This market will resolve to "Yes" if Phoebe Gates is arrested between market creation and September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying arrest occurs when Phoebe Gates is taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities in any jurisdiction, voluntarily or involuntarily, and at least one of the following is true: (i) Phoebe Gates is criminally booked or processed; (ii) Phoebe Gates is taken into custody in response to a criminal arrest warrant, criminal charge, indictment, or equivalent criminal charging instrument; (iii) Phoebe Gates is held for arraignment, bail, extradition, or other criminal court proceedings other than as a witness; or (iv) Phoebe Gates is transported to a police station, immigration detention center, or equivalent criminal law enforcement center. The issuance of an arrest warrant, being named in an indictment, or being charged without Phoebe Gates being taken into physical custody will not qualify. The following will not qualify on their own: brief detention, being interviewed or questioned, being searched, house arrest, electronic monitoring, protective custody, witness protection, or medical holds. Release on bail, recognizance, bond, dismissal of charges, withdrawal of charges, acquittal, pardon, or any other post-arrest development will not affect resolution once a qualifying arrest has occurred. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The absence of any criminal charges against Phoebe Gates or her AI shopping startup Phia drives the market's 96% implied probability against arrest by September 30. A Bloomberg report detailing alleged "cookie stuffing" practices in affiliate commissions sparked recent headlines and social media speculation, yet verified reporting confirms no indictments, arrests, or active federal probes have advanced to enforcement stage. Legal experts note that proving intent for wire fraud claims would require extensive evidence gathering, making swift action improbable within the tight six-week window. High-profile connections and civil remedies as the more common outcome further anchor trader consensus. An upset would demand an unusually accelerated DOJ response, which historical patterns for similar first-time tech founder cases render highly unlikely.
