Hamptons squatter alleges harassment by homeowner, prospective buyer

The Cantor Fitzgerald exec accused of exploiting pandemic-related protections to avoid eviction from a $5 million Hamptons mansion claims he and his wife have been harassed and humiliated in a bid to force them out — including through the use of “defamatory memes” sent to his bosses

Pion, the financial services firm’s chief administrative officer and senior managing director, also accused Krause and Appel in an affidavit of being "behind a series of defamatory memes that were sent to media outlets and the executive management of Cantor Fitzgerald, questioning my ethics, in a blatant effort to cause reputational harm." The memes aren’t attached as exhibits or even described in the affidavit.
