 YCSO deputies from the Eastern Area Patrol took a report from two victims, a husband and wife, who lived in the village of Oak Creek, who claimed that they had been defrauded out of over $1 million. The victims reported that a family friend, 32-year-old Nicholas Silvestri, had assisted them in investing in gold and silver bullion over the last few years, trading gold and silver coins to pay for that bullion investment.
