One of Beck's Gold Sponsors Shut Down

What a shocker. One of Glenn Beck's gold sponsors placed into receivership due to customer fraud.

Glenn Beck might, for once, be right: the government is coming for your gold. But only if you happened to buy it from one of Beck's advertisers, the Superior Gold Group. At the request of prosecutors from LA County and Santa Monica city who have filed a civil suit against the company, Los Angeles County judge has ordered that Superior Gold be placed into receivership and all of its assets—bank accounts, real estate, and presumably gold stored for customers—frozen. On Monday, a court-appointed lawyer actually physically seized control of the company, presumably to prevent further wrongdoing. The lawsuit alleged that among other things, Superior had defrauded its customers by overcharging them, fraudulently inducing them to buy overpriced collectors' coins rather than the bullion that they wanted, and taking customers' money for coins they never produced.

And the judge's name? George Soros.

Kidding.

Unless you're a Glenn Beck fan, then yeah. Soros is behind everything. He's even behind you right now! RUN!
