Lorna Hajdini case takes new twist as counter-suit filed after JPMorgan Chase's 1mn settlement offer to ex-banker
JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini has filed a defamation lawsuit against a former banker who allegedly fabricated claims of sexual misconduct, following the bank's failed $1 million settlement offer.Summary
JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini has initiated a defamation lawsuit against a former banker, alleging that he fabricated accusations of sexual misconduct and used a fake death in the family to secure time off. The lawsuit claims the ex-banker orchestrated a campaign to harm her career and reputation. JPMorgan Chase had offered the ex-banker $1 million to withdraw his claims, but he declined and subsequently made the allegations public. The bank stated that an investigation found no evidence to support the claims. The ex-banker's attorney argues that the settlement offer suggests the bank did not believe the allegations were fabricated. The case has taken a new turn with the ex-banker's attorney presenting a statement from a family acquaintance who allegedly observed Hajdini's intoxicated conduct in a New York City apartment.
