Emmanuel Lemelson (born Gregory Manoli Lemelson) is an American-born Greek Orthodox priest, social commentator and hedge fund manager.

Between 1999 and 2010, he ran the internet company Amvona. In 2011, Lemelson was ordained a Greek Orthodox priest. In 2012, he founded Lemelson Capital Management, which runs The Amvona Fund, a hedge fund based on Christian ethics. In September 2018, Lemelson was sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for various infractions involving a short sale. A federal jury returned a mixed verdict resulting in a fine and 5-year injunction barring Lemelson from further securities violations.

Early life and education

Gregory Manoli Lemelson[1] was born in Phoenix, Arizona to a Jewish father and Christian mother.[2] Following high school, he attended Seattle University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies[3] in 1999.[citation needed] He then attended Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he received a M.Div. in 2003.[1]

While a 17-year-old undergraduate at Seattle University, Lemelson met Robert Spitzer, a Jesuit priest and philosopher. In interviews, Lemelson has indicated that the encounter was a significant event in his religious life.[clarification needed][4][5][6]

Early career

Lemelson has written about his early business experiences, saying that his earliest recollection was selling candy on the bus ride home from school in the sixth grade.[7] In 1994, while an undergraduate student at Seattle University, he launched a retail photography business, and in 1999 he founded the website Amvona (a name derived from the Greek word for "pulpit") from his dorm room at Hellenic College. The company, which sold photography accessories, grew quickly, generating around $40 million in revenue.[8]

In 2005, based in part on proprietary software the company developed, the site began a transition to a hybrid platform of social networking and ecommerce content.[9] By 2007, Lemelson developed technology to link media creation to relevant products using exif data and aggregating shared images of the site's users as a prototype first known as "Amvona Trails" and later rebranded as the independent website Flekt.[10][11]

Between 1999 and 2010, Amvona sold more than a million photo accessories to 300,000 customers, and was one of the top ten most visited online photo retail websites. The company also registered several patents, including proprietary software to connect its customers through user profiles, product reviews, exit data and online tracking software. Similar technology was later used by other websites to track user activities.[8][12] In 2010, Amvona discontinued its e-commerce business. There was no official explanation, however journalist Filipe R. Costa speculated it was due to increased competition from Chinese companies offering cheap photography equipment online, and Lemelson's business philosophy of not taking on massive debt for the possibility of future growth.[8]

Lemelson later added a news and securities analysis content outlet for the site focused on issues of faith, technology, economics and investing.[11][13]

Religious activity

Lemelson was ordained as a Greek Orthodox deacon on July 23, 2011, and, the following day, as a priest by Metropolitan Elpidophoros of Bursa.[14] He was granted the ecclesiastical name Emmanuel and was assigned to the Albanian Orthodox Diocese of America at the Holy Trinity Albanian Orthodox parish in South Boston.[15] In June 2013,[citation needed] he was assigned to the Holy Metropolis of Switzerland, a jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.[4]

In November 2014, Lemelson was a member of the Orthodox Church's delegation for a two-day meeting between Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I and Pope Francis in Istanbul. He has said that as a young man he fostered a vision that Catholics and Orthodox Christians would soon be reunited,[16] and he has stated that more progress towards reconciliation has been made under these two leaders than had taken place in nearly a millennium,[17] since the East–West Schism. Lemelson also argued that the timing was "critical" since, as he claimed, "Christians are facing unprecedented persecution in our modern era."[16][17]

At a presidential candidate campaign rally for Donald Trump held in Keene, New Hampshire on September 30, 2015, Lemelson offered the invocation and spoke at the rally, condemning the abortion practices of Planned Parenthood. He also gave a personal blessing to Trump.[18]

In October 2016 Lemelson called for the removal of the chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston following a clergy sex-abuse scandal. He said the incident was preventable and there were serious deficiencies in the protocols used for the oversight of clergy.[19][20]

