Hey there Mastodonians,

For personal family reasons I'd rather not get into, I need help digging up dirt on three "buy gold/silver" companies.

They are 100% rightwing crazies. That isn't the issue. I am looking for dirt: scams, fraud, criminal histories, angry customers-- whatever you can dig up.

They are:
- ITM Trading (owner: Craig Griffin)
- GoldCo (Hannity affiliation)
- KirkElliottPhd dot com

I'm most concerned about Elliott "phd" because he claims 27 yrs experience, yet seems to have no real past beyond a certain point. He has SEO'd the fuck out of search engines. I think he might have changed his name at some point. Also, this Elliott is the one that a certain elderly, poor person is most eager to hand over all of her money to... SOON. Like, he has them hooked and excited and ancy. They can hardly wait to throw their money away.

PLEASE boost. I'm really racing the clock on this one.

@JoParkerBear all the people in the “What People Are Saying” section are speakers or nonprofit leaders in an evangelical space.

Also, there are the two bad reviews on Google then a bunch of glowing ones. It’d be interesting if all the reviews are from states he can do business with. Other than that though, the lack of reviews is more concerning. Just very little proof.
