Florin Horicianu, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Ridgewood, N.Y., also received five months of electronic monitoring and was ordered to stay away from eBay employees and events, according to a statement Tuesday from the U.S. Attorney's office in San Francisco.
Horicianu pleaded guilty in May 2005 to two counts of transmitting threatening interstate communications for sending e-mails to eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman and Pierre Omidyar, the company's founder and chairman. Among the statements included in the e-mails was "I will haunt and hurt you and your family," according to court documents.
