    ARMENIAN GANG MEMBERS GET 25 YEARS FOR FRAUD

    Modesto Bee, CA
    Nov 28 2012

    SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Federal prosecutors say two men who orchestrated
    an elaborate identity theft ring from behind bars will each stay there
    to serve new 25-year sentences.

    U.S. attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek says 36-year-old Angus Brown,
    known as "Homicide," and 33-year-old Arman Sharopetrosian, known as
    "Horse," were sentenced Wednesday by a federal judge.

    Along with 18 others, they faced prosecution for using cellphones
    smuggled into Avenal State Prison to command the Armenian Power gang
    in a scheme to obtain Social Security numbers and other personal
    information. They stole millions of dollars from hundreds of people.

    Brown had numerous priors, including identity theft, at the time of
    the most recent conviction. Sharopetrosian was serving a 10-year
    sentence for shooting at an occupied vehicle and carrying a concealed
    weapon.
