@bloombergbusiness: Phia co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni pushed for features in the startup’s software that took credit for sales it didn’t drive. The founders were aware of the practice for at least seven months. Olivia Solon reports. #business #news #retail #app
In Phoebe‘s defense, her dad taught her that you can steal someone else’s operating system, turn it into your most lucrative product, and become a billionaire with no consequences whatsoever.
