Meme nightmare
JPMorgan banker hits back at accuser who ‘ruined her reputation and destroyed her life’.
Good Morning.
About three weeks ago, Chirayu Rana sued JPMorgan and his former leveraged finance superior Lorna Hajdini with a complaint so graphic it became the talk of Wall Street.
Now Hajdini has filed a defamation counterclaim calling the allegations “entirely false, malicious, and fabricated” and accusing Rana of concocting them for personal enrichment.
She says the claims have “ruined her reputation and destroyed her life,” with her family subjected to “countless jokes, memes, and AI-generated images and videos of a persistently vile (and) degrading,” nature, in what she describes as “a daily, living nightmare.”
JPMorgan investigated the claims and found them not credible.

Shares in Westpac fell on Wednesday as Morgan Stanley warned that operating conditions for Australia’s big four banks were changing at the fastest rate in 25 years, outside of Covid-19, with RBA rate hikes, proposed changes to property-related tax concessions and the global energy shock creating what the investment bank described as a “far more uncertain outlook” for the sector.
