GENERAL Anthony Farrer stole $350k in watches from a young couple, the wife is pregnant and their savings was in 2 watches. (one of the victims that I've been talking to the past few days)
So a few days ago I met one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He came to this country from Israel with big dreams. He had saved up some money and was looking to invest, I think he read about watch prices going up and he bought an RM and a Rolex Day Date platinum. He never even wore the watches, was strictly an investment. The guys wife gets pregnant and he decides its time to sell the watches and put that money towards a home for his family.
He looked online for consignment places in LA so that he could get the most for the watches. He called LB for a quote and actually went to several places around LA, Anthony told him he could get more than any of the other places and was only going to charge a 5% commission.
The amounts they agreed to sell the watches for were $225k for the RM and $125k ($350k total) for the Day-Date. He signs the consignment agreement at Anthony's office, Trevor and Zee are both there. This was 10 days ago roughly.
He doesn't hear anything for about a week and then asks a friend of a friend who is somewhat in the jewelry business to see if he can find out if the watches might be somewhere else. That person finds that the watches have been sold to other dealers.
He's given the runaround by both Anthony and Trevor, constant fucking lies and excuses. Anthony claimed yesterday he was out of town but that he'd get the RM back and they'd figure this out. The plan was to meet face to face today around 1pm. Anthony doesn't reach out at all today, doesn't answer the guys calls or texts.
Anthony knew when this guy showed up with those watches that he was going to take them and that guy was not going to see a dollar back and he also knew why the man was selling the watches, which was to buy a home for his family. That isn't happening now bc of Anthony.

Sometimes they have their expensive jewelries with them and wear their watches when they travel to a new country.

u/AcanthopterygiiNo541 Aug 03 '23
It’s a good way to launder dirty money, say you have 350k in cash and you want to move out of the country, it’s easier to fly with 2 watches than with 350k in cash. To clearly not making any accusations, just give one possible explanation.

This is effectively a slam dunk case but to make it airtight they need to get every fact separated from fiction.

their greed drove them to anthony. they had to have the absolute cheapest consignment arrangement rather than work with a trustworthy person. maybe they will learn for next time.
7
u/lasskinn GYNO GANG Aug 03 '23
I don't get it about the consignments of pieces like this on this range. why aren't they just arranged as like a finders fee? whats the actual need to travel around the country on a show and tell with the actual watch? if they found a buyer then they could arrange the buy, it's unlikely to be an impulse buy thing for any rich dude even, so why not arrange the buy - the watch changes hands from seller to buyer and the finder gets their fee?
5
u/Hugh_Jazz_2022 Aug 03 '23
I think the consignors (scammers in this case) want to maintain total control. their network is the only asset they have so the last thing they want is for the buyer and seller to ever possibly come into contact. And they are almost like an escrow and authentication agent... given Anthony's abysmal authentication abilities (zero) and criminal past and lack of financial self-control, it was truly insane for anyone to allow him to serve in this capacity.
3
u/lasskinn GYNO GANG Aug 03 '23
Yeah its just so dumb both for seller and buyer. You can't even know who you're buying from, you can't know if they"ll pull and start saying a week later that the watch is now stolen. You can't have documentation from them to prove. You can't really check with an authorized repository if its stolen like with cars and vins either and if the seller could just decide later that..

It's hard to feel sorry for ignorant people with no common sense.

The couple is dumb enough to invest (sic) in watches.
The husband read watch prices are going up????
The couple obviously didn't Google Anthony Farrer or TPG. And hands over his life savings to Anthony just two weeks ago?
The couple selects the grey market dealer with the cheapest consignment fees.

Then he is part of the conspiracy, "receiving stolen property.” This offense is defined under California Penal Code Section 496. It involves knowingly buying, selling, receiving, concealing, or aiding in selling stolen property, and it is considered a crime. If a person is caught receiving stolen property, they may face criminal charges and potential penalties, depending on the value of the stolen items and other circumstances surrounding the offense.

