On Wednesday, one of the jury told a closing argument for a criminal trial.
American lawyer Nicholas Chatciolo urged the jury of the Federal Court in Manhattan to condemn Charlie Gavis and another previous executive director in her company, who was working under the name Frank, from conspiracy and fraud.
Defense lawyer Jose Bays urged to acquit his 32 -year -old agent, describing the evidence “incredibly defective.” He urged the jury to “look at the evidence, the absence of evidence and conflict of evidence” to acquit Javis.
While he was talking, Javis smiled at times and turned her chair to confront the jury.
Prosecutors said that Miami Beach and Florida, the resident who appeared in the “30 Under 30” Forbes 2019 list, would have received $ 45 million of fraud.
The defense offer came after Chatciolo was martyred emails, text messages and phone calls to persuade jury that Gavis has repeatedly lied to JPMorgan in the summer of 2021 to secure a purchase that would earn millions of dollars.
Javice, which was once founded, seemed to be a pioneer among companies that meet the needs of college age students, who encourage banks to open examination accounts or credit cards in the hope that they would become lifelong customers.
Frank was created, established in 2017 as TAPD Inc. , To simplify the filling of free demand for federal students, a federal government model that students use to apply for financial assistance to the college or the graduate school.
Gavis, who was arrested in April 2023, is free of bail, sought to sell the company in 2021, when it had about 400,000 customers, claiming that it had more than 4.25 million customers.
The Public Prosecutor said that when Jpmorgan Chase sought to check the customer list, Javice first approached the head of the engineering of its company, and asked me whether he could produce “artificial data” to show that the company has more than 4 million customers.
But the employee refused, saying that he would “do anything illegal,” said Chetuchiolo.
“They will call him a liar,” he predicted the defense's description of his testimony. “Because if you believe him, the defendants are guilty.”
Prosecutors said that Javis eventually rented an external data world for $ 105,000 to create an artificial data group showing more than 4.2 million students.
Javis did not witness during the trial for five weeks. The jury was expected to start deliberations on Thursday.
