DECLARATION OF CATHERINE AHN 
I, Catherine Ahn, declare as follows: 
1. 
I am an Assistant United States Attorney (“AUSA”) for the 
Central District of California and am assigned to the prosecution of 
United States v. Ayvazyan, et. al, CR No. 20-579(A)-SVW.  I make this 
declaration in support of the government’s sentencing memorandum for 
defendant Artur Ayvazyan. 
2. 
Exhibit 1 is a 19-page exhibit comprised of the actual and 
intended losses borne by lenders (pages 1-2), and a detailed table of 
the corresponding loans identifying the purported business 
applicants, their purported individual representatives, the lender, 
and the loan amount (pages 3-21).  These tables were prepared with 
the assistance of Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent 
Justin Palmerton, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations 
Special Agent Geffrey Clark, and U.S. Small Business Administration 
Special Agent Timothy Massino, and were provided to the U.S. 
Probation Office and defense counsel. 
3. 
Exhibit 2 is a true and correct compilation of excerpts 
taken from Government Trial Exhibit 10, which contained selected text 
messages sent between “tammy” and “Rich New.” 
 
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United 
States of America that the foregoing is true and correct and that 
this declaration is executed at Los Angeles, California, on November 
8, 2021.
