In under a week, Shailin was able to create a fake publisher site, fill it with bot traffic, and make a profit. He did all of this while having the industry standard anti fraud filters installed on the site. The vast majority of the traffic that he purchased was able to beat MOAT, Double Verify and IAS's detection platforms, as it was engineered to pass their screening processes.
