Charlie Javice 今天被司法部起诉。 2019年被Forbes named 30 under 30 的成功人士。 又一个上了Forbes 名单的成了骗子。 2013年从 U Penn Wharton 毕业。 Frank founder criminally charged with fraud over $175 million JPMorgan deal PUBLISHED TUE, APR 4 20231:11 PM EDTUPDATED 2 HOURS AGO The Justice Department on Tuesday criminally charged Charlie Javice, founder of college financial planning platform Frank, with defrauding JPMorgan Chase out of $175 million. Javice, 31, is accused of “falsely and dramatically” inflating the number of customers Frank actually had in a scheme to “fraudulently induce” the bank to acquire the startup in 2021, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said. She stood to gain more than $45 million from the alleged deception, they added. The one-time rising tech star — who was once named as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 — was arrested Monday night in New Jersey and is expected in Manhattan federal court Tuesday afternoon. She faces four counts. They are one count of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, one count of wire fraud affecting a financial institution, one count of bank fraud, and one count of securities fraud. Three of the charges each carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. “This arrest should warn entrepreneurs who lie to advance their businesses that their lies will catch up to them, and this Office will hold them accountable for putting their greed above the law,” Damian Williams, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday also sued Javice for fraud in connection with the alleged scheme. “Charlie denies the allegations,” a spokesperson for her attorney, Alex Spiro, told CNBC. Spiro had no additional comments, the spokesperson said. JPMorgan did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The bank’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, in January called the acquisition of Frank a “huge mistake.” The charges come months after JPMorgan filed a lawsuit against Javice alleging she duped the bank into believing Frank had more than 4 million customers. In reality, the startup had fewer than 300,000, JPMorgan said in its suit. Javice used a data science professor to invent millions of fake accounts after JPMorgan pressed for confirmation of Frank’s customer base, the bank alleged. The suit included emails between the professor and Javice, including when the entrepreneur asked, “Will the fake emails look real with an eye check or better to use unique ID?” JPMorgan only discovered the discrepancy when 70% of emails sent to a batch of about 400,000 Frank customers bounced back, according to the bank. It shut down the startup in January. Javice in February filed a counterclaim, saying it was “implausible” that JPMorgan “was led to believe Frank had 4.25 million registered users when its website publicly claimed the company had helped more than 350,000 people access financial aid.”

现在的startup鱼龙混杂，收购的大公司真要擦亮眼睛看清楚才行。不要说这种骗子小公司，很多已经搞出来的科技都不一定在买下来以后真的派上用场。
就是太贪了，其实她老老实实做，也会有买家的，想卖大价钱搞些假数据，当人家摩根傻蛋，让你骗？
让我怀疑她是不是私下搞定了哪个决策人.
有意思。看起来startup要想开始建客户只能连抢带骗，都是一样没什么区别。
感觉可以当骗子的screening list了 lol
背后咋回事呢？是仇杀还是倒霉碰到三番街头遍地都是的垃圾了。
哈哈哈哈
疮破校友，这个女的怎么没有大呼迫害啊
不是，是leadership
那个是偶发事件，还是有啥背景故事？
Nathan Chen的姐姐也是上的这个30 under 30? 记得是个基因剪刀手公司。
一滴血那个女骗子面相更psycho些。大藤和这些商学院真能砸自己的牌子，他们看重的所谓的leadership其实就是忽悠人的本事。
决策人不是金瓶梅的呆萌么，这次好像是呆萌要告她啊
我说句不好听的，估计也是忽悠
我大概听了听她老板/博士后导师的传记，肯定有科学贡献，但是眼睛都盯着忽悠一把捞钱。
这榜单骗子率太高
上这个主要为了骗钱是吗
福布斯封面人物也是骗子高发。
“这么明显的假数字银行就不可能信，所以不能算我造假欺诈”
不服不行啊。😂
也可能是里应外合
确实，我有个前男友以及他的很多朋友都上过，我真是。。。只能呵呵
我擦，这一套我小时候跟老师斗智斗勇就玩腻了，居然在21世纪的美国这个mindset还能骗到钱？白女真是好混啊
同意。
what？
