 A Village of Oak Creek man was arrested last Thursday for allegedly defrauding a couple and another person out of more than $1 million. Yavapai County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kristen Green tells the news 32-year-old Nicholas Silvestri traded gold and silver coins with the Village of Oak Creek couple for bullion investments. 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.
