Javice founded a startup called Frank that JPMorgan acquired in 2021 for $175 million.

Last year, she was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for defrauding the bank by overstating the number of customers Frank had. She is appealing the verdict.

Frank, which helped users apply for college financial aid, said it had more than 4 million customers, but it actually had fewer than 300,000, according to JPMorgan.
