 After the trade, the victims had the gold and silver bars checked by a certified precious metals professional who told them that the bars were fake. The couple reported that they had purchased over a million dollars worth of gold and silver from Silvestri. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Bureau learned last week there's a second victim who had purchased $100,000 worth of gold and silver, only to find out it was fake after the fact. Silvestri is in the Yavapai County Jail on two counts each of fraudulent schemes and theft.
