## Resource

A consultant is suing a former city official and a top real estate broker, alleging they demanded $250,000 in cash to approve lucrative NYC leases worth $8 million — a bribe he refused, leading to a false assault report, his removal from the project, and eventual contract termination. Now seeking $36 million in damages, the case also reveals a history of legal battles for Dayem, including a bizarre 2017 lawsuit over a wig allegedly used to torment him.
