Charlie Javice, who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for defrauding JPMorgan Chase, is asking the Trump administration for a pardon, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
Javice founded Frank, a platform that helped students apply for college financial aid. JPMorgan bought the startup in 2021 for $175 million. The deal turned sour after the bank said Frank had vastly overstated its user base. Frank claimed to have more than 4 million customers. The real number was fewer than 300,000, according to JPMorgan.
A jury convicted Javice last year on charges including bank fraud and wire fraud. She is appealing the verdict.
The pardon request lands as the White House considers a batch of roughly 250 clemency actions tied to the nation's 250th birthday, the Journal has reported. A spokesman for Javice declined to comment to CNBC. JPMorgan did not respond to a request for comment.
