SXSW: Insane Cyberstalking EBay Court Case Doc from Producers of 'The Staircase'
WHATEVER IT TAKES
Directed by: Jenny Carchman
Executive Produced by: Mandy Chang, Lizzie Fox, Casey Meurer, Nicole Stott, Jonathan Silberberg, Allyson Luchak, Jenny Carchman
In the summer of 2019, a middle-aged couple are subjected to cyberstalking threats and bizarre deliveries including a bloody pig mask and funeral wreath. As the harassment intensifies, the police and FBI close in on a Silicon Valley giant and some very unlikely suspects. "Whatever It Takes" tells the extraordinary story of eBay, a Fortune 500 company founded on the principle that "people are basically good”, and how members of their security team ended up in federal prison after trying to protect the CEO from a corporate raider. This is a timely true crime caper about dysfunction, the disintegration of ethics, and a couple of unsuspecting journalists whose lives are changed forever.
