allegedly followed von Detten's recommendations and purchased more than $999,000 worth of Lady Liberty gold coins. The lawsuit claims Sheila paid $599,654.83 for 797 coins, while Norman paid $399,519.09 for 531 coins.

 They believed that, however valued, Von Detten was taking care of them and the price they paid was a fair price for what they bought and the gold they purchased was worth the money they spent. Afterall, this was an IRA rollover. An investment intended to protect their hard-earned wealth for retirement. 

The lawsuit claims the couple lost more than $367,000 in value almost immediately after the first transaction.

The Greenbergs allege von Detten continued contacting them and  hounded  them to invest even more money. The complaint claims Rosland  likely  viewed the couple as a  whale  after learning how much money they had available.

On Nov. 5, 2020, the couple allegedly made another purchase totaling more than $1.14 million. Sheila reportedly bought 885 additional coins for $677,644.50, while Norman purchased 614 coins for $470,139.80.

The lawsuit claims the second transaction resulted in another immediate loss of more than $418,000.

After the retirement accounts were  depleted,  the complaint alleges Rosland pursued other sources of money. In August 2021, the Greenbergs allegedly used their family trust to purchase nearly $200,000 worth of additional gold coins.

The lawsuit also alleges the physical coins were never delivered to the Greenbergs. Instead, they were sent to Delaware Depository for storage. The couple claims they continued paying fees to maintain their gold IRA accounts and store the coins.

Rosland Capital filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July, about seven weeks after the lawsuit was filed.
