In 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Mattes with defrauding investors. Mattes agreed to settle the charges for north of $17 million. According to the SEC complaint, Mattes grossly overstated Jumio revenue in 2013 and 2014 and then sold his personal shares to investors for $14 million, hiding these sales from the board. In 2015, the company corrected its financial results and filed for bankruptcy in 2016. [7]
