Transcript excerpt
I cannot believe that this is the news for the day. Bill Gates' daughter and her tier up are in a boatload of trouble for fraud, and it's not sort of what you'd expect. So it seems as if her company basically does cookie stuffing. So cookie stuffing is when you steal, the affiliate commissions that somebody else is supposed to get. So you're getting paid for sales on commission that you didn't drive. And I remember people doing this a lot with EPN bad in the day, eBay partner worse. And they went to jail for this. Which brings me to this y'all because if you know about the Forbes 30 under 30, you know. And her company, FIA, has, like, the craziest investor best. Some that are, like, super important technology best, but also just like a lot of celebrities, Jessica Alba, Alex Turrell, Khloe Kardashian. But the question in my mind really is, is Phoebe Gates going to get in trouble the way the people that I knew went to jail for this kind of stuff? Or does it all get swept under the rug? I would make my bet on the ladder. What about you?
