Gabriel on X - "Turns out the story of the year was just...made up. and it gets worse.
- John Doe is Chirayu Rana, 35, now a principal at Bregal Sagemount. he left JPMorgan and went straight to private equity.
- The whole "threaten his bonus" premise collapsed. Hajdini reported to a completely different managing director than Rana. she had no say over his compensation.
- JPMorgan pulled phone records, reviewed emails, interviewed the full team. found nothing. Rana even refused to participate in his own investigation.
- A colleague described Rana as "socially awkward" but someone who "met the requirements" to stay at the bank.
- Before any lawsuit, he tried to negotiate a payout in the "millions" to leave the bank quietly. they didn't bite.
- He filed court filing, then his lawyers retracted it for "corrections" and deleted it. But the Daily Mail already ran the whole thing and the rest twitter did its thing.
so he tried to get paid, didn't, then filed a now-retracted complaint against someone who couldn't touch his bonus. wild. feel terrible for her and her family."
Exclusive | Chirayu Rana — former JPMorgan banker at center of ‘completely fabricated’ ‘sex slave’ allegations against Lorna Hajdini — left new job 3 weeks ago - "Wall Street financier Chirayu Rana, the anonymous “John Doe” who filed a sensational — and fiercely disputed — sexual harassment lawsuit against a JPMorgan Chase executive has left investment firm Bregal Sagemount... he accused Lorna Hajdini, 37, of drugging him and keeping him as a “sex slave.” The Post exclusively unmasked Rana on Thursday evening, with allies of high-flying leveraged finance expert Hajdini branding his claims “a complete fabrication.”... The explosive court document, originally filed Monday in New York state court and then retracted for “corrections,” alleged Hajdini drugged Rana with Rohypnol and Viagra, threatened his bonus to extort sex, and stalked his Manhattan apartment. But the viral allegations are unraveling almost as quickly as they surfaced. The Post has confirmed that the pair reported to two different managing directors, meaning Hajdini had no way of influencing his annual compensation... An internal JPMorgan investigation that reviewed emails, phone records, and witness statements found “no evidence” to support the claims made by “John Doe,” according to a bank spokesperson... Rana had unsuccessfully tried to negotiate a payout from JPMorgan that ran into “millions.”"

Ex-JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana files wild new claims against Lorna Hajdini - "Rana apparently lied to the bank about his father dying so he could collect paid leave — and apparently used the time off to prepare the bombshell lawsuit against Hajdini and his employer. Despite sources saying he used time off for bereavement, The Post found Rana’s father alive and well on Sunday. In Rana’s new filing, one alleged witness — who appears to be a family friend of Rana’s — says he was staying at an apartment while visiting New York City and was woken up by Hajdini’s drunken antics in the middle of the night. He attempted to go back to sleep, but a “completely naked” Hajdini woke him up. Hajdini sat on the couch he was sleeping on, lit a cigarette and began begging him to “join them” in the bedroom, the document claims. Despite refusing several times, the mystery witness claims Hajdini told him “you know I own [redacted], so you better come join.” After she returned to the bedroom, he claims, he could hear Rana pleading, “No, no, no, you have to leave. I’m not going to do this. Please stop.” Hajdini left the apartment later in the night, and a stunned Rana emerged, sharing his story of how Hajdini “constantly harassed him and forced him to engage in sexual behavior with her on a number of occasions,” the docs say. Rana allegedly recalled that Hajdini threatened him with “trouble” if he didn’t comply, and “reiterated his concern that Ms. Hajdini was blackmailing him.” That affirmation also claims witnessing Hajdini be “handsy” with Rana at a concert for Norwegian DJ Kygo at Barclay’s Center earlier that month. The other anonymous affirmation — seemingly from the owner of the apartment where the family friend was staying — claims he saw Hajdini kissing Rana’s neck on the street sometime during the summer of 2024. And in September 2024, she overheard them entering her apartment building, recalling that Hajdini said something that sounded like, “I own you, Brownie.” Both affirmations were signed last July, records show. Other exhibits include an affirmation from Rana, who argues he should proceed anonymously because the alleged events have left him with PTSD. A letter from Johnathan Alpert, an executive psychotherapist, claims to confirm his PTSD diagnosis. Rana cites a June 2025 email to Alpert claiming that he had “not slept in weeks” and was “unable to eat,” was hearing Hajdini’s voice in his head, and “I feared for my own safety” and for his family’s."
