Charlie Javice Convicted of Defrauding JPMorgan Chase in $175M Fraud Case
Charlie Javice, the founder of the student financial aid startup Frank, has been found guilty of defrauding JPMorgan Chase out of $175 million. The verdict was announced on March 28, 2025, following a trial that highlighted the deceptive practices used by Javice to inflate her company's value before its acquisition by the banking giant.
Javice was convicted on charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, and conspiracy. The case drew significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the fraud and the involvement of JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the United States. Prosecutors argued that Javice fabricated data to misrepresent Frank's user base, leading JPMorgan to overpay for the startup in 2021.
The conviction marks a significant fall from grace for Javice, who was once celebrated as a young entrepreneur in the fintech sector. The trial's outcome serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of corporate malfeasance and the importance of due diligence in business acquisitions.
