Shadowing Practice: He just destroyed his own life.. - Learn English Speaking with Video

This guy is so fucking stupid.

This is, it's actually crazy how much this dude ruined his entire life.

Uh-oh, he's in trouble.

Tongue Tongue Sahara is in some serious trouble because the J.P.

Morgan lawsuit, it just blew up in his face.

Because if you remember, this guy,

he accused a top executive at J.P.

Morgan for turning him into a slave.

A sex slave.

And being a racist, too.

his lawyers dropped him so clearly things are going too well for him like you would assume

that things are going pretty badly

when your own lawyer quits on you the morning of court but

if you don't know what's going on a former jp barren

banker named try you ron he filed a lawsuit accusing executive

lorna hagini of basically turning his life into a wall i love how by the way the moment

that you got this guy's picture everybody immediately realized it was bullshit They instantly Like,

wait a sec, okay Yeah,

no, no That didn't happen Okay,

guys He claimed he threatened his career

Made racial comments towards him And tried to coerce him into becoming What he literally described as a Slave,

so what happened?

Well, JPMorgan denied these claims Hageni denied everything And reports started questioning parts of Rana's story And suddenly,

the entire case turned into like both sides accusing each other of completely lying.

And now things just keep getting worse

because Rana just walked into one of the biggest hearings in the case

so far and immediately got hit with multiple disasters back to back.

So first, J.P.

Morgan came out and basically said they investigated the allegations internally and found no evidence supporting them.

And the bank also claimed that Rana refused to fully cooperate with investigators.

And meanwhile, Hajini completely denied everything and her legal team even argued

that she'd never been in some of locations where the alleged

assault supposedly happened no way from there the entire case basically turned into a credibility war

because the more reporting that came out the more uh bizarre things around rana

and his story also well didn't wasn't he caught using like

a lawyer gpt to make up the same story about a different company

that he worked at i mean the dude obviously made it up like it it's

so fucking clear covered like there was reports

that he allegedly lied about his father passing away

so he could take time off of work there was also

allegations he had previously described a nearly identical workplace abuse story to an ai legal chatbot yeah except in

that version the company was morgan stanley and the alleged abuser was a man

so to say this is a mess that's putting it lightly

but the latest disaster started in the morning of a major court hearing in new york

and dude i mean the timing couldn't have looked worse

if you like scripted it on television

because just hours before ronald was supposed to appear in court

his own attorney supposedly uh filed paperwork asking to withdraw from the case

and the pro the reason why that probably happened is

that he lied to the attorney that's what i'm assuming happened is

that he lied to the attorney and the attorney found out about it

and he's like i don't want to deal with this like

it's it's not worth it this isn't just any attorney either this is Daniel Kaiser,

a pretty high profile lawyer who previously represented Jeffrey Epstein accusers and had been publicly defending Rana for weeks.

And this is the same lawyer who'd been telling reporters

that people criticizing Rana's story would supposedly be embarrassed once all the evidence came out. So

why is he suddenly dropping the whole case the day of the hearing i don't know probably

because he found out that the information

that the guy provided was false that's probably what happened

but obviously things get worse

because now rana seemingly represented himself pro se bro's suddenly pulling

down bro like he just went out there talk psychic going up against jp morgan

but okay like lawyers would draw from cases sometimes like

that alone doesn't automatically mean that someone's guilty or lying

or doomed or anything like

that technically there are a whole bunch of reasons attorneys can drop clients

but dude the morning of the hearing it just doesn't look good especially

when the lawyer no lawyer does that especially a high profile lawyer does

that without a really really good reason to do

that like you could see like maybe some you know better call saul face on a billboard lawyer would do

that like i don't know like probably not even they would do

that like you could see that happen like but there's something there's something

that was wrong there lawyer got paid off oh surely there

is someone known for representing high profile victims like it just doesn't uh yeah i think

that also that kills that argument too it's like

if this guy was representing against jeffrey epstein like i mean

really i don't think that's really what would have happened comes

off here maybe the attorney uh doesn't think he's a victim anymore

but who knows that's all just speculation

so now we have i guess tung tung sahur just solo queuing right now going in against jp morgan themselves

and also a uh countersuit from lorna hagini

but this hearing itself was pretty important especially for rana

because he was trying to continue to sue under the name

john doe instead of using his real name in public court files

and his legal team already knows the lawsuit involved i guess um you know assault

and harassment yeah he should be be allowed to keep his identity protected.

