Overview
- Settlement talks earlier this year included a $1 million offer from JPMorgan, which sources say the accuser sought to raise to about $11.75 million before negotiations collapsed.
- Rana’s complaint, which returned to the Manhattan court docket on Monday, adds two anonymous affidavits describing a naked threesome invite and a remark that sounded like “I own you, Brownie,” plus a filing citing a PTSD diagnosis and a request for anonymity.
- JPMorgan and executive Lorna Hajdini categorically deny the claims, saying an internal review of emails, devices and records found no evidence and that the complainant declined to participate in the probe.
- Reporting says the Manhattan district attorney’s office opened a criminal inquiry last year and then closed it for lack of evidence, with a referral to victim-support mental health services instead of charges.
- Media outlets have also surfaced items that raise credibility questions about the accuser, including an online legal-advice post with similar claims and an allegation he misled the bank about his father’s death, while the dispute proceeds in civil court.
