When JP Morgan bought Frank in 2021, the bank believes the launch has 4 million customers. The bank found that the actual number of customers was only 300,000 when later sent test marketing emails to alleged candid users and approximately 70% of these messages bounced back.

Javice has supposedly hired a Professor of Mathematics to create fake customers’ customerswhich she presented to JP Morgan when the bank was considering buying her company.

Defense attorneys claim that the claim is the result of the buyer’s remorse due to a change in the government in the way financial assistance forms are completed. Javis pleaded guilty and did not take the position during the process.
