Feds Bust Cookie-Stuffing Code Seller

What kind of idiot runs a scam like this? It's not like you aren't going to get caught. I don't even want to know what happens to people sent to prison for running a "cookie-stuffing" operation.


Ebay generally pays referral fees to so-called partners or "affiliate" websites when an advertisement on an affiliate site directly leads to a sale on eBay. The cookie-stuffing program, according to the charging document, would trick eBay into paying referral fees "despite the fact that no eBay advertisement or link on the affiliate website or webpage had actually been clicked."
