Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, co-founded a shopping startup called Phia that is accused of using 'cookie stuffing' to generate commissions on sales it did not actually facilitate. This method is considered an illegal affiliate marketing tactic. According to attorney Ariel Givner, this activity is classified as wire fraud in the United States and could result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years. A Bloomberg report suggests that Phoebe was aware of these improper practices months before they were revealed to the public.
