Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guide, not quite on humor me ...

Smigle and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Oden Creek to David Letterman

help make you funnier this week, my guest. SNL's Mikey Day and Head Writer, Streader

Side L helped an Occupella band with their "Between Songs Banner." Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Wasn't a humor me with Robert Smigle and Friends on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcast. Hey guys, it's us and the Jonas Brothers, I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick and guess what?

We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas, we invented a podcast.

Well we didn't invent it. We just concluded to our people to do podcasts. We used to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being an ask questions. Well sick and tired of just a strong way to put it, but you know, tired and sick, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Just listen, we don't care where you hear it. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque, others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games,

and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having troubles stopping the muscle growth. Listen to superhuman on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you saw it was.

Your identity is formed by a secret history.

I'm Danny Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of showed me out of the way and said move, and he went help the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off, and that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets, on the iHeart Radio app,

Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Driving around in my black beat up crowned vick. It's a police interceptor that kind detectives cruise around in on cop shows like the wire or a Bosch, and it started. Woohoo! Every time the car starts today it's going to be a little miracle.

And after a friend of mine let me use it whenever it's not needed out of film shoot. It's all very LA. Today I'm using it to crisscross the streets of Glendale. There's nothing that really distinguishes this as it doesn't scream like you're in little Armenia. We did just see our Armenian Orthodox cross on the top of a preschool.

Glendale is the Armenian neighborhood in LA. It's become a lot more gentrified over here now, and there's a lot of high-end jewelry stores and Pokey bars. It feels like the neighborhood has changed quite a bit. Just like I flew to Salt Lake City to understand what Jacob comes from. Today I'm fighting LA traffic to ask around about the lion. Lavon Tremenzian.

Glendale is, or at least a while ago, was, his community.

My first role of the dice is in our median church that Lavon was a member of back in the day.

We're at the Armenian Apostolic Church of Glendale and it is God. Weeds everywhere God. God looks like they're going to develop this into fancy condos. Well, that was a bust. We keep driving to what we think is the address of Lavon's former personal assistant. The destination is on your left. There's some sort of series construction going on. It looks like people once lived here, but

this looks like a very, very dead end. But I won't be deterred. Next, we roll up to an Armenian bakery. These places have been around for decades. They're real community spots. Okay, so we are walking into the Buckleva factory.

Hi, how are you? What is your most famous Armenian pastry?

From Armenia? What is that? Fingers with cash? You're okay. Well, it's a two fingers and one pineapple. Can we talk to you a little bit about the neighborhood? Would you want to podcast on a famous guy that everybody called the lion? Did you know him? No. Okay, we try another bakery. Load up on more pastries and talk to some older women in line. Did you go up in this neighborhood?

Yes.

No dice. Again. But this time, I sense a weird energy. No one's going to talk about the

bond. Did you see her face? Yes. The minute we said his name, her face of this kindly old lady

literally shattered and she gave me a dirty look. Maybe the woman just isn't interested in talking to a reporter or she does know the bond and she shut down immediately. Either way, it's becoming pretty clear to me that finding out anything about the lion won't be easy. But I'm going to do everything I can to dig into this guy's backstory. Lavon is clearly someone who inspires fear and respect in those around him. He's no stranger

to a criminal courtroom, and his cell phone is filled with big-time connections. My name is Michelle McFey, and from the teams at novel and iHeart podcast,

this is Kingdom of Fraud, episode three, the boys.

[music] When we left Jacob, at the end of the last episode, he's just been notified that the IRS is going to conduct an audit of his company, Washiki Renewable Energy. While at the same time, the EPA is also looking into him. Jacob sent her a lot of pressure. If the feds get too close, he and his entire family could very well end up in prison.

When the audit begins, an IRS agent, an unassuming man named Joseph Langford, actually gets his own desk inside the Wariopses. Every day, the agent pours through mountains of paperwork, much of

it fake, and requests document after document. So Jacob, his wife Sally and his mom Rachel

stopped frantically faking more documents, blanking out amounts and typing in bigger numbers so that everything lines up. But this is a cartoon solution to a real-world problem. They can only keep up the shenanigans for so long. Jacob needs help, so he flies to LA, and tells Levant what's going on. But Levant, he doesn't seem worried at all. He has my producer Jake, re-enacting Jacob's testimony about that moment.