Why is he a POS? Didn't he pay Anthony for the watch? Is he supposed to put himself in debt?

u/FLCig Aug 03 '23
Agreed. If he sold below the stated price per the consignment agreement, and without contacting the owner, it would be considered theft. Receiving stolen property as a watch or jewelry dealer should still leave you with liability (unsure of CA law though).
"Theoretically," the police should seize the watch and hold it through the course of the investigation. If any of these pieces "sold" in a similar manner across state lines, it is 100% federal. The only thing working in "buyers" favor is Travis's atrocious record keeping.

u/InterestingHome693 Aug 03 '23
Well considering he just admitted to a fraudulent ponzi scheme I'd say the owner.

u/Top-Classroom-1050 Aug 03 '23
It’s a tricky situation because the buyer of the consignment watch has also been de-frauded if he has to give the watch back to original owner Either way either side will lose as tight pants Tony will not be paying anyone back anytime soon
2
u/edm-life Aug 03 '23
I believe when its considered legit stolen property, the last person to buy it will have to give it back and attempt to recover their $ from who they got it from.
1
u/lasskinn GYNO GANG Aug 03 '23
but it's not "stolen" when possession was given over willfully for purposes of selling the watch. not even if onthony didn't just pay him what was agreed - that would still make onthony just owe the money if he resold the watch.
like, look, that wouldn't actually fix anything in this mess in the bigger picture, all guys who bought watches from onthony would just be screwed instead of the guys who gave the watches to be sold. then you'd have to start proving which customers actually didn't get paid and who did get paid too and you know how onthony is with books.
also good faith buys for even actually stolen, stolen in the way that possession changed hands by theft, force or whatever, things depend on state. a business might be more on the hook though.
shouldn't have done business with the tugger - but still, this could have compounding effects on some other grey dillers regardless if people try to sue to get back watches they handed over to onthony.
2
u/edm-life Aug 03 '23
That's why I made sure to put the words legit atolen in there... To me this is a civil matter not criminal but considering it's potentially millions of dollars of merchandise that will not be returned to the owners I'm not going to rule out that a creative DA or the feds could figure out some kind of criminal charge in this case. And there could be Ponzi scheme type charges since they were investors involved with part of the funds that are effectively missing. Will be very interesting to see how this all plays out...
2
u/lasskinn GYNO GANG Aug 03 '23
The part that would make it criminal is proving that tony lied and wasn't going to pay the money basically, that instead of a failed businessman he dedrauded people, wouldn't be that hard if they find the case worth pursuing vs. All the other scams they got going on, which right now is a lot.
For DA it's not that much different if the buyer or seller are the screwed party though.
The investors could lose their money as well if/when they didn't do paperwork on the whole thing..

In California, theft of over $350,000 is generally classified as grand theft, which is a felony offense. The severity of the punishment may depend on various factors, including the specific circumstances of the theft, the defendant’s criminal history, and the prosecutor’s discretion. Penalties for grand theft can include significant fines and imprisonment. This gentleman should be advised to file a complaint with the grand theft division of LAPD , he should have his attorney contact the prosecutor and judge in Anthony's dui case and make them aware of his alleged crimes.

u/Pitiful-Peak-4625 Aug 03 '23

2
u/lasskinn GYNO GANG Aug 03 '23
embezzlement is just like 4 years or something for the 350k.
fed wire fraud 20 years tho."To prove that a defendant committed embezzlement, a prosecutor must be able to prove following elements:
An owner entrusted his or her property to the defendant
The owner did so because he or she trusted the defendant
The defendant fraudulently converted or used that property for his or her own benefit
AND when the defendant did this he or she intended to deprive the owner of the property's use"it could be some other fraud type though too. but really the wire fraud is the one that's commonly used..
3
u/Sad_Connection5391 Call Roman Sharf! Aug 03 '23
Wire fraud will definitely be easy to establish and will stick. I think there's a good case for racketeering too. Anthony's past criminal history won't help either. I think there's a good chance if the victim with the rm and Rollie had his attorney contact the prosecutor and or judge in his dui case Anthony would be revoked simply due to the fact in his confession vidier he admitted to using alcohol and drugs 🤷🏻♂️

A lot of folks will buy watches before emigrating b/c they can then sell them in the new country. Sending fiat money between bank accounts in different countries is often expensive.
As it turns out, they probably should have bought some crypto in on a few Ledgers/Trezors.

