The trial of Charlie Javice, accused of defrauding JPMorgan Chase in the sale of her startup Frank, showcases significant blunders from both parties. Testimony revealed that a former engineer refused to fabricate user data at Javice's request prior to the $175 million acquisition, indicating potential deception. Javice’s legal team argued JPMorgan failed to adequately verify Frank's customer claims. A note from JPMorgan’s deal lead suggested a casual approach to analysis, which was defended as a joke in court. The trial has become a cautionary tale of hubris and oversight in high-stakes deals.
