Amish Mafia Trivia

Since it's known that many of the scenes on Amish Mafia are staged and it's never pointed out which ones are staged and which ones are not, it's likely that the authenticity of the entire series is questionable.

Nearly without exception, Amish leaders and scholars agree that Amish Mafia is pure fiction and does not represent the true Amish way of life.

A former Lancaster County prosecuter has stated that he is not aware of the existence of any Amish Mafia and if the crimes shown on the series actually occurred, it's highly unlikely that at least some of them would have been reported and prosecuted.

On one episode it's stated that Lebanon Levi was arrested by the Lancaster County Police Department when in actuality, there is no such law enforcement agency by that name.
