Charlie Javice, founder of the college financial aid startup Frank, was convicted on March 28, 2025, of defrauding JPMorgan Chase in a high-profile case involving securities, wire, and bank fraud. The jury found that she fabricated user data to mislead the bank during its $175 million acquisition of Frank, which was later revealed to have significantly fewer users than claimed. Javice's sentencing is set for August 26, 2025, highlighting the need for greater scrutiny in the fintech sector.
