But CNBC's boss is "owned" by Obamassiah so it's OK.

Authorities in California said today they have opened an investigation into Goldline International, a company that pioneered the practice of weaving its sales pitches into broadcasts by popular conservative political personalities -- including two former presidential candidates and Fox News host Glenn Beck -- to sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold every year.
There are two main types of complaints we're seeing," said Adam Radinsky of the Santa Monica City Attorney's office, which has launched what it described as a joint investigation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
"One is that customers say that they were lied to and misled in entering into their purchases of gold coins," he said. "And the other group is saying that they received something different from what they had ordered."

FDR confiscated the gold. So did Fidel. Barack will too.
I guess advertising really does pay, no matter how lame the commercial.
Gee, what a coincidence. A sponsor of conservative commentator Glenn Beck is being investigated for fraud.
Anyone who really believes this investigation isn’t solely based on political grounds is delusional. The left is desperate to de-legitimize Beck and any conservative commentator and going after their sponsors has long been one line of attack, which usually fails, as this one will.
So, Beck is RIGHT.
To the mattresses.
The left, once again showing Americans how they are nothing more than repugnant pigs...
A few weeks ago Beck revealed he had a discussion with his advertisers about things like this happening.
Now we know why Apple refuses to let Limbaugh run advertising on his show.
They don’t want to be placed under investigation by,*AHEM* their own side.
FWIW - there are better places to buy gold than this place.
Just one of the many fronts MSM & the RATS are waging in their war against Beck and other conservatives to silence them.
But CNBC's boss is "owned" by Obamassiah so it's OK.
Over 100 complaints of fraudulent dealings should be ignored I suppose.
He might cry again.
Invest in tissues.
FWIW - there are better places to buy gold than this place.
Sadly, Glen Beck and Mike Huckabee's audiences consist of the same gullible Lawrence Welk Conservatives who were oblivious to this "modern spiritual."
Lied to... Got something different from what they ordered... Lots of complaints...
Funny, sounds like the federal government
When will we get an investigation started to look into the practices of congress?
“Blanchards” is good. I didn’t like Goldline because they were too fast and slick on the phone. Wouldn’t take time out to explain anything.
I assume you’d prefer the gold money be spent on trains?
Goldline carries a A+ rating from the BBB and these complaints constitute 1/10 of 1% of their customers. Hardly a red flag. Anyone can file a complaint against a company on specious grounds. I strongly suspect that this investigation will produce nothing at all but the leftmedia will use 'investigation of Glenn Beck sponsor' to infer that Beck is complicit in helping a company defraud his listeners. A complete and utter lie but then, we're talking about leftists, in this case some otherwise inconsequential lefty congressman from New Yawk, who can't win an argument with facts so they use any means available to silence those who oppose their political philosophy.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn, some day when no one cares anymore, that the complaints against Goldline were entirely bogus. Meanwhile, Glenn Beck will prosper as will his sponsors. That this infuriates the political left is always satisfying.
I assume you’d prefer the gold money be spent on trains?
No, I think Americans should be allowed to horde as much gold as they want.
But I think it's also wise to have a diversified portfolio of tangible assets, so it would be a good idea to convert some of the paper money into modern, efficient passenger rail infrastructure before them stinking federal reserve notes become as worthless as TP.
I believe the DA of LA county is a Republican I am not sure of the political persuasion of the Santa Monica DA, but it does seem to be a joint investigation.