He said, don't worry about it. His boys would take care of it. He said he had people in the government that would prevent any audits or prosecution or persecution. He called them his boys or his umbrella. Levant is telling Jacob that he has a network of corrupt law enforcement at his disposal,

a very powerful coder of crooked cops and federal agents. In that moment, Levant becomes

something more formidable than just a business partner in Jacob's eyes. He becomes a protector with a dark side. That is the real reason I drove to Glendale all the way from Venice on the west side of LA, which is like driving to a different state in other cities. But I want to find out the truth about who Levant is and about who he's connected to. First though, I want to tell you something. In my day job, I work as a senior writer and

investigative editor at Los Angeles Magazine. That's where my first story about Jacob and Levant came out back in October 2022. Just a few months later, Levant's attorney, Mark Garagos, bought the magazine with another lawyer. Anyone who is anyone in LA has heard of Mark. He's a go-to defense attorney with a roster of headline-making clients. To be clear, this podcast is editorially independent from Los Angeles Magazine,

Mark Garagos and Levant. But obviously, I've asked Mark if he wanted to come on this podcast. And I wasn't surprised when he declined. Like most lawyers, Mark doesn't want to say anything in the

media that could jeopardize his client. We've also reached out to Levant directly, but he never responded.

Mark did get someone at the firm who actually knows Levant better than he doe...

insight into their client. How would you describe your relationship with him?

Best friends. I consider him family. Sitarra Casim was a young attorney at Garagos and Garagos when

she first represented Levant. So, how did the weekday good friends from that first day that we

met in court? That was back in 2012. Levant had gotten himself into a situation that required his lawyer's services. It was a silly case. He was accused of being at a restaurant in West Hollywood. The waitress claimed that he spit on her and something trivial like that. He was charged with battery and criminal threats. He was acquitted of criminal threats and convicted on the battery for allegedly spitting on this waitress. Tell me your first impression of him. I knew exactly

who I was meeting when I saw him waiting in the hallway. Very charismatic, but he has a very scar-faced persona. He speaks just like him somehow, even though he's Armenian and not Cuban. Sitarra describes Levant's upbringing as a classic case of the American dream. Levant was born in Yeravan, the capital of Armenia in 1966. Then, in 1980, Levant's entire family, mom, dad, and older brother Grigor, all emigrated to L.A. As soon as they arrived,

Levant found himself in a high school. He barely spoke any English. He went to high school

in Hollywood High and dropped out when he was a freshman in high school. Never graduated.

The story goes that the family badly needed an extra income. And so, Levant stepped up. Got a job at a gas station, learn the gas station business, have pumps work, the register, the basics, and ended up buying a gas station, or a pump at a gas station, and from there,

just bought more locations, and that ended up being Neuel Energy. Neuel, remember, is Lion

spelled backwards? Why does your client have this obsession with lions? Because he's a Leo. It's a Zodiac sign. Tell me about Neuel. What kind of company is it? It's a gas station. Literally, gas stations that are kind of rundown. They do well because they cater to a very niche clients' health, which are big ribs. They have good locations by the freeway, big ribs go, they fill up, and go about their way. There's nothing more to Neuel than that.

In 1989, when Levant was 23, he got married to an Armenian girl. He'd fallen in love with. As Levant built up businesses across California, he and his wife raised two children, Anne and George. But Levant's wife suffered from a serious mental health illness and died in 2012. It made him step up as a father, you know, Annie and George became his soul responsibility. He was a great dad. Levant was hit hard by the death of his wife. He had just met Jacob

Kingston months before, but Jacob actually came to the funeral. It was just months later that's

the Tara says she first walked into Levant's life. What was Levant's life like then?

