After senior JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini categorically denied sexual harassment and abuse allegations made by a former employee, several bettors flocked to Polymarket to bet on whether the accuser would face a countersuit. While multiple media outlets have identified the plaintiffs, we have chosen not to do so.
What does the JPMorgan Chase sexual harassment lawsuit say?
The blockbuster lawsuit accuses a senior JPMorgan Chase executive named Hajdini of sexual harassment and abuse. The complaint, originally filed in New York on April 27, accuses the executive director of coercive sexual conduct, drug use, intimidation and retaliation against a former male employee identified only as “John Doe.” The allegations were first reported by tabloids such as the Daily Mail and later by the New York Post.
However, a court representative told PEOPLE that the document has been “returned for correction” and is no longer available for public inspection. No further explanation was provided.
Lorna Hajdini strongly denies the claims
In a statement shared by lawyers representing Hajdini, JPMorgan executives strongly denied all allegations related to the case.
“She categorically denies these allegations.”
Her lawyer added: “She never engaged in any inappropriate behavior with this individual and never even visited the location where the sexual assault allegedly occurred.”
The charges allege the incidents began in 2024 and include allegations of forced sexual contact, harassment, threats and abuse. The anonymous plaintiff also accused JPMorgan of retaliation and failing to properly investigate the matter.
JPMorgan Chase said an internal investigation “found no basis for this.” The company separately said it conducted an internal review after the allegations surfaced and found no evidence to support the claims.
“After our investigation, we determined that these allegations had no merit. While many employees cooperated with the investigation, the complainant declined to participate and provided core facts to support his allegations,” a company spokesperson said.
combined market odds
Polymarket posted on Sunday that at the time of writing, around 89% of punters believed the alleged plaintiffs would face counter-suits.
However, it is important to note that Polymarket reflects betting market sentiment and speculation rather than verified legal analysis or confirmed reporting. Odds on the platform may change rapidly based on public reaction, social media activity and trader behavior and should not be considered concrete evidence for future legal action.
The counterclaim has not been confirmed.
