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.
