A 28 year old paid $18,000 to fake 4 MILLION customers and sold the lie to JPMorgan for $175 MILLION.
> Charlie Javice founded Frank in 2017, a platform that helped college students apply for financial aid.
> By 2019 she was on Forbes 30 Under 30 and being courted by major banks.
> In 2021 JPMorgan offered to acquire Frank for $175 MILLION but wanted proof Frank actually had 4 million customers before signing.
> Javice pushed back, citing privacy concerns over student data.
> Then she paid a data science professor $18,000 to generate a synthetic list of 4.25 MILLION fake student names. Complete with fake emails. Fake birthdates. Fake income levels.
> JPMorgan signed the cheque.
> Javice was made a managing director at the bank, overseeing student products at Chase. She personally walked away with millions in stock and bonuses.
> Months later JPMorgan tried to send marketing emails to Frank's 4 MILLION customers.
> More than 70% bounced.
> Frank actually had fewer than 300,000 real users.
> An engineering director testified that the week before the deal closed, Javice asked him to help fabricate the customer numbers. He refused.
> She told him "We don't want to end up in orange jumpsuits."
> She was convicted on all four counts of fraud and conspiracy in March 2025.
> Sentenced to 85 months in federal prison in September 2025.
> Ordered to repay $287 MILLION. More than the original deal was worth.
> JPMorgan was forced to pay her $115 MILLION legal bill because the acquisition contract required it.
> Jamie Dimon called the whole thing "a huge mistake."
> The judge told the bank they had "a lot to blame themselves" for not checking before signing.
JPMorgan paid $175 MILLION for a company. Then $115 MILLION more for the lawyers. Then $287 MILLION in restitution. The fraud cost more than the company.

I have been briefed on an incident that occurred at Grand Central Station this morning. Reports indicate a man slashed three people on the platform with a machete. Officers shot the man when he did not drop the machete. He has since been pronounced dead.
I’m grateful to the NYPD for their quick response and for preventing additional violence. The three victims were taken to the hospital and are thankfully in stable condition. The NYPD is conducting an internal investigation and will release body-worn camera footage, as it does in all incidents involving the discharge of an officer's firearm.

@pmarca @stratechery @benthompson One day or the other there will be mythos equivalent. It will either be brought in by China or by some other country. It is not if but when

“This raises an obvious question: how much of Anthropic’s reluctance to make Mythos widely available is due to security concerns, as opposed to the more prosaic reality that Anthropic simply doesn’t have enough compute?” @stratechery @benthompson

@pmarca @stratechery @benthompson Sure they do. Simply charge more - maybe a lot more. Like 20x Opus 4.6. Let supply/demand + the market work it out.

@rezoundous Sounds like it's so useful and central to your workflow that it's worth more than $20/mo to you 🤔