Very large. Very large. Go to restaurants and Beverly Hills. We'd always hang out at the Beverly

Wilshire. The Beverly Wilshire of pretty woman fame is a ritzy, fuzzy, five-star hotel. The darkwood panel's hotel bar is where the rich, empowerful of L.A. gathered to take their lunch and close power deals. It's Levant's favorite spot. What was his favorite drink? What would you order? Lamb chops in Ticula. He'd sit there and eat his lamb chops and drink his Ticula. And that was it. That was just how the day would go by. In the years after the first battery

case, so Tara built a close relationship with Levant. It sounds to me like he became a sort of father figured to her. I would go to him a lot about like my boyfriend's and stuff and especially with my current husband. I would tell him if we were fighting or you know the Samad and who just give me advice. I saw him being a really good friend and just being very supportive to the people around him. So Tara is both Levant's best friend and his fiercely dedicated lawyer. So it's not shocking

that she has nothing but good things to say about him. It's not this charismatic personality that tricks people. I think people see that he's a genuine person. He's a genuine soul. He's really not

There to hurt anyone.

SNL's Mikey Day and Head Writer, Streeter Side L helped an Occupella band with their between songs Banner. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for Banner. Listen to humor me with Robert's Michael and friends on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's us the Jonas Brothers and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news of each news? We created our own podcast. Oh,

hey Jonas, we invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to first people to

do podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. But this one's extra special. So how do we

we actually come up with a name? Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call

about what we should call it. And oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. Well, this is how you guys remember it going down. Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. We could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I broke down on my little note pad. Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title. Oh, the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to hey Jonas on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen, we don't care where you hear it. Imagine an Olympics where dopeing is not only legal,

but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human

potential. Either way, the podcast's superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games, and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having troubles stopping the muscle growth. Listen to superhuman on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shanker, a cognitive scientist

and host of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long, the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [Music] There's this one revealing moment in Jacob's testimony that really peaked my interest.

Our first clue to the unbelievable amount of corruption in this case. Here's my producer, Jake,

with Jacob's testimony about a conversation he had with Levont about Levont's connections, his boys. He meant his umbrella, the people he worked with and protected him. He told me that he worked with them for a lot of years. There were people that were investigating in 1993. His arrest. Okay, now I want to know what happened back in 1993. I find the answer in an LA Times article from March 4th of that year. The Times reported that armed federal agents carried out a raid

of an alleged criminal ring. The takedown was nicknamed Operation Diesel Storm. Get it?

The targets were suspected of running a multi-million dollar fraud by claiming tax exemptions

on fuel that wasn't actually eligible. Sound familiar? Early one morning in 93, agents stormed into a bunch of apartments in Hollywood in a arrested four men. Among them, Gregor and Levont are men's in. Two brothers. Just weeks after their arrest, the other two guys locked up that morning, walked away. Their cases were dismissed. Levont and his brother went to trial, but they were both found not guilty.

In his testimony, Jacob alleges that Levont got away with it because his boys were pulling

Strings behind the scenes, which would have to mean powerful corruption reach...

deepest recesses of the federal court system. But that has never been proven.

Then I get my hands on documents related to another case featuring Levont. This one from 2003.

In Armenian guy who went by the name Gordo was wanted by Glendale PD. Gordo was a main suspect in an armed kidnapping plot. Here's how Glendale police detective Tim Filly describes what went down. Detective Filly has finally closed in on the suspect. Gordo. He's in his unmarked cop car and he's following Gordo, a short back eye, through the streets of Glendale. Then, he spots Gordo getting into a black Mercedes. The detective can discern that two other

men are also in the car. Then, the Mercedes moves and pulls up right next to Detective Filly's car. The door is open. In Gordo and another guy step out. Filly can see that Gordo has a gun tucked away

in of all hiding spots his Fanny pack. The second man has a gun at his waist. That man is Levont

tremendous. The lion. The man who stays behind in the black Mercedes is his brother, Grigor. Gordo is their cousin. Soon, another cop arrives at the scene. Gordo tries to run away and Filly tackles him to the ground. To be clear, Levont and Grigor are not implicated in Gordo's kidnapping plot. But they're both charged with firearm assault against Detective Filly and they go to trial for it.

Grigor is found not guilty. But the jury was hung about Levont and a mistrial was declared. But in his retrial, Levont is found not guilty, too. Short, fat Gordo? He pleads guilty to the attempted kidnapping he was originally wanted for. It's important to say that Levont has been acquitted in all of the cases I've mentioned here. But all of these colorful details contained in court records have earned Levont's street status.

