<p>Charlie Javice, the convicted Frank founder, is reportedly seeking a presidential pardon, with her camp quietly courting people close to the Trump administration, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/charlie-javice-has-been-seeking-a-pardon-from-trump-after-defrauding-jpmorgan-0b4e61db">according to the WSJ</a>. So far, her name hasn&#8217;t turned up on a formal clemency request list at the Justice Department, it adds.</p>
<p>That list is growing fast. As the administration reportedly weighs handing out roughly 250 pardons this summer to mark America&#8217;s 250th birthday, a wave of clemency requests is pouring in from white-collar defendants — <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/technology/sam-bankman-fried-pardon-trump.html">including Sam Bankman-Fried</a>.</p>
<p>JPMorgan can&#8217;t be pleased by any of this. Last September, Javice was found guilty of fabricating millions of customer accounts to inflate her startup&#8217;s value before selling it to the bank for $175 million. She&#8217;s now serving more than seven years and is appealing, arguing the case against her was unfair.</p>
<p>The bank may have extra cause for concern given its relationship with President Trump. In early 2021, it closed accounts tied to Trump and his businesses shortly after the January 6 Capitol riot, a move that Trump has since called political &#8220;debanking,&#8221; suing JPMorgan and CEO Jamie Dimon for <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.npr.org/2026/01/22/nx-s1-5685151/trump-jpmorgan-chase-jamie-dimon-debanking">$5 billion</a>. (JPMorgan denies any political motive.)</p>
<p>Javice has powerful friends, too, including Apollo&#8217;s Marc Rowan, an early Frank investor who testified on her behalf at trial. Rowan has donated to Trump&#8217;s campaigns and, since his reelection, has given millions more to Republican congressional groups.</p>
