Charges for Glenn Beck-backed gold firm

Prosecutors have filed criminal charges against precious metal dealer
Goldline International - endorsed by conservative celebrities Glenn
Beck, Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin - accusing the company of defrauding
customers and tricking them into buying coins under false pretenses.

The Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office this week filed a 19-charge
criminal complaint against Goldline, a California-based retailer,
alleging the company runs a “bait and switch operation” and suckers
customers seeking to invest in gold bullion to instead buy overpriced coins.

The company’s legion of paid conservative endorsers often vouch for gold
on-air, and the commercial breaks of their shows are filled with ads
pitching Goldline’s coins as a choice investment.
