Summary

A reporter's transcript of sentencing proceedings as to Arman Hayrapetyan, No. CR 20-579 SVW, before Judge Stephen V. Wilson in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, held October 18, 2021 in Los Angeles and filed December 14, 2022 as Document 1339.

THE CLERK:  Item 8, CR 20-579-SVW, United States
of America versus Arman Hayrapetyan.
Counsel, please state your appearances.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Good afternoon, your Honor.  Brian
Faerstein and Christopher Fenton on behalf of the United
States.
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Good afternoon, your Honor.
Jilbert Tahmazian on behalf of Mr. Hayrapetyan.
THE COURT:  And this is the time for sentencing.
Has defendant read the presentence report?
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  I have helped him read the entire
thing.  Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT:  And I will hear from you and/or your
client.  According to the pleadings, it appears that the
government is in agreement with the recommendation of a
10 month sentence.  
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Thank you, your Honor.  I believe
that my sentencing memorandum -- May I remove my mask,
Your Honor?
THE COURT:  Yes.

MR. TAHMAZIAN:  I believe that my memorandum
clearly states my position regarding what I would like
the Court to consider as to sentence for my client, and I
don't want to go through, repeat myself too many times.  
But one of the impressive things about
Mr. Hayrapetyan in my opinion was when he was contacted
and found out that he had a warrant for his arrest, he
couldn't wait to come in and face the charges and speak
to the government about the case and try to solve this
issue because he moved here to make a life for himself
and his family to come here.
And he did that in fact immediately.  Within
five or ten days he came in, he surrendered and he was
detained for about almost two-and-a-half months in
custody before Your Honor actually set bail for him to be
released on bond.  And since then he has been able to
resume his life back in the sense that his employer did
give his job back to him.  He is working on a full-time
basis.  He has resumed supporting his family back in
Armenia, his mother as well as -- I'm sorry -- his wife
and his daughter and his parents, Your Honor, and he
intends on leading a life of crime free.
The Court can see from the reports that were
indicated to the probation officer as well as my
memorandum that he comes from a military family, and he

has always been a law abiding citizen.  This what he did
is clearly out of character, and he has been remorseful
and has been waiting and impatiently wanting to accept
responsibility and put this past him and move on and live
in this country hopefully beyond his conviction and
sentencing here today, Your Honor.
I am asking Your Honor to consider that he has
spent enough time in custody, put him on supervised
release, your Honor, for two years, and if your Honor
wishes or thinks that additional time in custody is
required, I would hope that the Court would consider my
moving papers and allow him to serve that time in a home
confinement situation where he can continue to hold the
job and support his family, support his parents and
comply with the rules and regulations of probation, Your
Honor, and hopefully be able to put this behind him.
Submitted, Your Honor.  Thank you.
THE COURT:  Does he wish to be heard?
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Yes, briefly, your Honor.  Please.
THE DEFENDANT:  May I remove the mask?
THE COURT:  Yes.
THE DEFENDANT:  Thank you.  Respectful U.S.
Attorney and the Court, I apologize for what I have done.
I understand my mistake.  I hope -- I promise that I will
not take such a step again.  Thank you.

THE COURT:  From the trial and the plea hearing,
this -- I am asking the government now, Mr. --
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Faerstein, your Honor.
THE COURT:  Mr. Faerstein.  The -- his involvement
in a very significant crime overall appears to be the
most minimal of all the defendants in the sense that he
agreed to make the loan at Tamara Dadyan's request or
rather he gave this information to her.  He claims
that -- and this is the part I need some input on.
He claims that Tamara Dadyan filled out the
application and that she changed the information to
reflect -- he had a real business -- but to reflect that
the business actually had more employees or other metrics
that would allow a larger loan.
He got the loan, the money, and then he -- I
remember he kept about 75,000 of it, and he -- the rest
of it was it about 150,000, something like that, the rest
of it went back to her; correct?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Your Honor, I didn't want to
interrupt you.  I believe you are referring to defendant
Vahe Dadyan, and he is also --
THE COURT:  I am glad I raised the point because I
want to make sure I have everything clearly in mind.
So this defendant was the Voyage Limousine;
correct?

