> Two unnamed executive are included in the complaint that had roles above Baugh.

eBay just released a statement[0] which alludes to both the Chief Communications Officer and the CEO (!) having been involved.

edit: Another article[1] provides more details, including that "an eBay executive told Baugh that he wanted to 'crush' those responsible for the newsletter while another executive told Baugh to 'take her down.'" One of these must be the "inappropriate communications" by the CEO, Devin Wenig, mentioned in eBay's statement.

edit 2: Still more details in another[2] article, including quotes from communications between "Executive 1" and "Executive 2."