In July 2023, Lemelson faced opposition from his neighbors in Stowe, Vermont, including Swiss billionaire and heir Fritz Brukhard, who attempted to stop him from completing the construction of an Orthodox Chapel[21] and other development projects in an affluent area. Lemelson's development plans were given verbal approval.[22][23]

Social commentary and media appearances

Lemelson has been profiled or appeared as a commentator on Benzinga,[24] CBS Radio Boston,[25] Fox News[26] and on Russia's NTV.[27][28] In a 2015 Fox Business video interview, Lemelson criticized the Federal Reserve for keeping interest rates artificially low and contributing to economic inequality,[18] and in a June 2016 op-ed for The National Interest, he advocated strengthening of US immigration policy, which he claimed would oppose Islamic extremism.[29] In interviews, he has been critical of identity politics as contradicting Christian teaching.[28]

In October 2015, Lemelson was profiled in a 4-minute video produced by The Wall Street Journal,[30] and in April 2021 he was in the HBO Max documentary series Wahl Street for his role as a mentor to actor Mark Wahlberg.[31]

Hedge fund manager

In 2012, Lemelson founded Lemelson Capital Management, LLC, the sole sponsor and general partner of The Amvona Fund, L.P. that focuses on deep value and special situations.[32]

In 2014, he shorted the stock of World Wrestling Entertainment, questioning the value of the company's brand.[2][33] and stating that he believed the company had made material misrepresentations about both its performance and operating model.[34] When the share price subsequently fell,[35] Lemelson went long the stock and called for new leadership or a sale of the company.[36]

In late April, 2014 Lemelson announced he was building a stake in the semiconductor and LED equipment maker Kulicke & Soffa Industries (NASDAQ: KLIC), saying the company was "absurdly" undervalued. In a letter to the company's CEO Lemelson said he had amassed a stake of nearly 1% and planned to continue buying. Following his commentary, shares rose nearly 10% on triple the normal trading volume.[37]

In June 2014, he shorted the stock of Ligand Pharmaceuticals, criticizing its business practices in a 56-page report alleging fraud and insolvency[38] and focusing on the drug Promacta and its relationship to Viking Therapeutics.[39] He also wrote letters to Congress regarding the alleged abuses.[40] The report allegedly caused a $500 million drop in the company's market capitalization and, after covering his short position in October 2014, a profit of $1.3 million to Lemelson.[41]

Lemelson's activities led the Amvona Fund to be ranked in three months during 2013–14 among the world's top performing hedge funds,[42][43] and by mid 2015 the company reported a net return of 150 percent since its launch.[2]

In October 2015, The Wall Street Journal published an article about Lemelson that included a claim that he boasted of his ability to "crash" stocks and quoted him as saying "My whole life I always knew things before they happened. I guess it's just a gift from God".[2] Lemelson later published a response to the story, calling it a "directory of fallacies," and outlined what he described as 14 major factual errors and omissions, but did not deny the quote regarding prescience.[44] Dow Jones (the owner of The Wall Street Journal) stated that they stood by their story.[44]

Accusation of security fraud

In 2016 Bloomberg published an article, citing anonymous sources, stating that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was examining whether Lemelson had spread false rumours about stocks.[45] Lemelson called the article "irresponsible and libelous"[46] and later sued Bloomberg,[47] but his complaint was dismissed.[48]

In 2018 Lemelson was sued by the SEC for irregularities over his 2014 Ligand short sale, and in November 2021 a federal jury returned a mixed verdict finding Lemelson liable for making false statements, but not liable for fraud.[49] [50] In December 2021, the SEC sought $2.3 million in penalties[51] along with a lifetime injunction barring Lemelson from the securities industry.[52] At the end of March 2022, U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris fined Lemelson $160,000, and enjoined him and his firm from further securities violations for the next five years.[53] As of September 2023, Lemelson has petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States for review,[54] and the petition is ongoing.[55]

Personal life

As of 2014 Lemelson was married to Theodora Anjeza Lemelson and lived in Southborough, Massachusetts.[4] As of 2015, he had four children.[2]
