This is a statement of rebuttal for the false and fraudulent statements and accusations

made against Mr. Murat Akin, Mr. Edvin Muradyan and Ariana Holding, LLC as shown
in the screenshots captured (below) which were posted on a website called The
Whistleblowers in 2016.
Ariana Holding, LLC is a Nevada corporation formed in 2013 as posted. It is an LLC that
was incorporated as a holding company for financial investments made in the United
States. The directors of Ariana Holding, LLC are Murat Akin (a citizen of Turkey) and
Edvin Muradyan (a citizen of the United States).
In November of 2015 Mr. Edvin Muradyan was approached by an acquaintance Mr.
Steve Arey. They met in Los Angeles where Mr. Arey requested help on financial assets
such as Chinese and German bonds as well as cash. In the meeting with Mr. Arey
indicated that he had investors that would like to meet Mr. Muradyan in Florida.
Mr. Muradyan agreed to a meeting which occurred on December 15, 2015 at a
residence represented to belong to a Mr. Alan Piscatelli and Mr. Eddie Tinari located at
2900 Avenue Au Soleil, Gulfstream, FL. Present at the meeting was Mr. Edvin
Muradyan, Mr. Eddie Tinari, and two other gentlemen whose identity cant be recalled.
Mr. Tinari represented himself as the owner of resources to include gems, antiquities,
bonds, and foreign currency, which he desired to monetize. After discussing the
proposal from Mr. Tinari, a verbal agreement was made between all parties present to
bring applicable assets to the Ariana Holdings office in Turkey for authentication and
appraisals. Without verification of ownership, authentication of assets and certification of
value, there could be no agreement signed by the either Mr. Murat Akin (as a Global
Fed Trader which could manage such matters) or Edvin Muradyan to proceed with the
process.
During negotiations in Turkey in January and early February 2016, Mr. Akin and Mr.
Muradyan supplied identification for Mr. Tinari's files at which time Mr. Tinari told Mr.
Akin and Mr. Muradyan he had a gift coming for in the honor of meeting the trader. Mr.
Tinari stated that he would need identifications such as names, signatures, photos,
birthdates, etc. Initially, Mr. Muradyan didnt agree to this because Mr. Akin stated not to
share that type of information unless he authorized it, however, Mr. Muradyan
eventually consented on the provision that they were to erase all the personal
information when they finished. They used the information to create the bogus Treasury
Identification Cards.
Part of the agreement required for the monetization of Mr. Tinari's assets included a
percentage of the proceeds which were to be used in some form of charitable manner to
be determined and identified at the time of a transaction. The assets were still under
due diligence. (The Ariana Foundation incorporated in State of Florida is shown on the
Whistleblowers website. Mr. Tanari was placed in a Board of Directors position this was

later dissolved due the fact that the assets he presented were worthless and stolen. Mr.
Tinari had not been forthcoming with the actual history of how he obtained the assets
and/or he was dishonest. Mr. Akin suspended all activities and future transactions with
Mr. Tinari and removed him from the Foundation Board.)
In March of 2016 Mr. Muradyan returned to Gulfstream, Florida for an additional
meeting. At that time, he was given phony Treasury Identification Cards for both himself
and Mr. Akin as shown on the Whistleblowers website and metal gold size Treasury
badges (in leather badge wallets) by Mr. Tinari. The badges stated that the possessor
was a Criminal Investigator and Special Agent for the Department of the Treasury. In
addition, they had U.S. on either side of a Treasury Department seal. The badge
wallet had FAMILY MEMBER stamped under the badge. Mr. Muradyan accepted the
badges but left them at the residence. Mr. Muradyan asked if the identification cards
were made on a computer. In addition, Mr. Muradyan asked if all the information was
erased. Mr. Tinari stated that this is his house they will do what I ask. Mr. Gawi stated
that everything was erased and that there was nothing to worry about. He also knew
that if the information was ever used without Mr. Akins or Mr. Muradyan knowledge, Mr.
Akin would take appropriate legal action. When Mr. Muradyan told Mr. Akin about what
had occurred he stated to hold on to the IDs and Badges (Mr. Muradyan assumed for
potential evidence should legal action be necessary) and to make sure nobody ever
saw them or acquired them.
Shortly after the meeting in Gulfport, Florida in March, 2016 Mr. Muradyan started
receiving threats via texts to his phone in mid-April, 2016 from a Mr. Fioto who stated he
had FBI friends that had already been investigating both he and Mr. Akin and that they
would be answering for the theft (of the assets taken to Turkey by Mr. Tinari) and they
needed to bring them back. Mr. Fioto never stated any specifics. Mr. Fioto stated that he
was the actual owner of the assets that Mr. Tanari had claimed. Mr. Fioto apparently
was talking on behalf of a group he represented. Mr. Muradyan stated that in the month
of January, Mr. Tinari and a Mr. Gawi, and a Mr. Weagani frequent guests at the
Gulfstream House had mentioned Mr. Fiotos name an individual that was known as a
non-performer. Mr. Muradyan advised actually not to work with him and they all
understood and agreed to that fact. Mr. Muradyan had no idea Mr. Fioto was still
working in the background with Mr. Tinari and his group. When these threats began, the
proper authorities were alerted and it is in their hands now.
No one associated with Mr. Akin, Mr. Muradyan or Ariana Holding, LLC made any
threats, promises not described in this rebuttal, and have never had a shell company in
Arizona. While their negotiations and transactions are confidential no illegal activity is,
or has been done.
Neither Mr. Akin nor Mr. Muradyan have ever stayed in West Palm Beach.
