Resumen

Charlie Javice, fundadora de la startup de ayuda financiera Frank, recibió una condena de 85 meses de prisión por defraudar a JPMorgan Chase al inflar la base de usuarios de su empresa durante su adquisición por 175 millones de dólares.

Charlie Javice, fundadora de la startup de ayuda financiera Frank, fue sentenciada el lunes a 85 meses de prisión por defraudar a JPMorgan Chase al inflar significativamente la base de usuarios de su empresa durante su adquisición por 175 millones de dólares.

Javice, de 33 años, fue condenada en marzo por conspiración, fraude electrónico, fraude bancario y fraude de valores. Los fiscales demostraron que ella afirmó falsamente que Frank tenía más de 4 millones de usuarios, mientras que el número real era inferior a 300,000. Para respaldar estas tergiversaciones, Javice contrató a un científico de datos para crear datos sintéticos.

Dirigiéndose al tribunal antes de la sentencia, Javice expresó remordimiento, afirmando que estaba "atormentada porque mi fracaso ha transformado algo significativo en algo infame."

El juez Alvin K. Hellerstein criticó a JPMorgan por una diligencia debida insuficiente, pero enfatizó que la sentencia se centró en la conducta de Javice.

Además de la pena de prisión, se ordenó a Javice pagar más de 309 millones de dólares en restitución y decomiso.

El caso de Javice ha sido comparado con otros ejecutivos tecnológicos enfrentando acusaciones de fraude, incluida Elizabeth Holmes de Theranos.