But Hajini's lawyers and JPMorgan both came in swinging very hard against that whole request because their argument was basically,

how can this guy stay anonymous when the entire internet already knows who he is?

Which is my exact reaction because like we've already made two videos on this guy at this point.

I'm not just going to randomly think,

oh, this lawsuit is about someone else.

It's a different tongue tongue sahur.

Like honestly, like who are we trying to trick here?

Like just so much of this case just doesn't make sense.

So according to Hajini's lawyers,

Rana himself has already publicly spoken about the case in media interviews.

So the judge ended up actually siding against him.

So she reportedly said that you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

And I guess quick clarification here,

100

because this part got weirdly confusing even in the actual reporting.

101

So a lot has happened in this case over the last few weeks.

102

And honestly, like I was kind of waiting to make this update until the hearing

103

because orders of record have to give the court paper uh

104

because dropping a client

105

and it must be approved by the court typically cannot just

106

quit i'm assuming like that's what i'm saying like it had to be

107

that he found out

108

that the guy sent him fake stuff i genuinely thought we

109

were about to get charana rana representing himself in court

110

which honestly i was kind of excited to see how all

111

that would go down but technically even those lawyer filed paperwork trying to quit the case

112

that same morning the judge had not officially approved that would draw yet so during the hearing itself,

113

Daniel Kaiser was still technically Rana's attorney.

114

So he was there even though he was actively trying to leave the case at the same time.

115

So interesting situation.

116

I mean, what an incredible vibe of the courtroom.

117

I should have actually been there.

118

Maybe maybe I'll lock in and show up for the next one.

119

Now we have a dude who basically the entire Internet thinks is lying.

120

And his attorney apparently doesn't want anything to do with him.

121

But he's also stuck in the courtroom defending him that's something worth seeing

122

but apparently it's really bad court appearance super bad attorney

123

which you know for right now is still daniel kaiser he

124

seemed completely unprepared once the judge started pressing him for actual legal precedent

125

and at one point the judge reportedly asked whether there were

126

any examples of someone being allowed to stay anonymous after their identity had already become public

127

and at this point rana's lawyer basically had to admit he didn't have one

128

and this is not really the kind of moment you want happening in front of the judge

129

when your entire argument depends on convincing the court

130

that you deserve you know special protections

131

but meanwhile a genie's legal team was basically arguing

132

that the entire situation had become very unfair to her because

133

while ronna was trying to stay protected as john doe her

134

real name was already being blasted all across the internet

135

and i mean hey it's actually a really good point right it is

136

because like now her reputation's destroyed over something that's basically a lie.

137

That's a fair point.

138

And this is where the story kind of just gets sad because regardless of who ends up being right in court,

139

this case is already pretty much destroyed both these people's lives publicly.

140

Tajini's lawyers claims that, you know,

141

she's been dealing with non-stop harassment ever since the lawsuit went viral.

142

And they even submitted examples of some of the emails that she was allegedly receiving during all allegations.

143

And yeah, it's...

144

Wait, What the fuck like what does this guy say?

145

Oh my god new slave.

146

Oh my god you bad fly me out you got hips I want to be behind.

147

Oh my Christmas Jesus Christ And yeah,

148

it's safe to say some of these messages are insane because here you have apparently strangers sending her graphic messages threats Yeah,

149

telling her to hurt herself I'm asking you on this.

150

I was saying we're pretty much guaranteed to see some sort of countersuit from her

151

and well hell that's already happened

152

because hagini has officially escalated things even further by filing a countersuit against rana himself

153

and the countersuit is basically just her side going completely scorched earth hagini's legal team basically argued

154

that rana should not get any special treatment

155

while her reputation was getting publicly obliterated online every single I think

156

that you could have made an argument

157

that you know he should have had his reputation hidden

158

but the problem is

159

that he already had his reputation out there like I mean like it was already out there begin with.

160

So it's not even, it's not even happening.

161

...days since all these allegations dropped.

162

And Hageni is basically arguing that Rana intentionally weaponized public attention to destroy her reputation.

163

And according to her countersuit,

164

she claims the allegations were entirely false,

165

malicious, and fabricated, and were created for personal enrichment.

166

Her lawyers also accused Rana of trying to extort millions of dollars from both her

167

and JP Morgan by turning the case into a public scandal.

168

So now they're no longer just denying allegations.

169

They're now actively painting Rana as someone who allegedly created an entire fake story for leverage and money.

