SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 23 – 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 May 18, Javice was indicted and the case assigned to District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein.

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 Hellerstein criticized, linking it to sloppiness in the Menendez case.

Inner City Press published a book on Menendez, and is preparing one on Javice (and Chase / Dimon).
