I never dreamed in a million years that I would hear a story like this. And this happened on Halloween. I know some people think it might be a joke that has gone wrong. But I think that whoever did it, did it out of revenge. Or as a mark to let Paypal know that their days as being a top dog in the corporation world are numbered.
Now too bad this did not happen to Stormpay. That would have been great revenge for all the money that they stoled that they never gave back.

Explosive Blows Out Window at PayPal
ReutersSAN FRANCISCO (Nov. 1) - An explosive device blew out a thick, plate-glass window Tuesday evening at the Silicon Valley headquarters of PayPal, the online payments unit of eBay Inc.No injuries resulted when what local fire officials said was an explosive device shattered a 6-foot-square window on the ground floor of the four-story building in San Jose, California. The explosion occured outside a building exit.
Investigators were still trying to determine the nature of the device. "Whatever it was, it disintegrated," San Jose Fire Department Capt. Jose Guerrero said. "Whatever caused this was pretty strong."
About 45 employees were working in the PayPal offices when the explosion occurred at 7:24 p.m., eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said. Most employees had left the building early ahead of the Halloween holiday celebrations, he said.
"We have no reports concerning threats," Durzy said. "We are still investigating and we are working with local and federal authorities."
The PayPal offices, where 1,900 employees work, were closed Wednesday while police conducted an investigation. They are expected to reopen on Thursday.
No eBay or PayPal online services were interrupted by the blast, the spokesman said.
