The Wall Street CEO who has to pay $18 million to his former intern for pressuring her intoಌ sex could be on the hook for another $300 million to her attorneys for defaming them on his blog as “midget lawyers” and “extortionists.”
Attorneys Davi✤d Ratner and Benedict Mo𒁃relli, who won the big jury award for their client Hanna Bouveng in June, are suing New York Global Group head Benjamin Wey for defamation, over statements he posted on the website The Blot Magazine and in other public forums.
In the height 🥂s♛light, Wey calls Ratner a “4-foot-tall midget lawyer” who is “short on the law.”
Ratner is, in fact, more than 5 feet tall.
The blog also falsely claims that Ratner a𝔍nd partওner Morelli are “crooks” who are under FBI investigation for bank fraud, according to the suit.
Ratner, Morelli and two other attorneys from their firm want a judge to bar Wey from making further de💧fa🐷matory statements.
They are also asking for $100 million in compensatory damages and $200 million i𝓡n punitive damages.
A spokeswoman for Wey’s lawyers said, “We’ll n🦩eed to review this 🧸and cannot comment at this time.”
The married, 43-year-old Wey sexually harassed his pretty, 25-year-old Swe♚dish underling, then trashed her online after he found her in bed with another man, a jury found last month.
Ratner blasted Wey for skipping the verdict.
“He’💧s got balls when he’s hiding behind his stupid [blog], but when it comes to facing the jurors, he doesn’t show up,” Ratner told The Post in June.
