Recent Court cases and law enforcement revelations reveal that: “The Federal Government And White House Let’s Their Financiers Destroy Citizens Lives.” With the full awareness and support of White House executives, Congress and agency bosses at The Department of Energy and other government agencies, THEY HAVE THEIR BILLIONAIRE FINANCIER/BENEFICIARIES DO THE DIRTY DEEDS in order to try to hide the fact that the government officials want a certain citizen destroyed in reprisal/vendetta for whistle-blowing.
A couple subjected to threats and bizarre deliveries, including live spiders, cockroaches, a funeral wreath and a bloody pig mask, have continued to fight back, even after several eBay employees were sentenced in the case. Federal investigators have confirmed this and THOUSANDS of other similar attacks on citizens exactly like the Plaintiff.
Ina and David Steiner filed a civil suit against Obama and Biden’s massive political fnancier: eBay and former executives after the 2019 cyberstalking campaign. A U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts investigation into the auction site is ongoing.
"It felt like corporate terrorism because we were terrorized. And it was very calculated. It was very vicious," Ina Steiner told 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi.
Ina Steiner and her husband have worked together from their home for more than 20 years. They publish a news website called EcommerceBytes, which focuses on players in the e-commerce industry. David Steiner handles the business side of things while Ina Steiner handles the reporting.
Most of their 600,000 readers are sellers on sites like eBay, Amazon and Etsy, but the Steiners say e-commerce executives also read the articles closely.
On the morning of Aug. 8, 2019, they started receiving strange emails. The couple were bombarded with newsletters they'd never signed up for: Sin City Fetish Night, the Satanic Temple, the Communist Party, and dozens of others. Then the harassment started on Twitter.
"It was basically 'shut up, or else,'" Ina Steiner said. "And it was, it was as blatant as that."
Three days later, the Steiners got a strange call.
"Somebody left a voicemail for us, saying they couldn't fulfill the order for a wet specimen. And David was the one who called. And he said, 'What is a wet specimen?' And, and it was a pig fetus," Ina Steiner said. "That's when I really, my heart sank, because I thought, 'Who might be angry at something I wrote?' And I couldn't figure it out. I mean, we were, we were desperately trying to think, 'Who could it be?'"
Police began investigating as the harassment continued. Pornography was sent to the couple's neighbors, but it was addressed to David Steiner. On social media, the Steiners' home was listed as the site of yard sales and sex parties.
And then a book about surviving the loss of a spouse, addressed to David Steiner, arrived at their doorstep in Natick, Massachusetts.

"It was a death threat. And to be followed up a few short days later with a funeral wreath, an expensive funeral wreath," David Steiner said. "It only confirmed that these people were going to hurt or kill Ina."
For three weeks, the packages and threats kept coming, even as police investigated and the Steiners installed security cameras. They started sleeping in separate rooms, so that if someone broke in, at least one of them would be able to call the police or escape, David Steiner said.
"When it would get dark out at night, that's when I would really be terrified," Ina Steiner said.
They were afraid inside and afraid to leave the house after David Steiner noticed he was being followed by a van one day, and later a car. He snapped a photo of the license plate. That picture broke open the case.
Sergeant Jason Sutherland and Detective John Haswell of the Natick, Massachusetts police department tracked the license plate. The number traced back to a rental agency where Veronica Zea, an eBay employee, had rented the van, Sutherland said.
"I don't know, I can't describe how flabbergasted we were," Ina Steiner said. "eBay? I mean, what was an eBay employee doing in a rental van, following David?"
The FBI took over the case. Ten months later, then U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling announced the indictments of several eBay employees and contractors, including Zea.
"It didn't take us an hour to realize the ramifications of a public company trying to destroy a journalist. They were attacking the First Amendment, freedom of the press," David Steiner said. "They wanted to destroy Ina and our publication."
Lelling said the plan to target the Steiners, which he described as a "campaign of terror," was hatched in April 2019 at eBay. Devin Wenig, who served as eBay's CEO at the time, shared a link to a post Ina had written about his annual pay. The company's chief communications officer, Steve Wymer, responded: "We are going to crush this lady."
