Fraud allegations[]

Levi mass purchased oil leases in 2020 and claimed "I always wanted to be an owner of oil and gas drilling, People have contacted me to see if I would sell and I said no. They said they would pay a little more."[1] She quickly resold the oil leases in the United States at very high profit margins to the Burmese people with no oil drilling experience. She advertised the leases on social media to her 600,000 followers, promising them high returns.[2]
