Fake news is disinformation that is disseminated for political purposes, economic gain, or entertainment.
This unfounded claim seems to be only for economic gain by the ones who have been distributing the false information. Multiple phony posts were determined to be stemmed from an extortion attempt, from approximately three years ago, against Los Angeles businessman Arsen Samvelian.The LAPD had retained one report from last year and will be taking a new report once these fake posts have been translated. Seems like there are new investigations, both criminal and civil ongoing. Arsen Samvelian’s lawyers confirmed that these new phony posts were a response to a civil extortion and defamation case filed in July 2025.
