1 DECLARATION OF CATHERINE AHN
2 I, Catherine Ahn, declare as follows:
3 1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney for the Central
4 District of California, assigned to the prosecution of United States
5 v. Ayvazyan, et. al, CR No. 20-579(A)-SVW. I make this declaration
6 in support of the government’s sentencing position for defendant
7 Marietta Terabelian.
8 2. Exhibit 1 (filed under seal) is a 26-page exhibit comprised
9 of the actual and intended losses borne by lenders (pages 1-2), and a
10 table of the corresponding loans identifying the purported business
11 applicants, purported individual representatives, the lender, and the
12 loan amount (pages 3-26). They were prepared with the assistance of
13 Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Justin Palmerton,
14 Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Special Agent
15 Geffrey Clark, and U.S. Small Business Administration Special Agent
16 Timothy Massino, and were provided to U.S. Probation and defense.

18 containing surveillance video of defendant Marietta Terabelian’s
19 residence on November 5, 2020. It contains two videos, titled “Ahn

21 content of these videos were previously produced to defense as

23 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United
24 States of America that the foregoing is true and correct and that
