I'll quote another comment: > Javice interfered in due diligence in a very sophisticated way. JPMC tried to verify user data but Javice claimed they couldn't provide user personal information "due to privacy concerns". In the end Javice was able to convince due diligence team by engaging in multiple layers of fraud. Sure due diligence team could've done a better job, but Javice was a sophisticated adversary. It's not like due diligence team didn't have any concerns. But they wanted to balance their concerns against possibility of passing a good deal due to formality.
