What is her pedigree? It says she has known an early investor VP partner since 19 — yet she took out student loans herself so wasn’t from a wealthy family? ht

Oh she grew up in Westchester and her brother also went to UPenn. “ When Charlie Javice, 19, and her brother Elie, 18, were growing up in the tony community of Westchester in upstate New York, their parents urged them to volunteer their time to help the town’s less fortunate. Throughout their adolescence, they returned to the local soup kitchen, and each year, they saw the same faces. That was their first lesson in the problem of poverty. “Obviously, there was a broken system if the same people kept coming back,” said Charlie. She and her brother are now a sophomore and freshman, respectively, at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where they’re tackling poverty from a different direction. They’ve assembled a student-run microfinance platform called PoverUP that aims to break the cycle of poverty through capital, research and education, and social engagement.” https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/print-edition/2011/12/30/charlie-and-elie-javice.html https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/print-edition/2011/...

  so how exactly did her selling her fraud company to JP Morgan help the "poor"? I swear these upper middle class liberal kids use the disadvantaged as an accessory to get ahead. SBF with his effective altruism.

    uhhh, wtf is this characterization that she was "liberal" or "upper middle class". She is an upperclass corporatist who grew up in one of the wealthiest towns in America, went to a center-right business college, was based out of Miami and trying to exploit public services (FAFSA student aid) for private corporate gain.

  These folks were building up the right resumes for Ivy league admissions. Next time, you hear about "local soup kitchen", "helping build schools/hospitals in Tanzania", "some exotic sports". You can see the signals that an average tech worker (not $500K FAANG types) can't buy for their kids.

Perhaps more importantly, she managed to find a college professor willing to create the fake accounts, after a data scientist (who I imagine is junior in stature and public reputation) refused to do so.
