When Karen Meacham and her husband Gary Ziffer watched a recent episode of "Amish Mafia" they were surprised to discover that Lebanon Levi, the big boss in "Amish Mafia", claimed to offer protection to their business in exchange for a fee, reports Enstars on Jan. 2.
Although the Discovery Channel's hit reality series "Amish Mafia" didn't actually say Levi and his gang protected the store "Visitors Art & Glasswork", it did lead viewers to believe it.
"[In] The scene before, they were talking about how they protect Lancaster businesses, and then [in] the next scene they're coming out of our store with an envelope. I went, 'Oh my gosh, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Our store is protected by Amish [Mafia]?'" Meacham told Enstars.
The couple says they decided to have a little fun with it and created a sign for their store that says, "This store is protected by Lebanon Levi."
The couple has owned the store since 1989 and has no agreement with Lebanon Levi and the alleged "Amish Mafia" to exchange "rent" for protection of their business.
Watch "Amish Mafia" Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. ET on the Discovery Channel.
