In January 2014 the company, at an advertising function to launch a new product, organised to rent a number of famous pieces of artwork to display at this function. It was hoped that this would attract more interest in the function. However during the function one of these artworks was stolen. The company’s insurance did not cover these artworks. The company was required to pay Masterpiece Gallery Ltd $1,400,000 to compensate for the lost artwork. This was paid in March 2014.