The title Armini Amabas is leveled at Levont quite often. And it's become a term that his attorneys despise. And, and I, I don't think there's such a thing as Arminian organized crime. Every community has people that engage in white collar activities, which labels you as mafia or organized crime. But I don't think that there's this club that's like a mafia. I don't think that really exists anymore.

Needless to say, the lion's life is a lot more kaleidoscopic than the picture of Levont that's

the Tareka scene painted for us. I have a guy who just wants to enjoy his lamb at Dequila in peace. All this time, I keep hearing about Levont's charisma, but also about how imposing he can be. So I was thrilled when we found this. Good morning. Good morning. Please state your full legal name for the record, please. Levont remained young. This is a very crackly recording of a deposition with Levont.

It's part of a civil lawsuit he filed in 2017 against a former business partner who he had an ugly falling out with. The video oozes Levont's temperament. He's leaning back in his chair. There's disdain in his face. His hair is slick back in black as coal. He's wearing a perfectly tailored pinstriped soup. I can definitely see what Satora means by the Scarface comparison. Let control if any, do you have over these truck stops? Do you want to go back and tell

him about it? He's talking about it today or 20 years ago. All right. Now let's let you know that

Colin, that's what I'm going to do. All right. Those are so, of course. All right. The

deposition only touches on Jacob Kingston a little bit, but while this lawsuit was happening, Jacob and his company were a big part of Levont's business dealings. How did you meet Jacob Kingston? You met with him in connection with a business deal? We got to know. We go to conferences. That's where we come from.

Everybody comes there. So you meet people there. So you met Jacob Kingston first

At a petroleum conference.

him, I will specifically ask him, I'm not sure if you're already talking about him. So,

I'll focus on your questions, so I can answer your questions. Let me finish. I'd like to know where

it was, sir, that you first met him. At my office, he asked me twice the same questions. So,

focus, please. Listening to him bark at the lawyer like this on the record, during a deposition, this is the kind of behavior that creates the legend of the lion. But, the most telling part of the deposition isn't in this video. It's in a later document summarizing the deposition. At one point, Levont, quote, explains he had previously placed a great deal of trust in Mr. Sarguisian, the business partner he's suing. He is actually in the room

during the deposition. The document continues to describe Levont. He's mean mugging the guy

and then he barks, quote, "When I lose my trust, it finishes up not good. Very bad."

There's just one more deposition that shines more light on Levont. And it takes us back to our story about Jacob and Levont's camp. Would you please introduce yourself? I'm Brendan Marseille. I'm from Kekeli, instead of Ireland. I'm in the tech business. Oh, he's also a former Irish rock star who toured with guns and roses in the Ramones. This bio-fuel world is bananas. Anyway, back in 2011, Brendan decided he wants

to get into the fuel business. But, he says, "Someone at his company made a shady deal to commit fraud with Levont and Jacob. Behind Brendan's back," which Brendan said he realized after about

six months and immediately pulled the plug. To be clear, the person Brendan is finger pointing at,

denies any wrongdoing. The problem is, before Brendan shut things down, Jacob and Levont

stood to make a lot of money on this deal. So, Brendan says, Levont starts demanding $1.8 million in lost revenue. And he's demanding a sit down in LA. It didn't understand why we owe it as money, and why everybody's putting pressure on us to collect money that we didn't trade. Brendan agrees to come to LA. As he drives up to the back of the royal gas station, he remembers feeling I'm not in his stomach. It's kind of like a scene from a movie.

It was like black SUVs outside. There was security guards outside as well. It all feels off to Brendan. I decided not to attend the meeting. It was fearful from, I didn't, didn't well. I went back to the hotel, because I didn't understand why people were saying we owe it won't find it million dollars. Brendan has no idea the complicated criminal web he stumbled into. He hides out in his hotel for two full days.

Until it's time for his flight back to Ireland. I was driving back to the airport and gone on two other guys put up beside me in an open hospital's rice. Brendan says, Levont and his body guards catch up with him on the way to the airport. Drive alongside him and stare him down. Just looking over on me, intimidate him.