JP Morgan executive sues junior colleague over sex slave allegations - "The suit also alleges Rana made “eerily similar” claims in a previous workplace – specifically that he was sexually assaulted, drugged and raped by a supervisor there... Mr Rana was initially seeking a payout of $22m (£17m), sources told the Wall Street Journal. The bank tried to mediate with him, later offering him $1m (£743,000) to settle. Instead, he went public with his allegations. JP Morgan described its former offer as a bid “to avoid the time and expense of litigation and to support an employee who was being threatened with the very reputational harm now unfolding.”"

Then sell those vouchers at a discount for cash. Because we don't seem to arrest drug dealers in the Tenderloin, you can then buy drugs with the cash. California does not look after federal dollars meant for welfare and this poor level of stewardship is insulting to taxpayers. We will see all kinds of schemes affecting Medicaid in California in the months ahead."
How drug dealers are abusing Ohio's food assistance program - "Sussi recently spent time with three drug dealers and addicts in Circleville. They said food assistance benefits are sold and traded for drugs “all the time.” One 31-year-old heroin addict and drug dealer said many of her customers are on welfare and have children. “I just got a phone call earlier somebody wanting to sell $30 worth of food stamps for a berry.” A “berry” is one hit of Mexican black tar heroin, enough to fill up a syringe. It goes for about $15 bucks on the streets. Sussi asked her, “In a given week how many calls will you get from people wanting to sell their food stamps so they can buy dope?” She said, “You probably get four or five calls at least a week.” “These people are buying heroin from food debt cards or money they’ve gotten rather from selling food debt cards,” said Rep. Schaffer. “And it’s worsening the crisis for Ohio families.”"
The B in EBT stands for Bentley - "In one red state alone, more than 14,000 people with EBTs (food stamp recipients) own luxury cars... States approve their applications through the BBCE—Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility—loophole, which allows states to ignore restrictions on eligibility such as income (you can now have an income twice the federal poverty level), eliminate limits on cars, yachts and savings, and states can also waive these limits. 43 states and DC use the loophole to line their pockets. You’ve heard of 10% going back to the big guy. 10.4% of the program’s benefits go back to the state governments. Hence, up to 6 million people—14% of EBT recipients—should be ineligible. EBT costs taxpayers $100 billion a year. Closing the BBCE could save taxpayers $14 billion a year. Think about that the next time Congress complains about feeding soldiers one surf-and-turf on a special occasion. That costs $23 million—or $0.023 billion. So while Senator John Kennedy was complaining about troops getting a nice meal before a heavy assignment, he ignored Rolls Royce drivers getting the same meal using EBT. The FGA report noted, “Critically, these were newer vehicles, manufactured in just the last handful of years—not an old Porsche from 1978 or a Lamborghini from 1997. Moreover, the list is not of all new vehicles—just typical luxury vehicles that were newly manufactured.” 1978 Porsches and 1997 Lambos are classic automobiles, not used cars."
