This is an IRA fraud case, in which Sterling Trust Company (Sterling), with intent to deceive or defraud or with reckless disregard for the truth or the law materially aided Bruce Sands of Superior Gold Group in committing fraud.
(Superior Gold Group is currently under investigation by the Santa Monica Attorneys office)
Sterling breached its fiduciary duty as a trustee by not investigating and or reporting to the authorities non delivery of gold to IRA accounts.
They were directly responsible as legally appointed custodians. They claim no responsibility because the accounts are called 'self directed'. If the accounts were truly self directed then the law would not require them to be custodian between IRA customer and gold brokers.
It has been over 2 years since I sent Sterling Trust company my IRA money and they have not completed the transaction or given my money back.
