Charlie Javice, the founder of Frank, a student-aid start-up, has significantly bolstered her legal defense team ahead of her federal trial. Javice is accused of defrauding JP Morgan of $175 million during the acquisition of her fintech company, Frank. Renowned Florida-based lawyer Jose Baez and Harvard Law Professor Ronald Sullivan have been appointed as lead counsel for her defense.
The appointment of Baez, who entered his motion to appear in the Manhattan federal case last Friday, is viewed as a key strategic move. Javice is also seeking to adjourn her impending trial as part of the defense team’s initial efforts. For more detailed information on this case, refer to the original report here.
