Counsel for Artur Ayvazyan
 
 
 
 
Defendant Artur Ayvazyan respectfully opposes the government’s request 
that the conditions of his bail be modified and that he be remanded into custody 
prior to sentencing. Artur Ayvazyan joins in the legal arguments made by 
Richard Ayvazyan set forth in Doc 603.  For the reasons set forth below, the 
government’s request should be denied. Artur Ayvazyan presents no flight risk 
or danger to the community, and the fact that convicted co-conspirators with 
greater exposure are free on bail conditions indicates that the Government seeks 
to unfairly target Artur Ayvazyan for exercising his right to trial, and his right to 
testify on his own behalf.  
 
I. RELEVANT BACKGROUND 
 
 
Defendant Artur Ayvazyan lives in the San Fernando Valley with his wife 
and two children. He was born in Armenia and came to the United States with 
his family when he was a child and later became a U.S. citizen. Ayvazyan’s 
professional, family, and community ties are firmly rooted in the Los Angeles 
area. 
 
On November 5, 2020, Ayvazyan was arrested and was later released after 
he posted bail. Artur Ayvazyan is also subject to location monitoring, which 
currently includes active GPS monitoring.  
Ayvazyan has dutifully complied with the terms of his pretrial release.

Artur Ayvazyan is a truck driver. He does not have the financial means to 
flee. All of his bank accounts have been frozen, and he did not object to the 
forfeiture of the $74,000 in the Allstate Towing bank account currently before 
the jury.  Artur Ayvazyan does not have his passport. Artur Ayvazyan does not 
have possession of his hunting firearms, and never will again. Artur Ayvazyan is 
not accused of any violent crime – he is not a danger to his community. 
 
 
 
The government’s argument that it is allowable for Tamara Dadyan, who 
obviously played a exponentially greater role in this offense than Artur 
Ayvazyan has been found to have had is frankly sexist. It is denying that children 
need their father, and, again appears to be an attempt by the government to 
punish Artur Ayvazyan for exercising his constitutional right to testify at trial 
rather than to have acquiesced to a plea agreement.  
 
II. CONCLUSION 
 
 
For the foregoing reasons, the government’s request to remand defendant 
Artur Ayvazyzan should be denied, and the current conditions of his pretrial 
release should remain in place.
