Judge orders JPMorgan to keep paying Charlie Javice’s $74M legal bills — including $530 in gummy bears
NY Post ^ | December 23, 2025 | Ariel Zilber

A Delaware judge on Monday rejected JPMorgan’s request to halt ongoing payments tied to Charlie Javice’s legal defense, ordering the bank to continue complying with an existing fee-advancement order while its appeal proceeds.

Javice and her lawyers spent $530 on gummy bears, more than $3,000 on first-class airline tickets, a $581 dinner that included a $161 seafood tower and $25,800 on hotel upgrades — then billed the costs as part of the staggering legal tab she wants JPMorgan Chase to pay, the bank alleged in court filings.

According to the filings, the expenses included a $284 car ride covering just half a mile. Lawyers also billed “copious amounts of alcohol,” including cocktails and wine, as well as personal care items such as cellulite butter.

Charlie Javice, sentenced to prison for defrauding JPMorgan out of $175 million, is now fighting to force the bank to cover $74 million in legal bills that included gummy bears, first-class flights and luxury hotel upgrades.

The bank also flagged expenses incurred by attorneys themselves. In one instance, a law firm partner expensed a hotel stay in New York City to JPMorgan despite listing New York as his home office.

...

In November 2024, a Quinn Emanuel attorney based in Miami billed a two-day stay at a Florida hotel located roughly 20 minutes from her own office. Defense attorney José Baez sought reimbursement for a $13.57 Spotify charge and a $75 suitcase purchased at City Souvenirs USA.

In short, it is what JP Morgan agreed to do as part of its obligations in order to acquire another company. They didn’t foresee what that might mean beyond the standard legal expenses.

Makes you wonder if the judge is getting a cut.

Seems bizarre.

Thank you for the info. It is a contractual matter.

The contract had no exemptions? A blank check?

I don’t know. I can only surmise, based on the judge’s ruling that JP Morgan didn’t do its diligence in considering what agreeing to the contract might mean.

Reminds me of “Terms of Service” and “Conditions”.

In short, many of them essentially say: we get everything, you get nothing, we promise nothing, and you cannot sue us.

I refuse many of them. Most people do not even read them.

Reminds me of the end scene in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

She is, but is hitting below par on spending some of that $74 million on improved presentability.

Remember that the stockholders are the ones that end up paying. When the gov fined the big banks for money laundering drug cartel money, they fined the bank (stockholders) instead of the bank managers and employees (and also didn’t seize the cartels funds).

It’s her legal defense against charge in defrauding JPM. She ran up huge bills that JPM is supposed to pay.

If you are interested in her, she may still have some of her ill gotten gains. Maybe they will let her have conjugal visits.
