California Attorney General v. local jewelry store owner

A local jewelry store owner is accused of swindling 22 victims out of nearly $1.5 million for Rolex watches that allegedly never existed. The jeweler appears to have run a luxury watch scam by targeting buyers who wanted to purchase high-end Rolex models, falsely promising to source watches through overseas brokers, and convincing them to wire the full purchase amount upfront. The watches never arrived, and the jeweler allegedly pocketed the cash instead of issuing refunds. Additionally, the jeweler is accused of defrauding a watch distributor of over $400,000.