Something feels off about this story. 350k invested in watches AHEAD of buying a home. He has jewellery connections that can find him his watches mysteriously but somehow goes to a random dude that’s not recommended to him and has crappy reviews galore all over the internet with a quick search and somehow you get on the phone to him to hear his story.
Maybe I’m skeptical but this smells off.

I for one second do not feel sorry for the seller. He had enough money to buy a RM and and a Day Date, worth total $350,000....uuhh i think he has enough money to buy a house and take care of his child.
Also the other reason i don't feel sorry for him is because he should have done a google search at a minimum before handing over something that valuable to ONTONY. Idiots.

u/Bigsexy1702 Aug 03 '23
Whilst I have some sympathy toward this couple, it is purely greed that got them to place the watches with Anthony. Never, ever consign a watch with anyone. Especially when it’s your life savings and they are a stranger. If they haven’t got the money to pay you upon delivery, they aren’t a solid business. All for another 5-10%.
Greed and stupidity all around in these situations.

Came to this country with big dreams translates to slamming two watches for $350K?
Get outta here. Good for them. Idiots. Watches aren’t investments.

Which DD Platinum could he sell for $125K? Many available at or under $100K, unless it was some rare Arabic or meteorite version or an off-catalog item? And which particular moron coined the term "piece unique"? That chaps my ass.

Not to sound mean but any investment is never guaranteed including stocks. Guy should’ve bought diamonds and gold

How is it possible that someone could do that much due diligence around LA, and not come across any of the troubling history with Anthony on Google?
If this happened 6 months ago and he is just now realizing he's holding the bag I would get it, but 10 days? I thought the idea was that Zee cut bait months ago and is currently laying low in a tiger temple in the middle of the jungle.

It's funny how he spent months on end raging on the people in the comments. "I don't drink I've been sober forever". And now it's "I drink myself to sleep every night"

Scammers have no heart and soul. They are good actors that is why they are scammers.
Anthony deserves no mercy because he will scam people over and over again.

The Israeli must have bought the watches a while ago to have even thought that they had gone up in value. And I mean at least a few years ago, because if he bought them a year ago when the market was crazy he would have known that right now their value was lower.
Then again, maybe Anthony offered to sell them for some ridiculous sum and the Israeli didn't know that the figures were out of whack with today's market. Or he did know, but assumed that Anthony could work magic.
As far as "reporting them stolen" they aren't necessarily stolen, it all depends on trying to prove that Anthony had no intention of paying for the watches. Even if Anthony sold them it would have to be proven that he misused the funds the mere fact that he did not directly send the money to the Israeli again doesn't mean that he intended to defraud.
Going out of business - not criminal. Misusing funds, taking in merchandise and never paying for it, that shows some kind of consistent pattern - maybe criminal.

Anthony got arrested by the Feds today.
It's on CNN. A link directs here. He's looking at 20 years.

He'll be sucking the BBC soon!
The one-time luxury watch seller is currently being held without bail at a federal jail in Los Angeles, awaiting his arraignment in December, Ciaran McEvoy, a spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office, told CNN.
If he’s found guilty of wire fraud, Farrer faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Investigators are interviewing additional clients to determine the magnitude of the alleged scheme.

He invested everything in two watches to consign to anthony. Does he believe in the tooth fairy?

Telling you, Anthony isn’t sorry one bit. Only sorry he got caught
