The statement went on to say that “the management of Jadrolita, along with Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety.
” It demanded an immediate public apology from Peller within 48 hours and stated that Jarvis had “never engaged in any form of illicit financial conduct.” Aiso stated, “We hereby demand that Peller and his management issue an immediate, unconditional, and publicly disseminated apology to Jadrolita and her team,” advising that if the statement was not retracted, legal action would be taken. The management further said the allegation amounted to reputational sabotage and insisted that the matter would not be ignored.
