Throughout the Voir Dire Direction, Javice – who wears a blouse and pencil – smile in the direction of jury and record repeated notes. She looked elegant and spoke with lawyers on each side, playing her hair while talking.
The opening arguments began after lunch.
JPMorgan Chase won Frank in 2021 for $ 175 million, Preserving Javice and Amar as the first and second in driving and giving them profitable compensation packages.
Despite the allegations of former executives that Frank had more than 4 million users, the federal government said that Javis was “falsely” and greatly exaggerating the number of customers of its company “to attract Jpmorgan Chase in the acquisition.
“They had nothing close to it,” said American lawyer Rashmi Bahskran on Thursday. “Through these lies, the defendants have become millions.”
Bhaskran said the duo “is made of fake data” to support the user base and then try to cover up it.
The defendants’ lawyers, who were accused separately, drew a different picture.
Jose Bayes, one of the Javis lawyers, said that JPMorgan did not do enough care before he purchased Frank, describing it as a “commercial deal that made a mistake.”
He described Javis as “an incredible young woman”, who was 28 years old, was smart enough to secure an individual meeting with Damon, CEO of JPMorgan.
Paes added that the acquisition was more about getting Javis by herself more than 4 million Frank users.
“They have seen something in Charlie, the young CEO, breaking the glass ceiling,” said Bayz. “This is what Jpmorgan negotiated, and this is what they got.”
Meanwhile, Ammar’s lawyer, Jonathan Kojan, referred to his client as an “innocent man” who was dragged into the problems of his boss after the prosecution “gathered them”.
Ammar, who was through a lot of procedures, nodded with his head skillfully while Kogan reminded the jury that he was innocent until he was proven guilty.
“Sometimes, our government is mistaken,” said Kojan. “Sometimes, prosecutors can be enthusiastic. Sometimes, innocent people are clouded.”
A JPMorgan spokesman immediately did not respond to a request for comment.
