NYC jeweler gets $1.4 million judgment vs. Broner

On Monday, a federal court in New York City issued a certified judgment in favor of Pristine Jewelers NY, Inc. against Adrien Broner and his company, About Billions, LLC, in the amount of $1,464,450.63. The lawsuit was filed in 2018, alleging that Pristine Jewelers sold Broner custom jewelery on credit and Broner failed to pay. About Billions sent four different checks to Pristine Jewelers that were returned for insufficient funds. In June 2019, Broner and About Billions entered into a settlement agreement requiring payment of $1,252,000 in three installations, but after making the first payment of $252,000, they failed to make the remaining payments required under the settlement agreement. Pristine Jewelers then moved for a default judgment and Broner and About Billions failed to respond, which lead to this week's issuance of the certified judgment. The $1.464 million figure includes interest and attorneys' fees.