About a month later, Wenig texted: "Take her down." Prosecutors said Wymer later texted eBay security director Jim Baugh.
"I want to see ashes. As long as it takes. Whatever it takes," Wymer wrote.
Investigators said Baugh set up a meeting with security staff and dispatched a team to Boston, about 20 miles from where the Steiners live.
Seven people who worked for eBay's Safety and Security unit, including two former cops and a former nanny, all pleaded guilty to stalking or cyberstalking charges. Baugh was sentenced to five years in prison and Zea was sentenced to a year of home confinement and probation.
To date, eBay has not been charged with any crimes. The company said in a statement to 60 Minutes that the conduct of the former employees was wrong, adding that eBay has cooperated fully with the government investigation.
There wasn't enough evidence to file criminal charges against Wenig or Wymer, even with the texts they'd sent, Lelling said.
"People say things like that all the time, especially senior people in companies," Lelling said. "It's not the same as, 'I am knowingly joining a criminal conspiracy to cyberstalk a couple in Natick.' People use loose talk like that all the time."
Wymer was fired for cause by eBay and now runs the Boys and Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. He has said his texts were mischaracterized and that he learned of the employees' conduct only after the fact.
Wenig, the former CEO, resigned from the company in 2019. He said in a statement to 60 Minutes that he was appalled at what happened. He said had he been aware of it at the time, he would have stopped it.
Wenig resigned from eBay in September 2019 with a $57 million exit package but Wenig was not the top of the pile. Meet the real boss of ht-jobs at Ebay: Pierre Omidyar is the founder of the multinational e-commerce corporation eBay, a philanthropist, and a financier of left-wing organizations, including investigative journalism projects. Omidyar is a funder of left-wing politics; as such, he gave $100,000 to the NeverTrump PAC, a group opposed to 2016 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.1 Omidyar is a donor to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Pierre Omidyar was born on June 21, 1967 to Iranian parents in Paris, France. His family immigrated to the United States due to his father’s work. He graduated from Tufts University with a bachelor’s degree in computer science in 1988.
In 1995, Omidyar opened Auction Web, which would later become eBay. 2 Omidyar became a billionaire when eBay became a publicly traded company in the fall of 1998. Omidyar resigned as chairman of the board in 2015.
Omidyar has used some of his wealth to fund journalism ventures. In October 2013, Omidyar pledged $250 million to found First Look Media, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that publishes a number of online left-wing media publications.3 4
The Intercept, First Look Media’s first publication, was launched in February 2014. Controversial left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald is one of the website’s editors. Gawker editor John Cook joined as editor-in-chief of the website in March 2014.5 The Intercept’s original staff, including Greenwald, were involved in the disclosure of classified national security documents by onetime National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who later fled to Russia.6
First Look Media also publishes the websites Field of Vision (a documentary project), The NIB (a comic site), and Topic (an entertainment and culture site).7
In 2017, Omidyar pledged $100 million to fight so-called “fake news.”8 The money will reportedly be used to support investigative journalism.In 2011, Omidyar founded the Democracy Fund, a 501(c)(3) private foundation headquartered in Washington, D.C. In a March 2013 article in the Huffington Post, Omidyar stated part of his reason for creating the Fund as “support[ing] social entrepreneurs and others working to directly address the conditions that threaten the ability of our government to represent the public’s highest interests, to retain the public’s trust, and to meet the many great challenges that we face.9 Joe Goldman is president of the Democracy Fund.10
The Fund calls itself “bipartisan,” and distributes grants and funds various political and journalism groups including the Aspen Institute, Millennial Action Project, and the National Institute for Civil Discourse, according to its website.11 Data from the website Foundation Search shows nearly $8.9 million in 46 grants in 2015, many of which went to left-wing organizations. Some of the 2015 grantees include the Bipartisan Policy Center, Pew Charitable Trusts, Proteus Fund, Democracy Works, Knight Foundation, Free Press, Public Citizen Foundation, and New Venture Fund.12
