The rule is among the last to be adopted under the landmark Dodd Frank Wall Street reform legislation of 2010, according to SEC officials. An earlier version of the conflicts rule first proposed in 2011 was never finalized. SEC officials say it would provide exceptions for legitimate activities, such as hedging to mitigate risk, market-making and meeting liquidity commitments. Better Markets, an advocacy organization that promotes more strict financial sector regulation, welcomed Wednesday's rule proposal but vowed to study it. Without citing prominent recent examples of such conflicts of interest in the asset-backed securities market, SEC officials said the conflicts rule was needed to remove the opportunity and incentive for such conduct.
An earlier version of the conflicts rule first proposed in 2011 was never finalized. When made effective with an SEC rule, the section would prohibit traders from betting against asset-backed securities they sold to investors. According to SEC officials, the rule would ban such actions for up to a year following sale of the securities. According to SEC officials, traders who disclosed bets contrary to clients' investments would still run foul of the rule.

Her financial aid startup, Frank, was featured in the New York Times, CNBC and Wall Street Journal. After leaving the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton business school, Javice traded on her reputation, bolstered by glowing profiles, as a successful entrepreneur. In a 2018 interview with Insider, Javice claimed Frank secured an average of $28,000 for its users, and was helping students get "thousands off their tuition." "Charlie's first company fizzled after 18 months, so after losing all her investors' money, she convinced every one of them to fund her next company, Frank." At Frank, Javice admitted she sometimes painted a more positive picture of the company's health than was supported by the facts.

JP Morgan Chase has accused the student loan platform Frank and its founder Charlie Javice of inventing millions of fake customers to juice its value. In 2020, the Federal Trade Commission warned Frank that it "may be unlawfully misleading consumers" about student COVID relief. The company promised students help accessing the grant money, but all Frank was doing was generating a form letter students could send to university administrators. "We are concerned that Frank is creating false hope and confusion for students while contributing to unnecessary extra work for financial aid administrators," the representatives wrote. The advance wouldn't need to be paid back until "your aid comes in," the company wrote on its website.

Companies JPMorgan Chase & Co FollowJan 12 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) on Thursday shut down the website of Frank, a college financial planning platform it acquired in 2021, after suing the startup's founder Charlie Javice and Chief Growth Officer Olivier Amar for creating nearly 4 million fake customer accounts. The largest U.S. bank by assets had paid $175 million for Frank in a bid to deepen its ties with students. The bank said it was led to believe more than 4.25 million students had created accounts on Frank. However, when JPMorgan sent marketing test emails to a list of Frank's customers that the company had provided, only 28% of them were delivered, the bank alleged. JPMorgan said it generally sees a delivery rate of 99% with similar campaigns.
Visitors to Frank's website could get the mistaken impression that the company was affiliated with the federal government, the Department of Education said in 2017. The Department argued that Frank's website was "likely to confuse consumers." The Department stated in a cease and desist letter that Frank could be misleading applicants looking for the government's official FAFSA website. On social media and elsewhere, Frank sometimes referred to the form as "Frank's FAFSA," according to the settlement. In numerous media interviews, including with Insider, Javice has cast herself as a mold-breaking entrepreneur.
JPMorgan Chase on Thursday shut down the website for a college financial aid platform it bought for $175 million after alleging that the company's founder created nearly 4 million fake customer accounts. JPMorgan touted the deal as giving it the "fastest-growing college financial planning platform" used by more than five million students at 6,000 institutions. Specifically, after being pressed for confirmation of Frank's customer base during the due diligence process, Javice used a data scientist to invent millions of fake accounts, according to JPMorgan. "Javice represented in documents placed in the acquisition data room, in pitch materials, and through verbal presentations [that] more than 4.25 million students had created Frank accounts." Instead of gaining a business with 4.25 million students, JPMorgan had one with "fewer than 300,000 customers," JPMorgan said in the suit.
JPMorgan alleged that college financial-planning website Frank lied about its growth and users. JPMorgan's suit accused Frank's founder Charlie Javice and its former chief growth officer Olivier Amar of being in on a scheme to juice its user numbers. The pair used that list to make the inflated user numbers seem credible. The bank claimed that the startup provided the false user numbers while it was conducting due diligence when looking into acquiring the company. As of Thursday morning, JPMorgan had closed down Frank's website, a representative for the bank confirmed to Insider.

Royal Bank of Scotland signs are seen at a branch of the bank, in London, Britain December 1, 2017. RBS agreed to settle Justice Department and FHFA investigations over its sales of residential mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the financial crisis. The SEC did not pursue its own action against RBS in this instance. The petition Hong filed on Monday asks the Supreme Court to consider what constitutes an "action" within the SEC's whistleblower incentive program. "The better a whistleblower's information, the larger the sanctions, the larger the whistleblower award, and the greater the self-interested motivation for the SEC to take enforcement actions that it has conveniently placed outside of Dodd-Frank's reach," it added.
