Jewellery Industry Network: Connecting the dots in a $14 million collapse
Image Gallery (18 Images)

The Jewellery Industry Network, founded by Angkham (Andy) Phanthapangna and Laura Moore, is connected to seven companies that have collapsed with $14 million in liabilities, and owing the Australian Taxation office $6.9 million along with $1.4. million to staff.

Laura Moore appears as a Grow Fit Fund advocate at a launch, aligning herself with the charity’s branding. The juxtaposition fuels scrutiny over overlapping interests, governance boundaries, and potential conflicts.

Laura Moore’s LinkedIn post not only details her connection to the children’s charity, it also demonstrates the many ways in which her and Phanthapangna's business interests have been intertwined not only with each other, but also with the broader Australian jewellery industry.

SHOW ME THE MONEY: Andy Phanthapangna, former director of Jewellery Industry Network and Jewellery World, appoints liquidators to a string of companies for which is a director.

UNUSUAL TIES - Laura Moore says: "As a board member, I am very proud to help shape the direction of this amazing organisation which strives to assist kids all over Australia."

Ivan Vantagiato's post on LinkedIn: "Congratulations to the entire team at Jewellery Industry Network for putting on a world class event. I had the pleasure to interview many exhibitors and attendees who were all blown away by the level of professionalism and attention to detail this event had."

EzyFund Website Full Capture

ANMOLPREET SINGH - On the same day that Phanthapangna's children’s charity was placed into Administration (25/9/25) he resigned from EzyFund being replaced by Amnolpreet Singh as director and shareholder.

Francis Wong has served as Chairman of Apeirogon since April 2023, the ‘market-leading digital solutions company from Australia’, as at 24 November 2025.

Angkham (Andy) Phanthapangna, Francis Wong OAM and ASEAN Secretary General Kao Kim Hourn.

SPONSORING YOUR OWN EVENT - Apeirogon’s name and logo feature prominently as a sponsor of Francis Wong’s ‘Australian ASEAN Business Forum’, including its recent Adelaide event. Apeirogon, for which Wong claims to be ‘chairman’, was placed into Liquidation on 15 August 2025, 10 days before his event.

EXPLORING THE LINKS: Francis Wong’s personal LinkedIn account states “Chairman Apeirogon”, while Apeirogon’s LinkedIn account here lists him as an employee, alongside Steven Shao and Jett Ferro. (See logo images below)

FRANCIS WONG: Promotes himself as ‘Chairman Apeirogon’ - but which ‘Apeirogon’? The one for which he a director and shareholder - and previously with Andy Phanthapangna - or the company that collapsed with $2 million in debts, and owing the ATO $1.1 million.

FRANCIS WONG ‘Chairman Apeirogon’ - While the names are similar, all four ‘Apeirogon’ websites use distinct logos. The logo used by Wong's LinkedIn profile appears to be for the now liquidated Apeirogon and which is very different from Apeirogon Corporation, for which he is director and shareholder.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING: Just four days before Andy Phanthapangna placed two companies into liquidation, Kleidon published a podcast featuring Phanthapangna alongside Jett Ferro and Trent Merrin, titled, 'What we teach our children’.

Ivan Vantagiato's LinkedIn profile showcases his companies that include Banq Media and Diverso Resources.

The collapse of businesses linked to the Jewellery Industry Network left $14 million owed, including $1.4 million in entitlements. Liquidators report failed companies, tax debts and inter-company dealings, raising questions about accountability.
