It makes me wonder how often things like this might be happening in cases that typically get written off as somebody having paranoid persecution delusions about being "gangstalked." If this couple had told me their story, I have little doubt that I wouldn't have believed them.

Happens all the time, it’s just that the bad actors are usually more competent and better at distancing themselves than the people at eBay.

A good example is what Chevron is doing right now to Steven Donziger, an attorney who won a settlement against them for their polluting in Ecuador:

Also Weinstein’s use of Black Cube:

Wow that lawyer got completely taken off the board.

I wish more people know about donziger's case

This happens even by the police. The NYPD harassed the man who filmed Eric Garner being choked to death in 2014.

> Orta has filed one lawsuit and plans to file another, alleging that the NYPD has arrested him several times in retaliation for filming the Garner video. Another lawsuit claims that Rikers Island guards put rat poison in Orta’s food.