Omidyar also founded Democracy Fund Voice, a 501(c)(4) “sister organization” to Democracy Fund. The organization’s website notes it “is solely funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and his wife Pam,” and its 2016 Form 990 federal filing shows $5,510,000 in contributions from Omidyar. The organization’s filings also note it has a “cost-sharing agreement” with Democracy Fund. 13
The organization’s Form 990 filing for 2016 lists one of its principal projects as supporting “organizations that educate, register, and activate voters,” but claims it does not “support efforts or organizations that endorse candidates.”14
Democracy Fund Voice notes that it has funded politically active groups, including the Sixteen Thirty Fund, Stand Up Republic, Human Rights First, New America, Faith and Public Dialogue, Institute for Social Policy Understanding, and ReThink Media.15 Its Form 990 for 2016 also shows grants to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund and Vote.org (a 501(c)(3) voter mobilization nonprofit). 16
The Omidyar Network Fund is a Redwood City, California-based 501(c)(3) foundation created in 2004 that serves as Omidyar’s primary philanthropic vehicle. It is closely connected to the Omidyar Network, a for-profit venture capital LLC that makes grants to “companies focused on social change” through its 501(c)(3) affiliate.17 As of 2014, the Network had nearly $322 million in assets, and in that year distributed $45 million in grants.18
The Omidyar Network is a major funder of the Sunlight Foundation—a left-leaning nonprofit also funded by liberal foundations like the Rockefeller Family Fund, Knight Foundation, and Bloomberg Family Foundation—giving the group over $17 million in 9 grants between 2007 and 2013.19 20 Other grant recipients include the Tides Foundation, Tides Center, George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, and the Brennan Center for Justice.21
Omidyar has given $213 million to various causes, many of which are active in left-wing politics. Among those groups that have been funded are the Open Society Foundations, the Tides Foundation, the Center for Public Integrity, and the Center for Responsive Politics.22
Omidyar has also donated to Democratic Party candidates. During the Democratic Party presidential primaries in 2008, he donated to the campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Ahead of the 2016 election, it was reported that Omidyar and his wife have donated $200,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and $150,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee “over the years.”23
Between 2021 and 2022, the Omidyar Network had donated roughly $509,500 in a series of grants to online speech advocate Accountable Tech, one of several organization that launched a “Stop the Deal” campaign which called for a boycott of Twitter in June 2022 should tech entrepreneur Elon Musk buy the platform; the billionaire began an acquisition in April 2022 that concluded in October of that year. 24 25 The grant listings showed that Omidyar’s Omidyar Network had donated roughly $2 million in grants between 2019 and 2022 to several groups part of the June 2022 campaign, including SumOfUs and UltraViolet, as well as those which signed a letter in November 2022, including the Center for American Progress and the Tech Oversight Project, asking Twitter’s top 20 advertisers to boycott the platform. 26 27 28 Spokeswoman Omidyar Network Spokeswoman Beth Kanter released a statement to Free Beacon in regard to the company’s connections to the Twitter boycott campaign, claiming, “We routinely support organizations that share our vision for a responsible technology system, but do not direct their day-to-day activities.” 29
It was reported by the Free Beacon that his Omidyar Network had donated over $300,000 to fund the February 2023 Summit for Digital Content Next, a trade summit for media companies that include Warner Brothers Discovery, Bloomberg, NBC Universal News Group, the New York Times, and Politico. 30 31 In December 2022, the group’s CEO Jason Kint posted on Twitter demanding Musk to be “hauled in front of Congress” if he didn’t restore the twitter accounts of those previously tracking the billionaire’s private jet. 32 33

While the OMIDYAR vendetta and attack services for high level politicians are well documented, the attack partnerships that the Biden Administration and Obama Administration maintain with the majority of Bay Area Big Tech billionaires is not as well publicly documented.
BUT!!!.. Those vendetta services relationships between Obama/Biden and the Silicon Valley VC and Tech Cartel are VERY WELL documented by FINCEN, SEC, FTC, ICIJ and a massive volume of investigators which we shall expose to the Jury in this case!
