Rumson, NJ—More customers are coming forward with claims against Golden Goose Fine Jewelry & Gifts. In September, owner Anthony Goltsch was charged with theft after failing to return or pay for jewelry that customers left for consignment or redesign.

The additional losses total approximately $300,000, says the paper. Goltsch was charged with another count of theft on top of the ones he’s already facing, for a grand total (so far) of approximately $560,000.
