  • Sheila and Norman Greenberg claim von Detten persuaded them to invest $2.1 million of their retirement savings into gold coins.
  • The lawsuit alleges the gold coins were significantly marked up, leaving the couple's investment worth only $1.3 million.
  • The Greenbergs are seeking $900,000 in financial losses along with court-imposed punitive damages.
  • Rosland Capital has since filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as other customers also attempt to recover lost savings from the company.
