A former JPMorgan employee has filed a sensational lawsuit against executive director Lorna Hajdini, alleging sexual harassment. The lawsuit, filed under the pseudonym John Doe by Chirayu Rana, claims Hajdini drugged him and coerced him into sexual encounters. However, as of midday Tuesday, JPMorgan conducted an internal investigation and found no evidence to support these allegations.
Hajdini categorically denies the allegations. She has worked at JPMorgan for 15 years and currently earns an estimated annual compensation of $200,000. The bank’s spokesperson stated, “Following an investigation, we don’t believe there’s any merit to these claims.” The investigation revealed that Rana and Hajdini were colleagues on the same team but reported to different managers.
Rana attempted to negotiate a multi-million dollar settlement to leave JPMorgan before filing the lawsuit. This raises questions about his motivations. Observers note that Rana’s actions have tarnished Hajdini’s reputation with what they describe as a complete fabrication.
The lawsuit has since been retracted for corrections; however, it still names JPMorgan Chase as a defendant, accusing the bank of retaliation. No trial date has been set yet for this case. Uncertainty looms over the exact details of the allegations and the motivations behind them.
Amid this controversy, Hajdini’s LinkedIn account was deleted. Rana is now a principal at investment firm Bregal Sagemount. He filed his internal complaint in 2025, claiming that the alleged coercion began in 2024.
