1
This guy is so fucking stupid.
2
This is, it's actually crazy how much this dude ruined his entire life.
3
Uh-oh, he's in trouble.
4
Tongue Tongue Sahara is in some serious trouble because the J.P.
5
Morgan lawsuit, it just blew up in his face.
6
Because if you remember, this guy,
7
he accused a top executive at J.P.
8
Morgan for turning him into a slave.
9
A sex slave.
10
And being a racist, too.
11
his lawyers dropped him so clearly things are going too well for him like you would assume
12
that things are going pretty badly
13
when your own lawyer quits on you the morning of court but
14
if you don't know what's going on a former jp barren
15
banker named try you ron he filed a lawsuit accusing executive
16
lorna hagini of basically turning his life into a wall i love how by the way the moment
17
that you got this guy's picture everybody immediately realized it was bullshit They instantly Like,
18
wait a sec, okay Yeah,
19
no, no That didn't happen Okay,
20
guys He claimed he threatened his career
21
Made racial comments towards him And tried to coerce him into becoming What he literally described as a Slave,
22
so what happened?
23
Well, JPMorgan denied these claims Hageni denied everything And reports started questioning parts of Rana's story And suddenly,
24
the entire case turned into like both sides accusing each other of completely lying.
25
And now things just keep getting worse
26
because Rana just walked into one of the biggest hearings in the case
27
so far and immediately got hit with multiple disasters back to back.
28
So first, J.P.
29
Morgan came out and basically said they investigated the allegations internally and found no evidence supporting them.
30
And the bank also claimed that Rana refused to fully cooperate with investigators.
31
And meanwhile, Hajini completely denied everything and her legal team even argued
32
that she'd never been in some of locations where the alleged
33
assault supposedly happened no way from there the entire case basically turned into a credibility war
34
because the more reporting that came out the more uh bizarre things around rana
35
and his story also well didn't wasn't he caught using like
36
a lawyer gpt to make up the same story about a different company
37
that he worked at i mean the dude obviously made it up like it it's
38
so fucking clear covered like there was reports
39
that he allegedly lied about his father passing away
40
so he could take time off of work there was also
41
allegations he had previously described a nearly identical workplace abuse story to an ai legal chatbot yeah except in
42
that version the company was morgan stanley and the alleged abuser was a man
43
so to say this is a mess that's putting it lightly
44
but the latest disaster started in the morning of a major court hearing in new york
45
and dude i mean the timing couldn't have looked worse
46
if you like scripted it on television
47
because just hours before ronald was supposed to appear in court
48
his own attorney supposedly uh filed paperwork asking to withdraw from the case
49
and the pro the reason why that probably happened is
50
that he lied to the attorney that's what i'm assuming happened is
51
that he lied to the attorney and the attorney found out about it
52
and he's like i don't want to deal with this like
53
it's it's not worth it this isn't just any attorney either this is Daniel Kaiser,
54
a pretty high profile lawyer who previously represented Jeffrey Epstein accusers and had been publicly defending Rana for weeks.
55
And this is the same lawyer who'd been telling reporters
56
that people criticizing Rana's story would supposedly be embarrassed once all the evidence came out. So
57
why is he suddenly dropping the whole case the day of the hearing i don't know probably
58
because he found out that the information
59
that the guy provided was false that's probably what happened
60
but obviously things get worse
61
because now rana seemingly represented himself pro se bro's suddenly pulling
62
down bro like he just went out there talk psychic going up against jp morgan
63
but okay like lawyers would draw from cases sometimes like
64
that alone doesn't automatically mean that someone's guilty or lying
65
or doomed or anything like
66
that technically there are a whole bunch of reasons attorneys can drop clients
67
but dude the morning of the hearing it just doesn't look good especially
68
when the lawyer no lawyer does that especially a high profile lawyer does
69
that without a really really good reason to do
70
that like you could see like maybe some you know better call saul face on a billboard lawyer would do
71
that like i don't know like probably not even they would do
72
that like you could see that happen like but there's something there's something
73
that was wrong there lawyer got paid off oh surely there
74
is someone known for representing high profile victims like it just doesn't uh yeah i think
75
that also that kills that argument too it's like
76
if this guy was representing against jeffrey epstein like i mean
77
really i don't think that's really what would have happened comes
78
off here maybe the attorney uh doesn't think he's a victim anymore
79
but who knows that's all just speculation
80
so now we have i guess tung tung sahur just solo queuing right now going in against jp morgan themselves
81
and also a uh countersuit from lorna hagini
82
but this hearing itself was pretty important especially for rana
83
because he was trying to continue to sue under the name
84
john doe instead of using his real name in public court files
85
and his legal team already knows the lawsuit involved i guess um you know assault
86
and harassment yeah he should be be allowed to keep his identity protected.
87
But Hajini's lawyers and JPMorgan both came in swinging very hard against that whole request because their argument was basically,
88
how can this guy stay anonymous when the entire internet already knows who he is?
89
Which is my exact reaction because like we've already made two videos on this guy at this point.
90
I'm not just going to randomly think,
91
oh, this lawsuit is about someone else.
92
It's a different tongue tongue sahur.
93
Like honestly, like who are we trying to trick here?
94
Like just so much of this case just doesn't make sense.
95
So according to Hajini's lawyers,
96
Rana himself has already publicly spoken about the case in media interviews.
97
So the judge ended up actually siding against him.
98
So she reportedly said that you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
99
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.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
