L.A. may be a great big freeway, but he surely needed more than $100
down to buy this car.
A judge wants to know how a reputed godfather in the Armenian mob has
been driving around in a $350,000 Rolls Royce Phantom while reporting
only a "quite modest" monthly income.
Armen Kazarian -- described by his lawyer as a used-car broker --
was busted last month in a $163 million Medicare fraud that feds
called the biggest scam of its kind by a single crime syndicate.
The Los Angeles resident was scheduled to ask for bail yesterday
in Manhattan federal court, but the hearing was postponed because
Kazarian refused to answer questions from a Pretrial Services officer.
Celebrity defense lawyer Mark Geragos said Kazarian, 47, apparently
misunderstood his instructions "not to talk to anyone," and would
cooperate at his next interview.
