    Armenian Mafia in Los Angeles County?

    Hey all,

    I've been noticing an excessive number of defaults in the San Fernando Valley area of California. I'm hearing this could be directly releated to an Armenian crime syndicate. Which I can only assume are these people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Power. Anyone heard anything about this or have similar issues?

    Thanks in advance!

    If I were a funder, I’d avoid sole props in Cali.

    I've spoken with several colleagues in the industry over the past few weeks on the issue and can confirm it is in-fact an issue. There were several instances of this crime ring kidnapping/extorting legitimate business owners to apply for an advance and then would steal the money before releasing the kidnapped family member or dropping the threats of blackmail. While avoiding sole props in Cali is of course one option, if a legitimate business is forced to apply - there really isn't much we can do to stop it.

    I think in sales that's a technique called "Alternate Choice"


    I just want to understand one thing. Calif wants to regulate everyone but the Armenian and Mexican mafia?

    I saw a paper straw wrapped in plastic! cant make it up... if someone wants to make money (i don't need a royalties) create FAT PLASTIC STRAWS put trump (if its legal) or some other message for the party and market them should sell well! the fatter the better!

    I walked out of a local grocery store they said no longer plastic bags...I was like whats if your potato company told you no more plastic bags for 5LB potato bags ! they would drop that company like a hot potato (no pun intended).

    They will just mandate smokable hemp burlap sacks. Keep you high and fat while taxing the bezeezus out of those that have the audacity to work for a living.

    I would fund an Armenian or any nationality that's an american citizen and let me take the time to remind everyone that we have UW support to fund merchants in many languages!! we funded a Russian speaking and (large) Korean speaking merchant just in the last 5 hours!

    Without a doubt I’m seeing an uptick of fraudulent files by Armenians in Cali. They aren’t even good frauds. The bank statements look ridiculous.

    To add to this thread, if you see any catering companies located in Cali looking for funds and the owner has an Armenian name, 99% chance it’s fraud. Seen about a dozen of these over the past few months.

    I have a CC permit and we have stand your ground laws here in Florida. I went to the beach this morning and unloaded a clip from my .45 into a wave that had a little bit of redness....
