Lev Dermen, also known as The Lion, was a self-made billionaire who came to California from Armenia and built a fortune out of nothing.

But behind the luxurious lifestyle, it was alleged that he was the leader of LA’s Armenian Mafia, and the mastermind behind the largest tax credit scheme in U.S. history.
