JPMorgan lawsuit retracted: Claims against Hajdini fabricated.
Audacy • • business
Key Points:
- A civil complaint was filed on April 28 in New York County Supreme Court under the pseudonym “John Doe,” naming 37-year-old JPMorgan executive director Hajdini and the bank, alleging workplace intimidation and retaliation starting in spring 2024.
- The plaintiff, later identified as Chirayu Rana, a former JPMorgan leveraged finance team member, filed an internal harassment complaint in May 2025 seeking a multimillion-dollar severance, which was rejected; he now works at investment firm Bregal Sagemount.
- JPMorgan conducted an internal investigation involving emails, phone records, and employee interviews, finding no evidence to support the allegations, while Rana refused to participate or provide key facts.
- Hajdini denied all allegations through her attorneys, stating she never engaged in inappropriate conduct or visited the alleged locations, and the original court filing was withdrawn for corrections after details went viral.
- No criminal charges have been filed, underscoring how quickly unproven civil claims can spread online before facts are fully established.