If you object to luxury car owners being on SNAP and want to reduce SNAP fraud, you're a heartless, cruel person who just doesn't want poor people to eat, and should be going after billionaires instead
From Luxury Vehicles to Fake Emails: Why Food Stamp Program Integrity Is More Important Now Than Ever - "Foreign fraudsters are signing up for welfare from overseas using IP addresses traced back to China, Mexico, Canada, and more. And resources meant for the truly needy are instead siphoned off by people who have no business being on welfare in the first place. This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s happening right now, in state after state, because the systems designed to prevent it are failing or simply don’t exist at all. Officially, more than one in every $10 spent on food stamps is in error—and even that excludes a significant amount of fraud. This amounts to nearly $10.4 billion in improper spending each year—a sevenfold increase over erroneous spending 20 years ago. This figure significantly understates the real waste, fraud, and abuse in the program, as the official rate ignores most erroneous payments; many instances of fraud and improper payments go unnoticed or uninvestigated; and the official rate does not account for food stamp trafficking, intentional program violations, and known fraud. But thanks to the 2025 federal reconciliation law, states will now have skin in the food stamp program for the first time ever. Historically, food stamp benefits have been entirely federally funded, but this legislation now requires states to share in the cost of food stamp benefits based on their error rate—the higher the error rate, the more the state is on the hook for... more than one in five food stamp enrollees did not have their identity successfully matched with the address listed on their application for benefits. Countless others had addresses that were marked as undeliverable or registered with a business rather than a residence. Shockingly, hundreds of thousands of enrollees had their most recent verifiable address listed as being in another state—of which tens of thousands had no record of ever living in the state in which they were receiving benefits. It’s not just residency records. Thousands of food stamp enrollees listed Social Security numbers (SSNs) on their application that were unable to be successfully verified, while hundreds had SSNs that were issued before their date of birth. These are clear signs of identify fraud—using both stolen identities and synthetic identities—used to game the system and improperly acquire benefits. A significant number of cases of identity theft in major welfare programs are attributable to illegal aliens using stolen IDs, which, when coupled with the use of synthetic identities, can pose a major threat to resources intended for the truly needy. Yet, despite these obvious signs of fraud, these individuals were able to sign up for and obtain food stamp benefits. Commonsense program integrity provisions like regular data cross-checks against available data sources, shortened recertification periods, and adopting “change reporting” rather than “simplified reporting” would help reduce these instances of blatant fraud. Many individuals were successfully approved for food stamps while using an IP address linked to a foreign country, from China to Mexico to Canada. Even more concerning is foreign emails: More than 5,000 email addresses that were used to sign up for food stamps were from domains based in foreign countries. Others listed email accounts that were disposable, commonly used by individuals or entities engaging in identity theft, phishing attempts, or spam. In total, more than 20,000 email accounts were flagged as either “high” or “very high” risk for fraudulent activity."
Video resurfaces of Ilhan Omar saying ‘World War Eleven’ in embarrassing blunder - "A resurfaced video of Ilhan Omar has sparked online ridicule after she mistakenly referred to World War II as “World War Eleven.” Although Omar quickly corrected herself, the clip still received mockery across social media platforms.

Tokyo’s city hall changes dress code, workers now allowed to wear shorts[Videos] - "For a very long time, the baseline attitude in Japan has been that if you’re working in an office, you should be wearing formal business attire. However, while people in Japan may place great value on traditions, climate change, by its very nature, is unconcerned with conforming to the status quo. With Japan Meteorological Agency data showing the country has experienced its hottest summer on record for three years in a row, the Tokyo metropolitan government decided to rethink the dress code at Tocho, Tokyo’s city hall complex, and now allows workers to wear attire that would have been unthinkable a generation ago: shorts... The new policy isn’t coming without public blowback about the breezy wardrobe choices. Shorts, especially when worn by men, have long been seen as decidedly casual attire in Japan, and some online commenters have grumbled about the idea of government employees dressing in such a laid-back style. The until-now rarity of uncovered male legs in the workplace also raises grooming-related business etiquette questions, as in many Japanese offices stubbly facial hair is discouraged or banned, causing some to wonder if men choosing to wear shorts at Tocho should then also be willing to shave their legs or otherwise remove lower body hair. Despite complaints from those who perceive the new dress code as representing a loss of professional decorum, the above videos appear to imply that shorts are being allowed for workers in internal/back office positions, not necessarily for those in roles which involve directly interacting with residents and other members of the public coming to Tocho to take care of administrative issues. And with Japan’s summers becoming so hot that the country is needing to create new words to describe the heat, it’s nice to see Tocho taking some sort of countermeasures before the end of spring."
