Charlie Javice must wear an ankle monitor despite her budding Pilates career, judge rules

Charlie Javice faces up to 30 years for tricking JPMorgan into buying her fintech startup for $175M. After Friday's verdict, her lawyers argued wearing an ankle monitor would ruin her Pilates career.

Convicted JPMorgan fraudster Charlie Javice will have a tougher time teaching Pilates, at least for now.

Wearing the bulky device once again — as she had for several weeks before a November decision granting its removal — would be a severe impediment to her career as a Pilates instructor, Sullivan said.

"To have your legs in the air and the monitor going up and down on your leg — it is a significant encumbrance," Sullivan told the judge. The lawyer held both arms aloft and waved them back and forth to demonstrate as he stood at a podium.

While wearing an ankle bracelet previously, she was only able to teach lessons briefly, and for family and friends, Sullivan said.

Her classes require "demanding physical movement and full flexibility and range of motion, specifically around her feet and ankles," her lawyers argued in court filings earlier Tuesday.

"Ms. Javice's services are sought after because her instruction is particularly challenging and dynamic," the filing said.

US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled Tuesday that Charlie Javice must wear a GPS ankle monitor in the weeks prior to her August sentencing, at which she faces a possible maximum of 30 years in prison.

A jury found on Friday that Javice used fake data to trick JPMorgan, the country's largest bank, into believing her website had gathered the names and other personal data of more than 4 million students. The bank had hoped to market checking accounts and credit cards to these students, but later found that Javice had data for fewer than 300,000 of them.

JP Morgan is not exactly a paragon of virtue and integrity, just sayin’.

An ace bandage or some surgical tape will fix that in a jiffy.
I recommend the 6" x 5 yds, gives her plenty of wrap
not enough, comes in 10 yds as well.

OK, no ankle monitor. Bail is here by revoked and the convict can stay in the county jail until her August sentencing hearing. Bang!

And why does it take at least four months to decide on the sentence?

Amazing.

I assume they dropped the “My First Crack Pipe” set. Too many government limitations on lighting the flame. Toy flame looked fake to kids.

Scammed JP Morgan and Chase??!! Normally the sophisticated investor defense arises. They are supposed to have both the capability to do the due diligence to validate the data, and the financial controls in place so that they don't get taken in paying out millions on a valueless misrepresentation.

So, yeah she is a crook, but sounds like two of our leading financial institutions are dupes.

Swap it out for an exploding neck collar. It’s all good now.

Yeah, there’s a couple simple and obvious ideas to reduce the “encumbrance.” What a maroon.
