Delaware Judge Keeps JPMorgan on the Hook for Charlie Javice’s Legal Fees
A Delaware judge ruled that JPMorgan Chase must continue paying Charlie Javice’s legal fees during ongoing litigation, despite the bank’s objections to the rising costs. Javice, founder of the fintech Frank, was convicted of defrauding JPMorgan by inflating data to secure a $175 million acquisition and, with co-defendant Olivier Amar, ordered to pay $288 million in restitution. She remains imprisoned for seven years and is free on bail pending appeals, while JPMorgan and Javice’s team dispute the scope of fee coverage under their contract.
