For Charlie Javice Trial For Fooling JPMC She Argues for Synthetic Data Experts Fintech Fraud

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 27 – JPMorgan Chase bought a start-up called Frank, which claimed to have 4 million students signed up to file their FAFSA forms, for $175 million. Then Chase learned Frank had only 300,000 customers.

On April 4, 2023, Frank founder Ms. Charlie Javice was brought before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses and was freed on $2 million bond.

On January 24, 2025 Inner City Press published the first book on the case, Fintech Fraudster? here

Inner City Press live tweeted the more than two hour hearing on January 23, here. Trial was delayed one week to February 18; the motion to sever was denied. The basis for the delay was late production of Amar's Google Drive, which Judge Alvin Hellerstein criticized.

On January 27 Javice argued for inclusion of her two expert witnesses, Ms. Carla Holtze Ceel on digital analytics, and Dr. Konstantinos Psounis on "the role of synthetic data."
