Frank founder Charlie Javice, who was found guilty of defrauding JPMorgan, has been ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor while she awaits sentencing—despite her new Pilates career. https://t.co/9T55pT6l4v
The judge found her argument a stretch, it seems. An ankle monitor “is a restriction on her ability to do the advanced Pilates that she teaches,” Hellerstein said. But “there is a risk of flight.” https://t.co/kHrv1TBOPa via @WSJ
Charlie Javice, a 32-year-old startup founder, has been ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor after being convicted of defrauding JPMorgan Chase. The court found that she posed a flight risk following her conviction for selling her company to the bank for $175 million. Despite her arguments against the imposition of the monitor, citing its impact on her ability to work as a fitness instructor, the judge ruled in favor of the monitoring due to the perceived risk of flight. Javice's argument was deemed insufficient by Judge Hellerstein, who acknowledged the restrictions the monitor would impose on her Pilates career but emphasized the necessity of the measure. Javice is currently awaiting sentencing.
