Diamond retailer faces bankruptcy bid

Vashi Dominguez, founder of the collapsed luxury diamond retailer Vashi, is facing possible bankruptcy. The company, which went under in 2023, is alleged to have been involved in a £170m scam. Liquidators have served a statutory demand for over £17,500, which could lead to a bankruptcy petition. Dominguez’s whereabouts remain unclear, and his company’s diamond inventory was valued at just £100,000, far below the claimed £150m. Some creditors are frustrated by the lack of investigation into the company’s collapse.
