Alpha Omega Files for Bankruptcy

January 03, 08 by IDEX Online Staff Reporter

Boston-based independent jeweler Alpha Omega filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week, following recent news of its rapid closure and the sudden flight of its owner to India.

 

The store reopened two days after owner Raman Handa left the country amid growing financial problems and seizure by the company’s bank of its assets, according to reports in Boston news outlets.

 

Alpha Omega asked the court to approve the sale of its assets by auction, according to BostonHerald.com. A lawyer representing the jewelry chain said that Alpha Omega had accumulated a debt of $18 million in business loans.

 

In its court filing, Alpha Omega said that it owned $12.7 million to creditors, the three largest debts are to Rolex Watch USA, the Boston Globe and Swatch Group USA.
