The high flying lawyer repping disgraced former JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana in his salacious sex-slave lawsuit has suddenly dropped his client \u2014 just hours before a court hearing, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n

Daniel Kaiser, who previously repped Jeffrey Epstein accusers, filed a consent to be \u201cdischarged\u201d as attorney for Rana just hours before they were due to appear in court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, the document reveals that Rana does not have a new lawyer lined up, and will be representing himself \u201cpro se\u201d until he decides to find a new attorney.<\/p>\n

The surprise filing comes ahead of an afternoon courtroom appearance, where he was supposed to argue for his client\u2019s right to be officially known only as \u201cJohn Doe\u201d in the court docket.<\/p>\n

Since the case was first filed, Kaiser has repeatedly defended Rana\u2019s claims, even once stating that The Post would be \u201cembarrassed\u201d by its reporting on the scandal once all of the evidence is revealed.<\/p>\n

Kaiser represented several Epstein accusers, including Jennifer Araoz, 38, a New York woman who said the deceased sex trafficker groomed her for sex when she was 14-years-old.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini \u2014 who Rana claims turned him into a sex slave \u2014 has since filed defamation claims against him.<\/p>\n

A JP Morgan spokesperson declined to comment on Rana\u2019s latest legal headache, but reiterated that the firm has no intention of settling the matter, noting that the bank has maintained from the outset that the allegations are without merit.<\/p>\n
