SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 4– 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.

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."
On
January 28
Javice and
Amar filed a
motion to compel JPM
Chase to
disclose the names of
145 employee
they claimed
did not use
messaging
applications
for work.
On
January 31,
Chase's
lawyers at
Davis Polk
opposed giving
any names, arguing
that the
request for
names was "for
the sole
purpose of
impeaching
prospective
Government
witnesses."
On
February 4 the
defendants reduced
their request
to eight
staffers. Full thread
here,
including
Judge
Hellerstein:
Who was the
second bank?
Amar's
lawyer:
Capital One.
But shouldn't
the jury have
to decide
whether
Capital One or
JPM Chase was
the one they
say was
defrauded?
Judge:
Motion
denied.