MR. FAERSTEIN:  No, your Honor.  That is defendant
Vahe Dadyan.
THE COURT:  So maybe I do need some help here.  Go
ahead.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Yes, your Honor.  Defendant
Hayrapetyan was -- he plead guilty to the money
laundering conspiracy.  He was not involved in the PPP
EIDL fraud conspiracy.  He was working with defendant
Grigoryan.
THE COURT:  I remember now.  So this was the
defendant who opened up bank accounts at Grigoryan's
suggestion or whatever, and these bank accounts were used
in the conspiracy to launder money.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Correct, your Honor.
THE COURT:  And so -- let me make sure.  In
this -- in his guilty plea, he admitted there came a time
when he knew the bank accounts were being used for an
unlawful purpose; correct?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct, your Honor.
THE COURT:  But at the beginning he claimed he
didn't know.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct.
THE COURT:  And how much money went through those
bank accounts that he opened up?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  With respect to the PPP, EIDL loan

fraud loans, there was about 1.3 million.  But as he
acknowledged and the government acknowledges in the
factual basis, he did not have access to the actual
online banking.  He was going to the bank or ATM's and
doing withdrawals.
THE COURT:  To get cash, and he gave it to
Grigoryan.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  He gave it to an individual at
Grigoryan's direction understanding that individual would
then give it to Grigoryan.
THE COURT:  And the amounts were more modest in
terms of withdrawals; correct?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Correct.  They were around
$110,000 plus or minus on different occasions.
THE COURT:  So in order to be guilty of the crime
that he plead to, the money laundering, he didn't have to
know, as true with any conspirator, the full scope of the
conspiracy?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct, your Honor.
THE COURT:  But he knew at a point that Grigoryan
was using him for an unlawful purpose.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Correct, Your Honor.
THE COURT:  And let me just see something here.
And what, he did plead guilty, he did implicate
Grigoryan?

MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct, your Honor.
THE COURT:  And did Grigoryan plead after or
before he implicated Grigoryan.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Defendant Hayrapetyan had a change
of plea which was not accepted and then defendant
Grigoryan plead guilty, and, then, after that, defendant
Hayrapetyan had a second change of plea.
THE COURT:  I see.  That is correct.  And the
first go round, in order to satisfy the Court that there
was -- that he was in fact guilty, he responded to some
of my questions in a way that didn't satisfy me that he
understood what he was doing at Grigoryan's request was
the violation he was pleading to.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct, your Honor.
THE COURT:  And, then, when Grigoryan plead
guilty, he changed his mind.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Well, your Honor, with respect to
the first go round, I believe the entirety of the PPP,
EIDL fraud proceeds that were deposited into those bank
accounts were part of the factual basis.
The factual basis also included the defendant
acknowledging that he was conspiring with the other six
defendants besides defendant Grigoryan.  And I believe
with respect to those two, those two factors in
particular, Your Honor had concerns that he understood

that full scope.  He did not know those other names.
Subsequently, the money laundering conspiracy
to which he has plead guilty to just involves
Mr. Grigoryan by name and also a smaller amount of money
as he did not understand that the total amount of the --
THE COURT:  So, really, in terms of the overall
fraud, I mean, the case, this was really just a very
small part of it.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  With respect to his conduct.
THE COURT:  Yes.  Yes.  I mean, you know, because
he didn't plead guilty to knowing that the bank accounts
he opened for Grigoryan were going to be used as they
were.  He plead guilty to knowing Grigoryan opened those
bank accounts, that at some point he knew that the bank
accounts were open for an improper purpose, and then he,
at Grigoryan's direction, removed cash from those
accounts and gave it to persons that Grigoryan instructed
him to.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct, your Honor.
THE COURT:  What is the maximum period of home
confinement?
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  In the sense of within the
guidelines, your Honor?
THE COURT:  Well, I mean what is my discretion?
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Discretion, I believe in this --

in the category he falls under, the Court can sentence
him to the remaining of the time as home confinement,
your Honor.  That is my understanding.
THE COURT:  How much is remaining of the time?
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Well, at level 10, he is facing
about 10 months, Your Honor.  So remaining time would be
about seven-and-a-half months approximately because he
did actually two-and-a-half months in custody.
THE COURT:  I see.
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  May I just add one thing, Your
Honor, very briefly.  From what I remember, and this was
a very complicated case the Court knows.  You tried this
case.  The initial plea agreement that was not accepted
by Your Honor was not filed under seal, and Grigoryan was
implicated in that plea agreement.  His name was in the
factual basis.
So when that plea agreement was filed with the
Court, it became a sort of public record for all the
defendants and at that time Grigoryan knew that my client
was giving the complete story to the government about his
involvement in this case.  Just wanted to make sure the
Court understands that.
THE COURT:  Well, of course, as in any case, I
know less about a particular defendant's actual
connection to a conspiracy, but, then, with regard to

