacts immune function may suggest a role for these nutrients in hemodynamically stable ICU patients. Educational efforts are needed for all clinicians who care for complex cases of critically ill patients with obesity, with a focus on strategies for optimal nutrition and the consideration of issues such as weight stigma and bias impacting the delivery of care. Conclusions Current nutritional strategies for these patients should be undertaken with a focus on individualized care that considers the whole person, including the possibility of preexisting comorbidities, altered metabolism, and chronic stigma, which