170

And at one point, the filing even claims

171

that Rana allegedly made an eerily similar fabricated allegations against a supervisor at a previous job.

172

Now, to be fair, that specific claim has apparently not been independently verified yet,

173

but it's interesting that that's now been included in the filings of this countersuit.

174

And also a reminder that JP Morgan apparently did try to settle this privately before the lawsuit exploded publicly.

175

That's crazy.

176

They even tried to fuck around with that too.

177

Oh my God.

178

Does the defendant ever get to just stay anonymous in these cases?

179

Yeah, absolutely they do.

180

So inside a lot of sexual assault and sexual harassment lawsuits,

181

inside of cases, especially against big companies,

182

the defendant has the privilege of remaining anonymous for their safety and also just for public embarrassment.

183

So this is very common.

184

You see Jane Doe's and John Doe's all the time in these circumstances.

185

It's extremely common.

186

Because according to the bank,

187

they offered him a million dollars.

188

And apparently the settlement discussion wasn't because they believed the claims.

189

They said they wanted to avoid any reputational damage of a massive public legal war involving one of their executives,

190

which makes sense because, you know,

191

if you Google JP Morgan right now,

192

this lawsuit's kind of everywhere.

193

I mean, it's just not a good look for the bank.

194

And that could also be used for another countersuit from the bank as well.

195

I mean, I don't think Rana is in that good of a spot right now.

196

But again, reportedly, JPMorgan offered him about a million dollars.

197

But Rana was reportedly holding out because he wanted way more.

198

And some reports were saying he wanted north of $20 million.

199

Oh my God.

200

Wow.

201

Dude, if he pulled that one off,

202

that would have literally been a bank robbery.

203

He literally just had $20 million right there.

204

What can easily become the ugliest stage yet because now Hageni is suing Rana back for defamation.

205

JP Morgan is openly backing her side.

206

And the court has officially stripped away the anonymity Rana was trying to keep.

207

Meaning from this point forward,

208

this will only get more and more public.

209

If Rana somehow proves these allegations were true,

210

this becomes one of the biggest workplace abuse scandals modern Wall Street has seen.

211

But if these claims are completely false and,

212

you know, collapse in court,

213

this is going to be really ugly for him.

214

Currently, the next court- I think it's really good

215

and it's really important that this case happens because it'll create a precedent that,

216

I mean, obviously civil court precedent isn't as strong as criminal court,

217

but like it's still referenced.

218

It will create another point on the graph

219

and another precedent of a person who created false allegations

220

and who defamed another person being held accountable

221

that can be used in the future when this happens and the situation is more gray.

222

So like it's super important that this gets locked in.

223

june 23rd and i'm definitely going to be interested to see

224

if rana will be representing himself

225

or not most likely he won't i mean it'll be entertaining

226

if he did

227

but i don't think he will well let me know what you think in the comments down below

228

and i'll see you guys in tomorrow's video peace what a fucking idiot who does

229

that really like who does this that's insane

230

and uh yeah what a mistake i'll link you guys the

231

video there it is i mean i i he actually ruined his entire life.

232

He could have walked away with a seven figure settlement over a literal lie that they just did for damage control.

233

And now that's not possible.

234

And he's going to lose everything he ever had like this.

235

It's going to be totally over.

236

This is completely cooked.

237

He's totally done.

238

And to make it public, they should.

239

They definitely should.

240

I actually had to be honest,

241

I bet the woman probably wouldn't even want that.

242

Right.

243

That way it wouldn't happen.

244

so what happened to believe all victims well the thing is

245

that people did believe it

246

and i guess for asking us on i don't want to

247

watch it like i mean again like uh you know any of the stuff like you know

248

if he wants to involve himself in a protest

249

or anything else uh i don't like i don't want to gas up

250

or support any type of like harassment

251

or violence uh like nobody should be like a son annoys me with things

252

that he says

253

but like i don't want to have i i don't want

254

to have the guy i don't want to have people like harass him in real life

255

or you know be like aggressive towards him in real life like i i don't want that

256

and uh that's bad for all of us right it's bad

257

for him it's bad for me it's bad for the environment uh it's bad for everybody

258

so yeah uh i i don't support that at all

259

and uh that's really it and uh fuel in the fire yeah yeah sure

260

and uh so pathetic i i guess right

261

but like i don't really know exactly what happens i'll probably look at it at some point.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
