Cyber Crimes | The Ebay Stalking Scandal & The Suicide of Nate Bronstein

An estimated 850,000 adults in the United States are cyberstalked each year.

Ina and David Steiner run a blog called ECommerceBytes. Their website is a resource for sellers on a number of platforms, from Etsy to Amazon. In 2019, Ina wrote some pieces regarding eBay and the exorbitant salaries of their executives. These articles got the couple onto the radar of senior executives at the company. A bloodied pigs head face mask and a funeral wreath were among the terrifying objects sent to Ina and David. There is currently a lawsuit ongoing between the Steiners and the people involved in the cyberstalking incidents.

Teenager Nate Bronstein was struggling with not being able to attend school during the pandemic in 2021. He changed to the prestigious Latin School in Illinois, mainly because they were offering face-to-face classes. When he started at the new school, the other students were not quick to help Nate to fit in. Nate was bullied relentlessly on social media and was told to kill himself. In January 2022, Nate hanged himself from the shower in his home.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cyberstalking of Ina and David Steiner, as well as the cyberbullying that resulted in the suicide of Nate Bronstein.
