Bomb Explodes at PayPal HQ

Posted in News by Dan at 1:02 pm

I thought only this level of anger was saved for the IRS! Seriously:

An explosive device left at the eBay-owned PayPal headquarters in San Jose exploded Tuesday night, shattering a plate-glass window on the four-story building.

Some 26 employees were working inside the building at the time of the explosion. They reportedly called 911 after hearing the blast.

Thankfully nobody was hurt, but I wonder what PayPal could have possibly done to get someone that angry?

    Probably jacking everyones money and refusing to pay it back until personal banks dispute the matter over a 30 day period, in which time reputations are ruined because 10s of thousands of dollars cannot be paid out to employees due to account restrictions being placed automatically for high dollar transactions.

    No sympathy for the devil.

    I want to ditch my PP account but 2 times a year I need to get something on eBay and need to use it.

    Got a google checkout account but not sure how much better google will be than paypal, we need a real FDIC insured bank to step up to the plate of e-commerce for the masses.
