Description

In a world where faith collides with finance and secrets lie buried beneath the glimmer of Wall Street, few figures are as polarizing—or as fearless—as Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson. A Greek Orthodox priest, deep state target and relentless activist investor, Fr. Emmanuel has dedicated himself not only to his faith but to exposing the shadows lurking in government, culture, and the highest echelons of financial power. Through his hard-hitting podcast, he peels back the layers of hidden truths with a uniquely Orthodox Christian perspective, casting light into places most would rather remain unseen.

As chief investment officer of Lemelson Capital Management and mastermind behind The Amvona Fund, Fr. Emmanuel has navigated the fierce currents of hedge fund investing, achieving world-class performance and gaining the attention of financial titans like The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s. Yet, with each victory has come a price. His ongoing battle with U.S. regulators over accusations surrounding Ligand Pharmaceuticals placed him in the crosshairs of the SEC, who labeled him as a cunning mastermind and a threat to their authority. In a suspenseful courtroom drama, a federal jury ultimately cleared him of allegations of a scheme to defraud, but the scars of that fight linger—a battle of faith and resilience against those who sought to bring him down.

More than just a financial maverick, Fr. Emmanuel has served as an advisor to celebrities like Mark Wahlberg, even drawing comparisons to legendary minds like John Forbes Nash Jr. in the HBO Max docuseries Wahl Street. A once-and-future president sought his blessing. He’s a man of paradoxes—a priest turned hedge fund star, a mentor to the famous, and an outspoken defender of Orthodoxy, willing to challenge the very fabric of ecumenical unity when he feels his faith demands it.

Fr. Emmanuel’s journey defies convention at every turn. His philanthropic endeavors reveal a man driven by faith and ambition—a formidable force seeking to reshape the world while remaining ever watchful, ever critical, and, most of all, unrepentantly outspoken.
