WHATEVER IT TAKES is the extraordinary true-crime story of a middle-aged couple subjected to cyberstalking threats by the Fortune 500 company eBay. In the summer of 2019, Ina and David Steiner started being harassed online and receiving bizarre deliveries to their suburban home, including a bloody pig mask and funeral wreath. As the harassment against the two e-commerce bloggers intensified, the police and FBI closed in on a Silicon Valley giant and some very unlikely suspects. Founded on the principle that "people are basically good,” WHATEVER IT TAKES tells the story of the legal case, the toxic work culture at eBay, and how members of the security team ended up in federal prison. This is a timely true crime caper about dysfunction, the disintegration of ethics, and a couple of unsuspecting journalists whose lives are changed forever.
