Former Assistant's Plot Against Boss Unravels

2008_09_lawsuit.jpgLast year, we mentioned that a financial firm secretary was suing her boss for sexual harassment, claiming he suggested she have an affair with his ex-wife, bring him his erectile dysfunction medicine, and add "F--- Services" to her business card. But now Fatima Monahan is dropping the charges, admitting she made those stories up to "deflect attention" from former boss Frederick Iseman's claims that she charged various items to his credit card (last year, Iseman's lawyer called her a "total liar and a thief"). Monahan, who the Sun says made $125,000 as Iseman's assistant, admitted her allegations "were and are entirely untrue." She pleaded guilty to stealing $45,000 from Iseman (to buy luxury clothing, etc.), must pay restitution and is serving 5 years probation. Iseman said, "She's extremely devious and extremely dangerous."

$125,000 is not enough to live the high life?

Another gold digger which makes women look bad.

From the comments section of the original Gothamist post:

"Wow, bankers are lascivious and misogynistic? Shocking! What's amazing to be is that these codgers are still so horny even after they cease to be able to get it up without pharmaceutical help.

So, it seems to me, that the best revenge on this guy, would have been, to tape record some of his requests, quit, and mail a copy to all of his competitors. Of course, he'd be forced to retire, probably get some cushy severance to keep quiet, but, hey, he'd be trashed.

GO SABRES!"
