Amazon is investigating allegations that some of its employees have offered to leak confidential information and delete negative product reviews in exchange for money. An Amazon spokeswoman told CNN that the company has launched an investigation into the claims. Amazon has "sophisticated systems to restrict and audit access to information," the company spokeswoman said, adding that it would also punish sellers who break its rules. The Journal reported that Amazon was investigating several incidents, including some involving employees in the United States. That lawsuit targeted account holders on Fiverr.com, a marketplace for odd-jobs where "gigs" are sold for $5 and up.
