As the administration reportedly weighs handing out roughly 250 pardons this summer to mark America&rsquo;s 250th birthday, a wave of clemency requests is pouring in from white-collar defendants &mdash; including Sam Bankman-Fried.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JPMorgan can&rsquo;t be pleased by any of this. Last September, Javice was found guilty of fabricating millions of customer accounts to inflate her startup&rsquo;s value before selling it to the bank for $175 million.

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 &ldquo;debanking,&rdquo; suing JPMorgan and CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion. (JPMorgan denies any political motive.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Javice has powerful friends, too, including Apollo&rsquo;s Marc Rowan, an early Frank investor who testified on her behalf at trial. Rowan has donated to Trump&rsquo;s campaigns and, since his reelection, has given millions more to Republican congressional groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Startup CEO Charlie Javice is reportedly angling for a Trump pardon<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie Javice, the convicted Frank founder, is reportedly seeking a presidential pardon, with her camp quietly courting people close to the Trump administration, according to the WSJ.
