flag JPMorgan disputes $74M in legal fees from defrauded startup founder Charlie Javice’s defense, citing excessive and lavish charges.

flag JPMorgan Chase is challenging $74 million in legal fees from Charlie Javice’s fraud defense, including $5 million for attendance on non-court days and expenses like a $900 restaurant meal and a children’s toy. flag The bank disputes $10.2 million in charges, citing excessive billing, lavish expenses, and up to 29 attorneys present daily during the six-week trial despite only four speaking roles. flag Javice, convicted in 2025 of defrauding JPMorgan in a $175 million deal involving her startup Frank, was sentenced to seven years and ordered to repay fees through 10% of her income over 20 years—making full recovery unlikely. flag The dispute stems from a 2023 court order requiring JPMorgan to cover defense costs under the acquisition agreement.
