Charlie Javice says she can't fly, requests 2nd delay in JPMorgan Chase fraud sentencing

""I am unable to grant this request, unless I am presented with evidence that travel is likely to be injurious to Defendant's health," US District Court Alvin K. Hellerstein wrote. "I have reserved all day, September 29, 2025, for sentencing," wrote Hellerstein, who presided over Javice's trial and her March conviction for tricking JPMorgan, the largest US bank, into paying $175 million for Frank, her student financial aid website. A delay will interfere with other cases, the judge wrote."

"The delay request is not sitting well with federal prosecutors and Javice's Manhattan judge. On Monday, they joined in demanding details and supporting evidence. Prosecutors wondered in a letter to the judge if she can travel by train or car. And the judge himself asked why, exactly, can't she fly, denying the delay, at least for now."

"It's the second sentencing delay requested by Javice, 33, who lives in the Miami area. Javice was originally due to be sentenced in late August. That date was pushed to September 29 after Javice asked for another month to prepare her sentencing submissions and deal with a private matter, the description of which was redacted from public filings. Federal prosecutors did not oppose that first delay - but they are opposing this one."

Charlie Javice, convicted in March of defrauding JPMorgan Chase of $175 million by selling her Frank student financial aid website, requested a second delay of her September 29, 2025 sentencing, saying she cannot fly from her Miami-area home to Manhattan. Federal prosecutors and the presiding judge demanded details and supporting evidence for the claimed inability to travel, asking whether she could travel by train or car and seeking the specific condition preventing air travel. The judge declined to grant the delay without evidence that travel would be injurious to Javice's health and noted a delay would disrupt other cases. Prosecutors opposed the new delay after not objecting to an earlier postponement.
