Phoebe Gates is unlikely to face the maximum 20 years behind bars for potential charges stemming from the “cookie stuffing” allegations engulfing her AI-powered shopping startup Phia — but she could get walloped with civil lawsuits and financial penalties if the claims are proven, experts told The Post. Star Kashman, founding partner of Cyber Law Firm, said federal wire fraud carries a statutory maximum of two decades years in prison, along with potential financial penalties — but stressed that prosecutors would first have to prove that Gates knowingly participated in a scheme to defraud. “This can’t be a careless or negligent error,” she told The Post.
