Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe Gates is at the center of a brewing scandal after her multibillion-dollar startup, Phia, was accused of “cookie stuffing,” a deceptive practice that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.
Since July, Phia has been doing damage control after reports claimed the startup was using its technology to take credit for sales it may not have generated.
The company claimed it only recently found out about the issue and blamed it on a “bug.” But new reports claimed that the “nepo baby” knew about the illicit feature for months and may have allegedly used it to inflate their commissions.
