The Rosendorff retail business was sold to a related party before Brett Orzel of OWS Advisory assumed control of the liquidation.<\/p>\n<p>The Levy family reportedly retained ownership of the retail business.<\/p>\n<p>The ATO is seeking to recover the alleged debt, along with penalties, interest and legal costs, from director Yehonatan Levy. Orzel declined to comment on how the investigation into the company&#8217;s affairs is progressing.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Rosendorff Diamonds announced plans to move more of its business online, reduce its product range and operate by appointment only after selling its stock.<\/p>\n<p>The company stated the changes were part of its long-term business plan and denied any link to financial trouble. Rosendorff started as a gift store in the early 1960s and became a luxury jewellery retailer in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>The business collapsed in 2019, with a liquidation sale raising over $9 million to repay creditors. Levy later bought the business and pledged to continue the jeweller&#8217;s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>More reading<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/15305\/Smoke-Mirrors-Where-did-it-all-go-wrong-for-Leading-Edge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Smoke &amp; Mirrors: Where did it all go wrong for Leading Edge?<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14815\/Trouble-continues-for-Jewellery-Industry-Network-founders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Trouble continues for Jewellery Industry Network founders<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/13120\/New-money-laundering-laws-Pallion-Group-the-ATO-and-the-voidable-transaction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New money laundering laws: Pallion Group, the ATO, and the voidable transaction<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/14646\/Jewellery-Industry-Network-Connecting-the-dots-in-a-14-million-collapse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jewellery Industry Network: Connecting the dots in a $14 million collapse<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewellermagazine.com\/Article\/13079\/New-money-laundering-laws-Millions-at-stake-in-the-jewellery-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New money laundering laws: Millions at stake in the jewellery industry<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; A prominent Perth jewellery retailer is being sued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) over an alleged&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[23998,16294,15947,6036,6047,78850,6035,6048,6049,78849,6037,6034,6052,6032,6050,6046,6029,6030,6051,6031,152,78851,335,78847,78848,1178,6045,6038,78852,6041,6042,6043,6044,6033,6039,6040,78853],"class_list":["post-64481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-perth","tag-ato","tag-australian-financial-review","tag-australian-taxation-office","tag-b2b","tag-bangles","tag-brett-orzel","tag-business-to-business","tag-chain","tag-charms","tag-clyde-associates","tag-consumer","tag-directory","tag-fairs","tag-industry","tag-information","tag-jaa","tag-jeweller","tag-jewellery","tag-knowledge","tag-magazine","tag-news","tag-ows-advisory","tag-perth","tag-perth-jeweller","tag-perth-jewellery-retailer","tag-productivity","tag-products","tag-retailers","tag-rosendorff-diamonds","tag-sales","tag-services","tag-stores","tag-subscribers","tag-suppliers","tag-trends","tag-watches","tag-yehonatan-levy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