No laughing matter: Why it’s time to cancel Facebook’s haha reaction - "The haha emoji is poisoning Facebook. Created 11 years ago to express laughter, the emoji – officially dubbed Grinning Squinting Face – has become the emoji of ridicule. Every time I see that little yellow ball of derision sitting at the bottom of news stories and posts, cackling at the pandemic, climate change, inequality – actually anything where someone is trying to make the world a better place – my faith in humanity slips a little further. While I’m training myself not to click on Facebook’s comments section – and that addictive rush of outrage of reading the horrendous views of strangers – the haha emoji is unavoidable. It takes just one person to click that avatar of vitriol and the post and my newsfeed is tainted forever. Even on stories where the comments are turned off, you’ll still find that little androgynous face of scorn. My experience of social media is now like being followed everywhere by Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons – like every earnest view I hold is a source of belittlement for the world. In a way it has become the emoji of the moment. The emoji of Brexit, Donald Trump and the anti-vaxxers. A weapon of the trolls in the time of the culture wars. So how did the emoji of joy become the emoji of hate?... In 2016, Guardian columnist Abi Wilkinson called it an “obnoxious, chortling little yellow dickhead”... An Irish Times columnist called Tears of Joy “more beastly than any other [emoji]” and a “sobbing cretin popular with right-wing bullies and those with no imagination”... bullies were gifted a new and more powerful tool. As people were given more ways to express their views on Facebook, it soon became clear that, as journalist Daniel Walters wrote, the haha emoji is “an A-hole”. Walters said, rather than laughter, the emoji had been “pressed into service for a more sinister purpose: Derisive mockery of sincere statements”."

Thread by @arctotherium42 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Most Spanish South American countries had very liberal constitutions on independence, guaranteeing property, liberal freedoms like speech and contract, and abolishing the fueros and legal caste/race distinctions, often inspired by but going further than the United States. Many people claim the US was founded as a [classical] liberal state without racial or ethnic content. This is mostly not true; the US was founded by Whigs (the word liberal was coined around 1800) and had explicit race laws. But it *is* true of most of Latin America. Spanish-American liberals were within the Spanish liberal tradition, much like the Founding Fathers were Whigs. 19th Hispanic century liberalism, politically very successful, is overlooked vs Britain or France. Liberalism won but failed in both Spain and America. I suspect liberalism's failure in Spain and Spanish America is overlooked by many because most interested in 19th century liberalism are sympathetic towards it (if leftist, as a precursor of socialism and derivatives, otherwise, in and of itself); the failure is embarrassing. Couple more differences between Spanish America and the US: most of Spanish America abolished slavery without much fuss on independence, and just about every major independence leader from Iturbide to Bolivar to San Martin died in exile, like if Washington had fled to Russia."

Winona Ryder and Jamiroquai "Breasts Too Big, Too Much Sex" Breakup Story - "The Winona Ryder and Jamiroquai "Breasts Too Big, Too Much Sex" Breakup Story refers to a viral story about Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay breaking up with actress Winona Ryder because her breasts were too big and she always wanted to have sex with him.

My sister is pregnant for the fourth time in four years and I’m worried for her. : r/self - "She’s 23 and currently expecting baby #4. She got married at 19 in 2022, got pregnant pretty much right away, their first daughter was born just over nine months after the wedding. They had a second daughter in March 2024, she was pregnant again by the fall and they had a son in June of last year. I figured (and hoped) they would at the very least take a break after that. I thought maybe they had just been trying for a boy secretly and now that they had one, she’d get some rest. They had. She seems really happy on the outside and I haven’t noticed any major issues, mental or physical, but I know it isn’t really a wise idea. She’s in good shape which probably helps but still not all that reassuring. She’s pregnant yet again and due in July. I know it’s not my place to bring it up to her but I’ve read up on it and read some horror stories about woman who’ve died from having too many children in rapid succession. I’m terrified they are going to get pregnant yet again after this one, as their track record isn’t very encouraging."
