He was not involved in the blockade and all that which was a PayPal vendetta not eBay. Amazon was also involved with some of the Wikileaks blockade when they kicked WL off their cloud servers. This is the original founder: http://www.omidyar.com/team/pierre-omidyar He is still on the board: http://investor.ebayinc.com/directors.cfm He may still have some shares in it but not one of the big shareholders: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/ebay/instit...l-holdings He made his big money when eBay went public. I'm sure Greenwald has checked him out too. And others. From what I have seen there are no alarms coming from Julian Assange, Anonymous, and other public whistleblowers about this being a bad move.
