AG Brown concludes his investigation into the Utah-based jewelry company Paparazzi’s alleged pyramid scheme with a $1.9 million settlement and a binding resolution that requires the company to be more transparent if it wishes to continue operating in Washington state. Attorney General Nick Brown will send 7,100 Washingtonians who sold jewelry for the company checks of an average of $180 in the near future.

“Our investigation showed Washingtonians were clearly harmed by Paparazzi. Advertising too-good-to-be-true returns on investments is one of the ways companies and individuals try to deceive Washingtonians.” – AG Brown