    12
those who went to trial, because he was in the charts but
he was very peripheral.
Anything else from the government?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  The only thing I would mention,
Your Honor, is within the guidelines because this falls
as -- it is a Zone C, any term of imprisonment Your Honor
were to order, the maximum amount of home confinement
could be half of that if you were sentencing within the
guidelines.
THE COURT:  So say that one more time.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Yes, your Honor.  The guidelines
range in this case I believe is 10 to 16 months.
THE COURT:  So let's assume I gave him 16 months.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Yes, your Honor.  The term of
imprisonment, if it was 16 months, you could do half of
that within home confinement if you were staying within
the guidelines.
THE COURT:  But the other part would have to be
imprisonment.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Correct, Your Honor.
THE COURT:  And so if I gave him the minimum, it
would have to be five months home confinement and five
months of incarceration.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  That's correct which is what
probation is recommending in this case.

THE COURT:  But the Court has no discretion to
give him more than five months or eight months depending
upon the analysis for home confinement?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Well, as your Honor knows, the
guidelines are advisory so to the extent you were to vary
Your Honor could do whatever you saw fit.
THE COURT:  I see.  Does he have anything more to
say?
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  My client, your Honor?
THE COURT:  Yes.
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Your Honor, just I have set forth
some additional consideration for the Court in my moving
papers, the fact that he is a military man.
THE COURT:  I have that all in mind.  I mean, I am
not trying to cut you off.  I know his family background.
His father was a lawyer or he studied law and was in the
Armenian army and so forth.
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Other than that, your Honor,
submitted.
THE COURT:  All right.  Then does he want to be
heard?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Nothing further from the
government.
THE COURT:  Yes.

Honor.
THE COURT:  All right.  Pursuant to the Sentencing
Reform Act of 1984, it is the judgment of the Court that
defendant Armand Hayrapetyan is hereby committed on Count
26 of the first superseding -- of the indictment to a
sentence of home confinement.
Does that mean he gets probation or as a
condition of probation he gets home confinement.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Or supervised release.
THE COURT:  Well, okay, then, I sentence him to I
guess it is probation I think or supervised release, and,
as a condition, he is to serve seven-and-a-half months in
home confinement.  And that will account for the
two-and-a-half months he has already served in
incarceration.
All right.  10 months probation.  I think that
is the way to do it.  10 months probation.  As a
condition of probation, he is to serve eight months --
seven-and-a-half months in home confinement.  
And then he is to be placed on supervised
release for two years under the following terms:  
One, he comply with the rules and regulations
of pretrial services and Second Amended General Order
20-04.
Cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample.

He comply with the immigration rules and
regulations of the United States and if deported from
this country either voluntarily or involuntarily not
re-enter the United States.
He shall not obtain or possess any form of
identification other than that in his true and legal
name.
He shall submit his person, property, house,
residence, vehicle, papers, computers, cell phones, other
electronic communications or data storage devices or
media, e-mail accounts, social media accounts, cloud
storage accounts or other areas under his control to a
search conducted by a U.S. Probation officer or law
enforcement officer.
Failure to submit to a search may be grounds
for revocation.  He shall warn any other occupants that
the premises may be subject to searches pursuant to this
condition.  Any search pursuant to this condition shall
be conducted at a reasonable time in a reasonable manner
upon reasonable suspicion that the defendant has
committed a violation of his supervision and that the
areas to be searched contain evidence of this violation.
In paragraph 9 they said if there is a period
of home confinement, it includes electronic monitoring.

else?
MR. FAERSTEIN:  I think there is two separate
types of electronic monitoring.  There is the ankle
bracelet, and there is also the phone monitoring.
THE COURT:  I will order the phone monitoring.  In
other words that he, however the probation office does
it, he gets calls at random and he is supposed to
respond.  If he doesn't in a timely way, or he has to I
guess he has to respond to their call.
So I think that -- this is an appropriate
sentence considering all the factors, the guidelines, the
sentencing factors, his personal characteristics, lack of

serious crime, and I think it is the right sentence.
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Thank you, your Honor.
Would it be the right time to ask for the bail
bond to be exonerated?
THE COURT:  Yes.  Bail is exonerated.
MR. TAHMAZIAN:  Thank you, Your Honor.  Thank you
for your time.
THE DEFENDANT:  Thank you very much.
MR. FAERSTEIN:  Yes.  Your Honor, at this time the
government will move to dismiss as to defendant
