Erik Von Detten, Former Disney Star, Sued for Alleged Elder Abuse, Fraud

The Greenbergs say they lost more than $367,000 after the first purchase and another $418,000 after the second, court papers say.

  • Sheila Greenberg, 85, and Norman Greenberg, 97, filed a lawsuit May 11 in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging fraud and financial elder abuse against former actor Erik von Detten and Rosland Capital.
  • The Greenbergs disclosed having approximately $2 million in retirement accounts and trusted von Detten as an expert, viewing the IRA rollover as protection for their hard-earned wealth.
  • Court documents allege the couple spent about $2.1 million on coins worth only $1.3 million, with Rosland "likely" viewing them as a "whale" after learning their available funds.
  • Rosland Capital filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July, approximately seven weeks after the lawsuit was filed, complicating the Greenbergs' recovery prospects.
  • Judge Bradley S. Phillips presides over the case, with a management conference scheduled for November 9 at 8:30 a.m. in Santa Monica, as litigation continues.
