This market will resolve to "Yes" if Phoebe Gates is arrested or detained by law enforcement by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Temporary holding at a detention facility while awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant qualifies, so long as they are held by law enforcement in an official capacity during that time. A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest 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.Trader consensus around a 97.5% probability of “No” on Phoebe Gates facing arrest by December 31 stems primarily from the absence of any criminal charges or DOJ enforcement actions more than two months after Bloomberg’s July and August reporting on cookie-stuffing practices at her AI-powered shopping app Phia. Internal Slack messages indicated founder awareness of the auto-drop tracking feature since December 2025, yet Phia quickly disabled the disputed code in July, initiated transaction reviews, and hired a compliance chief. Legal analysts note that similar affiliate-marketing cases typically resolve through civil restitution or platform bans rather than federal wire-fraud prosecutions, especially absent proven large-scale losses or prior offenses. With limited time remaining before year-end, any realistic path to arrest would require an unusually rapid investigation and indictment, outcomes historical patterns make improbable.