Brendan makes it onto the flight in the end. When all is said and done, Brendan says he never

sheld out the 1.8 million to Levont. But all of this is nothing compared to what Jacob is about to find out. Soon, he will learn the full scale of those powerful connections that Levont has told them all about. That's coming up after the break. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guide, not quite on humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you

funnier this week. My guest, SNL's Mikey Day and Headwriters, Streeter Side L helped an occupile band with their between songs Banner. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for Banner. Wasn't a humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We should call it.

Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember going down. Yes, I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. We could call in and say, "Hey, Jonas,

and then i wrote down in my little note pad. Hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title." Oh, the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to hey, Jonas, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen, we don't care where you hear it. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcasts

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist tattoo removed.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the civil war. To get to school, I had to go down Robbyty Lee Boulevard. Get to the groceries store. I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're in a store in, and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing a job.

I'm Achila Hughes. In rebel spirits, season two, goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies.

We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire

that is really catching. You'll see what I mean. Listen to rebel spirits season two. On the I-Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When Jacob sought Levon's help about that IRS audit from earlier on, Levon promised him

he'd handle it. Then he invites Jacob to a dinner to show him how. It's the first of many

meetings like it to come. They'd happen in the backrooms of restaurants. At Levon's very upscale house, or in five-star hotels, with entire floors closed off by Levon's body guards. At first, the men sitting around these tables are just strange faces to Jacob. But over time, he gets to know them well. Here's my producer, Jake again, with Jacob Kingston's testimony. We would have dinner with police officers. We would have dinner repeatedly with home

land security agents. There is Detective John Ballion from the Glendale Police Department. A Fed, with home land security investigations, named Felix Sysnerals, a high ranking FBI supervisory agent, Babak Romand, who worked on a CIA task force.

And those body guards, always surrounding Levon, turns out they're off duty LAPD cops.

Levon is surrounded by a coterie of dirty cops from every branch of alarm enforcement. I've covered organized transnational criminals the decades. And I'll tell you, I have never seen this level of alarm enforcement corruption in my entire career. And frankly, it's so infuriating, it's what prompted me to go down the rabbit hole of this story in the first place. Here's just one example of the kinds of crooked things these guys have been up to.

That Glendale detective John Ballion, who is at those dinners? He's now a convicted felon, who's pleaded guilty to a plethora of crimes, including bribery charges and links to organized crime. He also goes way back with Levon. Here are some allegations that federal prosecutors have made against just him. Ballion's story brings us back to Gordo, Levon's short fact cousin who went to prison for that attempt at kidnapping. In 2012, Gordo was appealing his conviction.

And prosecutors alleged that Ballion takes 80 grand from "Gordo's family" and passes it on to members of the Mexican Mafia. Prosecutors say Ballion wants the gangbangers to

Track down the informant who gave Gordo up to convince the rat to change his ...

would help Gordo's appeal. But according to court records, the Mexican Mafia are never able to find

the rat and Gordo's appeal fails. Either way, imagine the impression being made on Jacob, as he hears these dirty cops brag about their nefarious side hustles. If Jacob has been concerned about getting caught by the IRS or the EPA, hanging out with Levon's boys makes him feel untouchable. And then, Jacob gets to experience the umbrella of protection himself. Joseph Langford, the IRS auditor, finally finishes his review.

And the outcome blows, Jacob's mind. The documents WRI submitted clearly didn't fool Joseph.

Wash-a-key renewable energy is in a shit ton of trouble. They are ordered to pay more than $100

million in fines and penalties. There is no way Jacob can afford that without going bankrupt.

So naturally, he goes to Levon, pleading for help again. And as always, Levon tells him not to worry,

he'll handle it. This time, it seems he actually comes through. WRI appeals the $100 million fine, and the IRS astonishingly agrees to lower it, to just $5 million. To Jacob, the message is loud and clear. The boys are at work. But before long, those shady dinners aren't just with cops and federal agents. Even more high-powered people start appearing around the table.

Next time on Kingdom of Broad, Jacob realizes that what he's gotten into

isn't just a tax fraud anymore. This is a game of intrigue, political influence and money laundering on a global scale. Kingdom of Broad is produced by novel for IR podcasts.

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. First people to do podcasts.
