## Resource

A jeweler in Orange County just got five years for swindling 32 victims out of $1.7 million by selling fake Rolexes — promising delivery but pocketing cash and vanishing. He preyed on buyers desperate for luxury watches, demanding full payment upfront with no return policy. When victims demanded refunds, he vanished — until the California DOJ caught up. After pleading guilty to multiple felony charges, he’s now facing prison time — a stark reminder that fraud won’t fly when you’re stealing from people’s trust.
