\"\"Recently, Representative Anthony Weiner (D-New York) issued a report on Goldline International <\/a>to the SEC and FTC, claiming that Goldline is guilty of misrepresenting itself to buyers and charging astronomical prices for its precious metals.<\/p>\n

The reason Goldline is being attacked? It buys advertising during Glenn Beck’s Fox News television show, and Glenn happens to think gold is a good investment. Since Beck is a harsh critic of the Democratic agenda, something had to be done to tarnish the reputation of him and his advertisers.<\/p>\n

The report claims and “investigation” was done by Weiner’s people, but what they’ve done can hardly be called anything near “investigation.” For this reason, Barry Minkow and Fraud Discovery Institute did an investigation into Goldline of their own.<\/a> The work was completely unpaid, and was simply done out of a desire to set the record straight on the real bad actors here.<\/p>\n

I participated in the investigation, giving my opinion on multi-level marketing company Numis Network<\/a> (which also sells gold and silver coins), and investigating the prices charged by competitors of Goldline for some of the more common coins.<\/p>\n

The report on our findings is lengthy<\/a>, but contains everything you need to verify what we’ve found. There are links to relevant data, and attachments supporting our conclusions.<\/p>\n

What did we find about Goldline International? It’s not the fraud. The people investigating on behalf of Weiner are the real frauds, providing only part of the story in their report to the SEC and FTC, apparently in order to make the company look bad (and therefore fulfill Weiner’s political agenda).<\/p>\n

Here is a summary of what we found<\/a>:<\/p>\n
