Startup CEO Charlie Javice is reportedly angling for a Trump pardon

初创公司首席执行官 Charlie Javice 据悉正寻求特朗普的特赦

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. So far, her name hasn’t turned up on a formal clemency request list at the Justice Department, it adds. 据《华尔街日报》报道，已定罪的 Frank 创始人 Charlie Javice 据悉正在寻求总统特赦，其团队正私下接触与特朗普政府关系密切的人士。报道补充称，到目前为止，她的名字尚未出现在司法部的正式特赦请求名单上。

That list is growing fast. As the administration reportedly weighs handing out roughly 250 pardons this summer to mark America’s 250th birthday, a wave of clemency requests is pouring in from white-collar defendants — including Sam Bankman-Fried. 这份名单正在迅速增长。据报道，为了纪念美国建国 250 周年，政府正考虑在今年夏天发放约 250 项特赦，这引发了白领犯罪被告（包括 Sam Bankman-Fried）提交特赦请求的浪潮。

JPMorgan can’t be pleased by any of this. Last September, Javice was found guilty of fabricating millions of customer accounts to inflate her startup’s value before selling it to the bank for $175 million. She’s now serving more than seven years and is appealing, arguing the case against her was unfair. 摩根大通对此显然不会感到高兴。去年 9 月，Javice 因伪造数百万个客户账户以虚增初创公司价值，并将其以 1.75 亿美元的价格出售给该银行而被判有罪。她目前正在服刑七年多，并已提出上诉，辩称针对她的案件审理不公。

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 “debanking,” suing JPMorgan and CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion. (JPMorgan denies any political motive.) 考虑到摩根大通与特朗普总统的关系，该银行可能有额外的担忧。2021 年初，在 1 月 6 日国会山骚乱发生后不久，摩根大通关闭了与特朗普及其企业相关的账户。特朗普随后将此举称为政治性的“去银行化”（debanking），并起诉摩根大通及其首席执行官杰米·戴蒙（Jamie Dimon），索赔 50 亿美元。（摩根大通否认存在任何政治动机。）

Javice has powerful friends, too, including Apollo’s Marc Rowan, an early Frank investor who testified on her behalf at trial. Rowan has donated to Trump’s campaigns and, since his reelection, has given millions more to Republican congressional groups. Javice 也有强大的盟友，包括阿波罗全球管理公司（Apollo）的 Marc Rowan。Rowan 是 Frank 的早期投资者，曾在审判中为她作证。Rowan 曾向特朗普的竞选活动捐款，并在特朗普连任后，又向共和党国会团体捐赠了数百万美元。
